  1. just have a look on ebay and see whats on there, has shane got any old levers or anything ? what are you slaves like ? if there broke aswell i have some spare, and a back hose. give me a buzz if you want them :P

    chris

    no shane aint and cheers for the offer but i just got a new hose just before i broke the lever lol

  2. What exactly is wrong with it?

    Strange...pretty much everyone else has the opposite opinion to you :S what's wrong with your maguras?

    why do you hate maggies?? and ive heard that echo tr brakes have very brittle cables and braek alot?? is that true??

    Never heard about the cables being "brittle" although they are a pain in the arse to fit connections too from what I've heard.

    They have a kind of kevlar lining I think with a plastic inner, supposedly making them significantly stronger than standard Magura plastic lines.

    What you say about the cleaning out is definitely true, a lot of the early Denguras ( not sure if its the same with the new ones ) had problems with swarf not being removed from the barrel. When used this caused scoring inside and thus leaks.

    Ye, cheaper on here though once you're validated :) You'll probably only have to buy a couple of bits to get yours going again anyway.

  3. i hate magura brakes :) But, i have it on my Inspired Fourplay :( On my 20" echo i have Echo brakes TR and i am with her satisfied :)

  4. It really just depends on how much you are willing to spend. Maggies are cheaper than hope disks but this doesnt make the quality any better. maggie rims are just as sharp although they do make alot of noise if you tar the rim for their best ability.

    I would go for Maggies because they are cheaper, just as good and i personally think they look alot better.

  5. I would definatly go for hydraulic rim brakes. there look neater, work better and dont break as much. when you have a disk brake, if you are on a bench and you slip off and your disk hits it, it can brake the whole brake. also rim brakes dont slip as much.

  6. hey i dont really have this problem because i live in a small town where there is only 2 of us that ride there anyway. We have the freedom to ride on what we want because it is not a crowned place anyway so we do not obstruct anyone.

    If the police do confront you. just apologise and move on dont make a scene.

  7. doe's anyone know where to get cheap magura brakes. My maggie back brake broke when i was bleeding it and i have been riding without it for about 4 months!! i really need one for cheap as im skint at the moment.

    Can anyone help??
