G-baby158 Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 Hi all, right my magura is not working proply ive tryed everything but still isnt working right, when you pull the lever in it will not rebound back out for ages ( one will fine straight away but the over one take for ever) ive tryed rebleeding it about 4 times (water) the lazy piston think with pump and i dont know what else to do so if anyone knows whats up with my brake and knows how to sort it please tell me. thanks greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben John-Hynes Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 Look in the wiki section for the Lazy piston thing. It's probably just a build up of crap somewhere in the system, sounds like the crossover. Lube it all up, whack it all back together and see what's what.

G-baby158 Posted May 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 ive tryed the lazy piston thing and didnt make any difference and its the one that the main pipe goes into thats taking forever to come back in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben John-Hynes Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 Have you taken the hose off, attatched it to a pump and pumped hard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Anscombe Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 (edited) Take all the hydro lines out of the cylinders and the master cylinder(lever) blow till you cant blow no more......squirt wd40 in them......wack some water in your mouth and push it through the lines to clear away the wd40....attach the lines to the magura and rebleed once thats done....pull lever and squirt a little wd40 on the cylinder (once its all the way out ) JOB DONE. Thats what i always do and its never failed me once . Dave x Edited May 23, 2008 by mrkoxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOBY-E Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 (edited) Have you over tightend the bolt which goes through you lever blade to keep it on? Edited May 23, 2008 by TOBY-E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Concussion Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 Have a mess around with the piston in the lever body. Take it out, see if it's binding anywhere? Mine had the slightest groove down one side which I had to line up with the join mark in the lever body so it went in and out with ease.

brick_top Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 I vote for rebleeding it with Magura Royal Blood! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-baby158 Posted May 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 found out what it is its my lever ! i think it needs a good clean out and wd40 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Concussion Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 Take the piston out again (pain in the ass if it's now stuck = pressure!), and try putting it in the lever body in different positions and see it returns any better just by using your finger to press on it. This happened to me a while back, I had to mess with it for about an hour until I found the right position. Like I said... mine had a really slight groove/depression running down the piston, so I lined it up with the join on the lever body, where the two halves meet and I went from being completely stuck to working great.
