Echo-Scott Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Tensile offset mounts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 You have two options.Use maggy slaves, they are longer I believe.Use Tensile Offset mounts, turn them so the slave is closer in.Oh, also get new pads with full material.

Ladd Posted January 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Tensile offset mounts?Yeh was thinking of them but someone said they were pretty shit with deng callipers and they snap easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basher Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 course it will fit people used them fine throughout 05 and years before when uber wide rims wernt kicking about. And if someone says well denguras werntround then and they have smaller calipers well i used that rim and didnt have to have calipers anywhere near all ways in with a magura.If your pads are pritty worn then might be time to replace them as you would get this problem with most set ups if your pads are worn alot. Also try getting tensile offset mounts. And give you brake a fresh bleed so that you can use you tpa to get any extra adjustment if needed. You should b ok though with offset mounts and pads with a nice amount of material on them for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echo-Scott Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 From my experience with them they have been fine but I don't know anyone using them with deng calipers so I'm not sure if they will snap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Echo-Scott Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Ok are the deng calipers diamater the same as maggie ones?If they arn't the same I'm guessing that they will be pretty similar sizes. Not positive on this though as I haven't even touched a deng brake ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cai Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Yeh was thinking of them but someone said they were pretty shit with deng callipers and they snap easy I've got the tensile offsets front and back, been riding 9 months and (i no this is going to jinx them) they haven't snapped,and theres no loss in clamping power (due to them being the shape that they are, i always imagined there would of been)If they mean you can run your desired rim, you should definatly buy a pair.

Mark W Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 Just for anyone's future reference, you can slightly over-fill Maguras when you bleed them, so the pistons don't sit right the way back in the system. I've had to do that before, and it worked fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
