Luke Rainbird Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 the gap from the wheel to the break pad hit and stop the bike I think I need to get them closer to the wheel 1. Sort your bloody writing out. 2. Make sure the wheel is true. 3. Move the pads closer. 4. Done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezmtber Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 Tensile offset magura mounts will get the brake calipers closer to the wheel rim. Or try adjusting the calipers on the 4 bolt mounts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bike_dummie Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 Sadly they don't wish they did though. How come? Genuinely interested as I've always wondered why it says it wont work but in my head it would? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 (edited) Basically the slave collides with the sides of the mount so it won't go in any further. Tarty do a pic to show you, where the hose goes in at the top thats where it collides mate! So essentially you get the same amount as inward clamping as any other mount.

BradJohnson Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Wider Brake pad? Cousts are 10mm Finally, someone talking sense Seriously though, you may want to do a fresh bleed, there could be an air bubble in the system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george5353 Posted July 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 thanks for all you help people and do any of you tell me the name of some Cousts pads that are 10mm ? thanks george Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Having brake pads with more meat on them will only sort the issue temporarily. The pads you have on there have loads of life left at the mo, so if they're not hitting the rim enough then you'll only be able to wear new pads down to the same level before they become useless. A wider rim would be a far better bet and you'd be able to run a set of pads for more than a third of their expected life... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
