Really nice video, thanks a lot. I'll post here if turning the sprocket the other way round works.

Can anyone tell me how do i remove the sprocket and if it need some special tool to do it. Thanks for all the replys.

I'm new to this kind of hubs, please confirm that the sprocket is mounted right. Thanks

I just bought my first trials bike and i noticed that the chain is killing my frame. Everything looks ok, the wheel is centered, the sprocket is aligned with the free wheel but i keeps touching there, and gives that annoying sound when riding. I've tried to tighten the chain at its max but no hope, keeps touching. Is this normal or is anything missing to me? By the way, its an onza ice. Thanks

I'm Hugo, 20 years from Portugal. I've been racing DH for a couple of years, did some dirtjump and street and some trial with my street bike and with my unicycle. Last years i've been supermoto oriented so the bicycle thing was lost a bit, but just bought an Onza Ice to start trials. My current gear is: Intense M3, Kona Stuff, Qu-ax 20" unicycle, Onza ice arriving soon and an Impossible wheel made by Nimbus. Regards.

I got the idea. I think i sayd nothing wrong about it and the conclusion i get is that is all about a ratio between loss and gain. Some think the loss is less than the gain, some don't. At the end it's all about a personal choice. I'll get my first magura set in a few days and it will run oil. Thanks for all reply's.

I'm not getting futher into this topic, i was just trying to say it might not be the best option and i don't know why but magura seems to agree with me. Just to you guys thing about it, go to a car open the radiator cap and look inside, now imagine pistons working on walls like that. (And it uses anti-freeze)

You guys are taking it to the wrong way, i'm not trying to harm anyone here. Each one is free to do what they want to. In my opinion is just like using alcohol fuel instead of gasoline, or cooking oil instead of diesel. I'm happy to hear that magura brakes are that reliable!

I think Heavens said everything: "is like buy bike Trial from $1300, and no use Helmet from $40 =P " I'm sure that it breaks the brake, might be slowly but it surely breaks, even if performance might be the same there are lubricant issues, corrosion and seal issues due to its viscosity and composition. On the topic i linked on the first post, everybody made that procedure feel like it's normal and the right one, i almost believed that it could be OK, just make sure newbies (like me) don't do that kind of thing thinking that's ok. I'll never drop water on a magura, but each one should care about their things the way they want.

Sorry about saying this, but because it works doesn't mean it's good and because others do doesn't mean we should do. I'm into motorcycle racing and i know what is to bleed the brake between rounds because of oil vapor created with oil heating, i couldn't imagine that on water, boiling at 100ºC. Not to talk about the seals and the friction of brake pistons. I'm sorry about all this, but i got really shocked with it.

I'm relieved to know that water is not a "normal" thing, just a cheap (or really expensive) dumb thing to do to a brake. I think that mineral oil should include the normal mineral oil used for example on piston engines or not? On rim brakes oil temperature is not a issue, so engine oil should do the job and preserve warranty.

I knew from before that magura hs brakes should not use dot oil, but water? I saw it here http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=146765&st=0 Until now i've never seen any brake working with water, what about mineral deposits due to water? what about the seals? Although heating might not be a problem, it's sound really weird for me. Maybe its wrong, but i though that they should run on mineral oil. Am I wrong?

I've been trying to contact the sellers but as I don't have access to post on those topics it's being a bit hard. I really appreciate the help you give are giving here, really nice forum to talk on. Thanks for all the help, if you know anymore bike that it's for sale and might not be here on the forum please feel free to tell me.

They might deliver to Portugal but i was looking at a onza pro 2010 with double disc brakes, around 100£ more expensive than this one. What i'm really in to, is to find a double hs33 used for that price, i would like to buy a bike that doesn't need to upgrade anything, just replace what I'll broke. I don't really see the point of now shipping outside UK, since we're in European Union is quite the same thing but a little expensive. Thanks for your reply and attention
