AdamR28 Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 Haha, ok ok Paul: that's true, but if someone can't set up Maguras well enough to make them work then I'm not sure they have the skills to make some adaptors... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CurtisRider Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 Paul: that's true, but if someone can't set up Maguras well enough to make them work then I'm not sure they have the skills to make some adaptors...Spastics should learn then, its hardly rocket science! If they cant do it themselves then ask another rider for help, sorted.By that i mean setting up of course, i know not everybody has access to the correct tools to make adaptors themselves.

cai Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 As long as you work on it every 5 minutes Ermm... no!I seriously have to turn that lttle knob (to get the right lever feel) about once every week - not every 5 minites. Then about every month I set up my pads again, and pull the cable through a little bit. I just loves my vee they're so reliable.My BB7 on the other hand, I'm always adjusting that every couple of minites - turning the outside knob, because I think the cable is stretching? Doesn't happen with my vee though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 cables dont stretch like that.it will be the red dial working its way undone, a small blob of blue tack under the dial fixes it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love how you can spend a load of money on bits for bikes, and you'll usually need to bodge them with some cheap little bits 'n' bobs.

I love how you can spend a load of money on bits for bikes, and you'll usually need to bodge them with some cheap little bits 'n' bobs.OR, do things properly. Strip the caliper and apply the correct threadlock to the adjuster thread. There's always a proper way to fix things, just most trials riders are either too poor or ill equipped to do so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Clayton Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 Set them up right clean the pads now and again,bleed every so often.clean your rim fresh grind now and again if you run grind.aye tis a doddle. ROSSCO. X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey vajda Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 Yeah definitely use water to bleed them, use the wiki, I did worked magic. Spend some time with them, and don't be a lazy ass or you'll end up on your ass. Basically learn the 'art or grinding' with an angle grinder and a bath bleed with water, then your set for life.

imhereithink Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 for a while i wasnt too impressed with my maggie on the rear. But then again it was close to two years since my last bleed so i tried the water bleed in a bath, it was soo easy even my girlfriend could do it (which she did at one point ) set up the brake, took some time in aligning the pads, and wow what a brake, now i remember why i love it so much.Basically take some time to adjust it and give it a proper bleed, and you will love it again!
