jnthebiker Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 Hey guys, second question in the last couple of minutes. I've been using magura slaves in Neon Wing brake clamps, and they will NOT stop slipping! Anybody have a way of keeping them in place? Also, what length bolts would I need to use them with an echo four bolt booster? Thanks, Johannes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 Taking everything apart and giving it a really good clean, then greasing the shit out of your bolts and reinstalling everything is usually the best way. Are the frame/clamps/brakes old or are they a mix of new and old parts? M5x40 should do you for the bolts too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aliao Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 I had those clamps with Magura slaves on my Crewkerz with no slipping problems. Like Mark said, make sure everything is squeeky clean and make sure you grease the bolts and the frame properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't m5x40 bolts bottom out because of the shorter mounts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 Usually you'd use M5x45 with most booster setups, but drop down to M5x40 with washerless clamps. The overall clamp thickness of the Neon ones should be pretty similar - if they end up bottoming out you can always a thin spacer under the bolt head (or between the main spacer and booster itself). I'd rather bottom out and work out rather than have bolts that are too short and risk stripping threads that way. If it's all fairly fresh stuff then just cleaning everything and greasing the bolts up should help out a lot. If the bolts are fairly dry going in they'll bind up and feel tighter before they really are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossBurnside Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 My slaves used to slip in echo clamps i had - I just roughed up the slaves with a bit of sand paper and it seemed to work. Good luck my dude x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck my dude x If that's the case, you could use some of that paste to mount carbon bars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
