the 05 ones

i have a magura lever and a 4 finger lever with echo pistons

wondering why mine are leaking then

Has anyone else used Echo TR pistons with a Magura and had success?

Nope not touched anything on the brakes. Reason I needed a new piston was because it swelled up and then i sanded it down a little too much. So got new pistons and yeah.. :/ My mate said try a magura o-ring on there are they slightly different to the ones that come standard on the echo tr piston?

Update: It's the lever body. Took the lever off, wiped it clean and dry, put back in pulled the lever hard about 30 times on each side. took it off and had oil over the lever on both sides. just bought a new piston though, so i don't understand?

Nope

Just tried the all the cable fittings or what ever you want to call them. They are all tight.

Starting to get seriously wound up by my brakes now. I got some new pistons, the echo ones. Work great nice spring tension on the lever etc.. However, over the past few months I have had major trouble with getting my brakes to work properly. Every few rides, if not one ride, I have to bleed my brake again. Not sure why?!?! The TPA gets wound all the way in then I just have to bleed it. Using Magura oil, the grub screws done up, the bleed screws done up, the tpa's are wound out when bleeding and facing at a slight angle as stated in the official how to bleed a magura rim brake video. I pump through the oil several times, minimum of 3-5 times. I do however need to buy a new bleed kit as the bleed hoses are slightly ruined and there may be a chance of them letting air back into the system. So that is one thing I am going to try, buy a new bleed kit (syringe and new hoses) and try that. But what else could it be? Brand new pistons too! Just fitted them yesturday so I'm sure it's not that! Edit: This was happening before the new pistons too.

Me too mate Get some recording done there too!

Nice video mate. As they said above, longer video is needed Shoes look amazing, don't listen to the other lot

Because it's not a bad piece of equipment. So yeah, it doesn't help with the stabilizing muscles, but other than that I see no other disadvantage. It's perfect for if you are going to the gym on your own without a spot and just in general a good piece of equipment. But yeah, at the end of the day free weight is miles better, but if you are at the gym on your own and you don't want to risk any sort of injury or whatever then the smith is perfect.

Disagree. Yes free weights are better I can agree on that.

Weight training wont mess up your riding as long as you dont concentrate purely on going to the gym. Keep riding your bike as much as possible and also chuck in the gym a few times a week. I go to David Lloyd gym now and do a full body workout, which does help with going bigger for sure. But you need to make sure you aren't solely mind set on the gym. Practice on your bike as much as possible and go to the gym a few times a week and it wont mess up your riding. I do; Squats, Bench Press, Seated shoulder press, Bent over barbell rows, (this hits your lats) Calf raises, And don't use machines. Free weight will give you the best results. P.S, Using a smith is better for squats and calf raises.

No. sprocket was as on tight and didn't have any tools. They said they would take it off for free. And then they looked at my spokes and hub and told me that.

Thanks guys its a tryall h rear hub

I gave my wheel to my local bike shop to sort out my broken spokes. I supplied them with the black spokes you can get from Tartybikes for a 26" wheel. They rang me saying the reason 2 spokes spanned were because the hub is drilled to 3mm and the spokes are 2mm, they said they can either build it like that or they can order washers in and charge me more money. What should I do? I just didn't know whether there were supposed to be a difference or not and they didn't know because it's a trials wheel or whatever? Any help would be great

I'm sure there is a IP.Mod for it?
