Si whitby Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 Hi guys I've got a problem with leaking on my Ti maggie fittings. Firstly does anyone suffer from a similar problem. I have to Rebleed my brakes before I go on every ride. It seems as if the bore is too small to compress the olive onto the hose. I've tried using the old fitting to crimp the olives at one end then slid the new one on. But you can only do this on one end meaning that the end fitted just the Ti part is the leaking point. Cheers for any help. (Bet Craig has in idea) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake. Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 (edited) A mate had a similar problem on a ride last night... We were going to try tighten the bolt into the slave a bit more, unless anyone comes up with a different idea? Joe that sounds like what happened, might just need a new olive.

narrowbars Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 I use PTFE tape on the threads of mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harmertrials Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 My leak appears to be coming from the inside of the shroud, not the threads. I'll report back once I've had a closer look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
