trialsquirt Posted April 2, 2015 Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 Hi, does cutting away some of the body actually make it stronger or prevent it snapping/cracking? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dngr2self Posted April 2, 2015 Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 They are prone to cracking in the same place quite often so people choose to modify them. Its hard to describe without pictures but you may be able to to find some with a quick search. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CC12345678910 Posted April 2, 2015 Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/topic/176773-how-to-modify-a-05-magura-hs33-lever-body/#entry2439065 Did you look at that ^ yet?? Basically use a racing line master for reference. Simply dont leave any sharp edges, radius off all cuts and corners, and do not leave any 90degree angles as thats why 05 masters crack in the 1st place, and it will cause it to crack again if you do. If the crack has already spread you can do it squarer like the clean brake to file away the crack, but take away as little material as possible to eliminate the end of the crack, because the master will snap off about 2-3mm above the pivot bolt if you do.
