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

Morning guys, I live in Bristol but won't be coming out for this ride. I haven't rode for 4 or 5 years now as I moved away from town and couldn't really ride my bike anywhere but have been building a bike over the last couple of months ready for the summer. My bike is nearly completed and I'm just waiting for the front disc rotor. Basically please keep me in mind next time your in Bristol as most of the guys I used to ride with don't any more . I live in town so if it's cool, let us know when/if your down next time and I'll come and meet up with you? Cheers Riley

I used HS11's a few years ago and once set up properly they do the job ok to be fair. Make sure they the brake pads hit the rim square on and not from an angle, and have the brake pads fairly close in and the pad adjustment on the lever (which if I remeber is an allen key bolt under the lever near the master cylinder?) is at a low setting, (hope that makes sence). Also , if your running a HS11, I'm guessing they are on a 2 bolt frame/fork? If so (and your not running a booster) then the frame will flex a good un as a 2 bolt frame will not have a built in booster, frames / forks with a specific 4 bolt attachement for Magura's normally allways have some type of reinforcing to stop the power of the piston pushing the frame / forks out when they hit the rim. Hope this helps.

Unfortunately, I think that it is too late as you have tried to repair the frame which will probably instantly void the warranty.

It sure does, just make sure you dont grind through the rim

This is the link but only shows a picture of the 8 speed version so probably not much help http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-ROAD-BIKE-CASSETTE-6-Speed-21T-13T-Shimano-HG70-/200464515253?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_sportsleisure_cycling_bikeparts_SR&hash=item2eac9dc0b5 I did call the chap and he's not sure what spacing it has but did say that it is all one block.

Just ordered it today so haven't actually recieved it yet, sorry for being a it vague. I'll try to find that out as well.

I'm not sure actually, never ran a 6 speed before. It's a HG70 if that helps? If not I'll try and find out what the spacing is and get back to you. Cheers

I'm building a new stock for the summer and have a Hope Pro 2 Trials on the rear. I've decided to run a 6 speed cassette as it's a bit of a trek to get anywhere from my house so the extra couple of lower gears will really help. My question is can anyone recommend a decent chain that can be used with 6 speed cassette? Had a quick look on Tarty and none seem compatible Cheers

Cool, Thanks for all your advice guys. Whilst we are on the suibject, if anyone has a front disc brake for sell, I'm after one Cheers
