Scott Norman Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 All i did is put some fabric tape on it... The stuff you use when you strap up broken bones. Thats all i have done and works a treat. If that dose not work then I'm out of ideas.Scott. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkiLLz Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 I get the same problem with HS33's. I wear gloves but when i get off to chill out then decide to jump back on and quickly practice 1 more stunt i don't put my gloves on and my levers let me know about it lol.

Skoze Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 u could always rap som faom round it and then use elcetriac tape:) just a thourght m8Your grasp of basic English amazes me.For the other questions, Julie levers can't be changed (unless it's for another julie lever) 05+ magura lever blades can be changed, for deng's etc...Try the foam idea if you like, or wear some gloves Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forteh Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 Blood blisters as in pinch blisters or do you just mean normal blisters?If you mean normal blisters then you just need to toughen up your fingers If its pinch blisters then you need to look at your lever setup so that it doesnt pinch the skin.Personally I ride with gloves because it saves your palms from gravel if you bin it (nowt worse than gripping bars tight with gravel in your palms ) and they help me grip the bars with sweaty hands. Gloves dont stop callouses from forming and they dont stop blisters until you get callouses (or the callouses get too thick and form blisters underneath them). Ive never suffered from blisters on any of my brake fingers though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive never suffered from blisters on any of my brake fingers though.i have worked a nice callus where the blood blister was now but its starting to effect the side of my finger now. it was a blister the size of a 5p then it filled up with blood lol gloves are OK bit i find it easier to ride without them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kid creole Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 You can change the lever to any other magura lever like a hs33 lever, you have to change to whole lever not just the blade and then you will have to bleed the brake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Dark Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 use the little bit off a gel pen ( the finger rest bit ) and slide that over the end of the blade....works a treat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 I used to get this on my 06 maggys, just grin and bare it and your fingers will toughen up. Don't pop it or it will hurt more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
