Ah right it's running on magura oil is it. Try re-bleeding your brake with water, because i personally find it better than magura oil. Then set your brake up fairly close to the rim and adjust your TPA back in so the pads are now close to your rim. Then test your brake and if its still slipping, There could be magura oil on your pads or your grind is not very good, Not to sure though you would have to give it a go and then reply back.

"jay jay". Take it halfords for them to do what?. We have not even sorted out what the problem is yet. Plus there is no need for halfords do it yourself i do.

Right,
How old is the magura ?. Because if it's fairly old your master cylinder could be working a bit rough and not functioning properly so that could be affecting your brake.
Also about the new wheel and grind you may have to give time for your brake to bed in and get used to your grind and pads. What is your brake bled with by the way and what kind of hosing are you running.?

Oh good my post was of some help to you. Anyway what brake set-up are you running on the front. Because you mentioned your brake slipping and i presumed it was your front because they always do.
Disc brake or rim brake.?
If it's a rim brake and it is slipping on you.
1- Maybe get a grind on your rim, make it nice and rough.
2- To go with that grind get a nice set of koxx bloxx greens on the front, works a treet.
If you are running a disc and it is slipping on you.
1- There could be some sort of oil or lubricant on your rotor, so this means it will not grip properly.
2- Your brake, if it is hydraullic could do with a re-bleed, because the oil's not running smooth.
3- If it is a cable disc brake then you may of stretched your cable so it does not move the pads correctly.
Thats all i can think of.
Hope i helped !

Hi mate, my favorite move has to be the "switch" (front wheel to backwheel"). The reason is because it makes my riding more of a challenge, instead of the basic pedal kick or backwheel. The switch enables you to make your riding alot more technical and looks alot better than the basic sidehop or backwheel.
When you first start to learn the switch start on about a 1ft high wall and just pedal hop into it and kick on to your front wheel then release your front brake and flick the back end of the bike through. Try and stay on your backwheel it makes the move look sweet. In know time mate you will be switching roadside rails
.Hope this helps mate !

Mitch like i said. I have had a e-mail off selectbikes telling me that they are now making them so that they support front freewheel.

Hi guys. Why should he get a different bottombracket for the front freewheel system, when they have now made the new echo bottom brackets to support front freewheel. Check out selectbikes for more information.
