  1. So I got evrything out from the lever, the only things in there where a plastic piece with some seals and rubber things on one side. Am i going to sand the rubber thing? BTW it fell out a fether to... It's my first time ever....
  2. Ok thanks mate! A quick question, do you know if you could use vaseline on the slaves?
  3. YOO again... So I have a 2011 magura, with a swollen piston since it's waterbled. I Wan't to know how to remove the piston on this lever, I have already remowed the the lever itself from wires etc. when I pulled the lever without any wires attached to it, It came out a blue bubbly thick liquid... Is this normal to? Any help would be appreciated!

    Samething here, black lines all over it. Seemed like a cool game otherwise..
  5. Ok thanks again mate. Ordered the thread repair kit you recommended to btw
  6. OK thanks, but would coppergrease work?
  7. HIII! So I hate my bike again.. I "fixed my rear brake.. re-bled it with water and wd-40 the piston, it worked fine. I Got out for a ride, and after about 15 mins the brake got worse and worse. I continued riding for about a hour more, and the last 15 mins of that riding the brake was slow as a turle. Really really slow! Is it still the pitsons or is it something else?
  8. No problem mate, just glad to help. Yeah the second bike was very good for that price. But as one other here on said, I would stay away from the lower-end onza bikes. I have a onza pro and it breaks all the time! But the frame has a nice geometry though If you can go for a echo they have really good quality bikes. Hahah William
  9. Thanks for suggestion, but my thread repir kit is already on the way. Haha yupp, they are a real pain in the arse to maintain, especially on entry-level bikes like mine. But I will do a complete re-build of my bike. So I hope I can ride for atleast 1 hour before something breaks again, haha
  10. Just saw this one.. this guy is just trolling or just a retard...
  11. Hi mate glad you are intrested in trials! There's no reason why you can't have a 20" bike and are really tall. However the 26" might feel abit better for you since you have already ridden 26" bikes. have a look at this link. http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/media/guides/product_guide_20_inch_vs_24_inch_vs_26_inch_wheels/m8.html And the first bike you linked aren't very good... The bike is heavy with some cheap parts. The second bike looks much better with Magura hs33 hydralic rim brake, a good set of pads and the brake is awesome! I would also say, have a look at this link. Lets get to the maintenance, A trials bike uses different parts, for an example the freewheel (placed on the rear wheel, and does so you can hold the pedal still while the bike is rolling... sorry couldn't explain it better :$) the freewheel is placed on the crank arm, and a fixed cog is screwed onto the rear wheel. Many bikes also uses chain tugs or snailcams to keep the chain tight. The maguras (brakes) shouldn't need a bleed. This is my favourite: almost every rider grinds their rim with an angle grinder to roughen up the surface on the rim. This makes the brake really good if you have some decent pads, and also make a cool sound that you might have heard How-to link for rim grinding. http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/media/guides/maintenance_rim_grinding/m2.html Hope this helps!
  12. Yeah My magura has always had one slower piston from stock...
  13. I KNEW someone would mention this, haha But yeah I know this is available to buy but I don't really think it's worth it anyway
  14. AH now i know thanks for the explanation But didn't you run phatfluid? YEah it really sucks! where out riding and suddenly when hopping from a rock to another the backwheel locked....
  15. YOOOO! So I re-bled my 2011 magura hs33 with water and put some oil on the slaves and woila it's working perfect again. Strange... What could be the problem? Thanks everyone!
  16. Hi mate, I would reccomend the sony, since it's more a camera you can shoot yourself with easier. The go-pro 2 has no screen so you can't see where you're filming. The sony also has better quality. But I would recommend you to save some more money and buy a 550D, it's such a good camera with superb quality! hope this helps! BTW are you from Sweden?
  17. yeah they might be, but I don't know... I don't like discs on the rear... I love the "bite" from magura, only is a pain in the arse to maintain it... But yeah im going to buy new cranks and BB, and a ISIS BB is on the buying list Not funny. I have the rights to be angry just like everyone else.
  18. Thanks mate, really appreciate it! :)
  19. Will try that one mate Can't sell it because the cranks are worn so they come loose every ride, the pedals are beat to shi*, the front disc aren't working properly, the magura aren't working good, one 4-bolt hole is stripped of threads. So yeah good luck selling this.... And my onza were dual disc when I bought it, and I had more problems with dual disc so NO problem aren't solved. AT ALL!
  20. yeah I know, but I only have problems with my bike all the time which makes me frustrated. Will try that. And if this doesn't work, how do I get the piston out of the lever? Thanks mate for you're ansver! I am careful and do not maintain my bike bad. And it's not like i've built my bike with a hammer. But yeah you have a point and I get it Yeah that might be a good idea. I have been checking it after evry ride though.. Hahaha dream on
  21. YOOO! I'm seriously really pissed off now! Everytime I fix something on my bike, something else fu*kes up. Im serious. This time I fixed my rear wheel, bought new tyre and tube and it worked. Got out for a ride, and stripped the magura threads, and the Magura is now slow as a turtle to return... And YES it is waterbled and have been for 1 week, I haven't ridden it waterbled for more than 3 hours. But why is it soooooo slow to return? Thread repair kit is on the way here, but I wan't help with my fu**ing magura. If my bike keeps break in this tempo (I have owned the bike since november and the bike has been working for about 2 months, the rest of the time it has been broken and un-ride able) I'm seriously going to quit trial. Hope that someone can help me with my MAGURA ISSUE. BTW the bike is a 2011 onza pro. (2010 model) EDIT:
  22. do you mean side to side, or downwards? In my case I mean downwards (vertical). Thanks cap, will check that out
