Ahh ok, no I can actually see the play in the pads when I lock the brake , put weight on the bike and rock backwards and forwards.

Hi, what do you mean? Will do, thanks.

Good afternoon everyone, I recently fitted a nearly new rear Magura HS33 to my bike and I'm running yellow pads, Onza Citrus I think. When I'm up on the back wheel I noticed what feels like a considerable ammount of play in the rear wheel which I have now discovered is down to the brake pads moving from side to side whilst locked on, maybe only 1/2 mm but it is noticeable and irritating. Has anyone else had this? and is there a quick fix? Cheers

I'd ignore the above comment, what an absolute steel, great find.

Personally I think this is all a bit ridiculous, the riding looks pretty damn good to me and if the guy wants to ride a 24" then let him. If I rode 24" and put a lot of time and effort in to making a video and then people were slating me for riding a bike that I feel comfortable on (regardless or size) then I'd be pretty upset and it's posts like these that put me off bothering to post a video of my own riding on here. He looks like he's in proportion with the bike anyhow.

If you had explained it in a more exciting way then I would have been interested. Instead of: I might run a show in the south or sumthing, fancy coming?

AMAAAAZING!!! I retract my statement.

Worst Topic ever!!!

Personally, I would prefer to have a disc on the front as it gives you a bit more modulation and has slightly less of an "on / off" feel. To be fair though I think it is down to personal preference, you need to try them both and see which one best suits your riding style, what might work for one person will not for another.

I find that a great way to take grips off without using lube is to undo the brake lever so that it is loose, push it up to the edge of the grip and rotate the lever backwards and forwards about a quarter rotation whilst pulling against the grip towards the end of the bars. Keep wiggling and the grip will come off a treat, never failed me so far

Sorry to be a nauze guys, what are the benefits of having a water bled HS33? I've never had one, as far as I'm aware

Yep, take em back and get some different ones Are they brand new?

I agree, Can you explain why you have chose these two setups? and not a Hope Mono Trial for example, are these the 2 brakes which you can chose from to use on your bike? Cheers
