Tamness™ Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 My mate recently broke my TPA on my '04 magura. 1) Is there any way to fix it? 2) If not, where can I get a new one or do I have to buy a new lever? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

esfrost Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 You can replace it with some kind of screw. I did it to mine... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben John-Hynes Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 sorry to invade your topic but,when i'm at that stage,all the bolt does is spin the thing that it's screwed intom i being a total spaz here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom_ Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 (edited) yes. The whole point is to spin the thing its screwed into.... thats all the plastic thingy does anyways.EDIT: I think, I may however be a retard.

Tamness™ Posted February 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 I've hit the problem of not being able to remove the grey bit from inside the glod/brass coloured bit the red knob used to sit on. The way my mate has snapped it, there is nothing to grip onto to take it out. Is there anyway to remove it or is it nackered? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Harrison Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 Extra tip: cut down the bolt to a sensible length to avoid looking like a complete spastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZeroMatt Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 (edited) There is a much nicer way of doing it so the bolt stays inside and doesn't look any different from a normal TPA, looking for it on the wiki pages.Edit: Right found it but is for using a bolt going through the whole lever blade as a TPA.This pic shows the nicer way to do it.First you must remove the all the lever inards, keeping the old TPA bolt to take reference from. Next get an allen key head M5 bolt that is relatively short and cut a groove in the head similar to that on the old TPA bolt so that it fits snuggly over the grey plate type bit.And there you are, a nice new TPA bolt that can just be put back in and the lever put back together. Depending on the length of the bolt it can now be adjust much more than before. Edited February 2, 2008 by ZeroMatt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
