Olly Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 I've just put it on and so far disappointed. Does it take a while to bed in?Also fitted some Trial Tech bars which so far feel great But I somehow snapped the clip that holds my rear magura to the bars Just about hanging on but is there a way to fix it?Olly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave! Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 But I somehow snapped the clip that holds my rear magura to the bars Just about hanging on but is there a way to fix it?It will hold for a little while but it will be very weak and eventually you will need to replace it. My friend tried super glue once, but it snapped again soon after. The 2005 levers are crap for that reason, just remember not to over-tighten them.

Muel Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 It will take a while, they take longer than any other brake I've had anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Scarlet Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 Anyone got a good time scale of how long it takes to bed a disc in, I'm getting anxious with my rear one.I could have sworn my front one was a couple of hours riding, but with this new one I've had 2 good days of riding (must have been at leasst 8 hours so far), but its not even got better let alone bed in.

matt_urban Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 best thing to bed in a brake is to get it wet and drag it for a while then wet it again keep doing this a few times and maybe put some mud on the rotor works as a grinding paste to help bed the disc and pads in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
