N Roach Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 (edited) Hi,Have heard a few bad things about the way that braided hosing works on a magura. If I were to have a water bleed and use braided hosing, would I feel any differnce to normal magura hosing?Nathan Edited December 14, 2007 by Koxx_Nath.C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Hundley Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 yes, with braided HOSING the diameter is smaller inside.. (if you know what i mean?)so its harder to push water through, making it feel a bit hard to pull and no returning as quickworks well though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Garland Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 For all of you with pussy fingers who cannot pull a lever it might feel like oil, for those of us who are not panzies, it feels the same.Mine has been on an HS33 and a Dengura and feels fine, none of those slow retraction and its rock solid. Also it is insanely hard to snag, my bike has been dangling by the hosing before and its fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pashley26 Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 I baught a set of Louise's with genuine Magura braided hose, and the hose wasn't plastic coated and it cut through the downtube of my orange and i had to buy a new front frame !!!!Might have just been mine, anyone else got GENUINE magura braided hoses ?So don't get the Magura hoses, get the Goodies' !Jarrod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RossMcd Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 they sort of take a while to bed in but once they have they are just the same but i find i have to rebleed every 2 months on so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeM Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 Lol, mines just started leaking which is very annoying since i just bought it the other day.. Going to be taking it back. I think it's best just to stick to normal hosing..Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
