LauraPalmer Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 water bleed works good - just one thing - the brake will not last as long as if the pistons oil themselves! they will quit work after about a year... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixie Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 I think they do work, cause a lot of people use them.but there is one down-fall, they duff up the seals but that happens if you do it all the time.And next time use the search!

Simpson Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 water bleed works good - just one thing - the brake will not last as long as if the pistons oil themselves! they will quit work after about a year...but there is one down-fall, they duff up the seals but that happens if you do it all the time.They... are both folk lore... / shit.... people are still running maggies with water bleeds over 3 years old... it really doesnt damage the brake at all... its just that the viscosity of the water is a lot better for trials as it gives, sharper quick on/off braking feel great for trials... shit for something like downhill where you dont want the brake to be on or off... you may just want to slow down... kinda thing.... so yea do it... the only downside is you get oil everywhere and that it voids the magura warrantee..... (of course unless you re bleed the brake with oil before your send it back ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jandamna Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 Its stated in the rules to use the search before you make a topic.I know i'am a new member and all, but just give the guy a break, the first person who posted a reply already told him to use the search, having a go at someone and "stating the rules" wont get you validated...Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeEden Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 You should have faster pad movement and not so much of a slugish pull than magura'a bled with fluid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
