chris_trials Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 I currently run the 2011 HS33's front and rear with the 4-finger levers. What I've been pondering is whether I should stick with the 4-finger levers and wait till the come back in stock at tartybikes or should I go for the 2-finger levers. Is there a noticeable difference in power between the two lengths or are they fairly similar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

williams Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Get 4 finger levers. Made my brake go from good, to sick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny00135 Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 just get four finger, will be considerably more leverage. leverage = power. Dependent on frame this is. If the frame is quite flexy then more power can be a bad thing. But 4 finger will give you more power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But 4 finger will give you more power then get a booster if its too flexy, more leverage is always more power. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben_travis Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 any maggie I have ever used with a 4-finger lever feels disgusting. 2 fingers all the way 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FamilyBiker Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 (edited) most maggies have big bleed holes so they need 4 fingers. (A) nah,to stay serious,i think its personal preference like soft or hard shoe soles... i had the 4 finger blades on for years now,always made the frame flex a lil bit more,but 2finger blades had just a too hard feeling.

WIGAN ?? Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 ive been running a 2 finger for years and put a 4 finger on yesterday the brake has miles more hold and power but it has made it feel pretty spongey due to frame flex, gonna put a booster on and see how it feels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEON Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 On a 2011 Magura, a 4 finger lever will give you levels of sponge & flex that the 2 finger just can't match. They're crap brakes, sorry, but I found the 2 finger levers the lesser of two turds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
