koxxboy14 Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 (edited) Hi all, One of magura mounts has threaded on my forks. It is rideable but it pushes the the maggie right out and stops, so I have to wind the tpa fuly in. Could I put a longer bolt through the mount and put a nut on the other end? only gotta put up with it for three days but the brakes not great Any help would be great Edited June 3, 2011 by koxxboy14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam T Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 If your desperate, put a pen spring in it. Has worked for me and various other mate mid ride. As long as you push the bolt down firmly while tightening then it will last. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
