Mark W Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 Different lever (theoretically better) and vastly improved 2-bolt mounts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTTETom Posted January 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 Different lever (theoretically better) and vastly improved 2-bolt mounts. ← Im going to be running 4 bolt mounts anyway. Do you reckon its worth the extra cash?? Whats this new lever like?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Garland Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 I was skeptical about getting the 2005 mag but when I put it and and used it I was very impressed. My mate who has sworn by his Tomacs has thought about buying a pair. Go for it you'll love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomN Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 Some people don't like the feel of it but some do, I personally like it feels very nice maybe even better with water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tartridge Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 The new 2 bolt mounts are horrendous! Google it Craig. (magura.com) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Williams! Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 aye the 2 bolt mounts seem weird, bougght on the other day an used the 2 bolt mounts on me front maggie! the booster is a real smart idea puttin it on the back so that you dont have the problem of it slipping off or having to use a washer to keep it on the only problem is its too thin to even begin to stop the flex. the maggie themselves are much better, at first my finger kept slipping off which was gay but now i love the feel of the lever an after adjusting the lever position my finger stays put :S for some strange reason my brake feels much more powerful an thats with just maggie oil (remebers waynihoe being mad scientist with huge seringe :blink: ) so i would deffo buy them feel so much better plus youknow the TPA wont break :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Drewery Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 Quite a lot has changed with them, just about everything except the calipers. The lever is a nice new design, with a TPA that might actually work rather than snapping as soon as you turn it :S and the booster means that there are no elbows to fit on the back of the mounts, and there are only two mounting points for the brackets, all the adjustment is in the calipers now. However, the new booster plate is a bit over the top for trials. Id rather spend more time setting it up normally than use that unescessary bracket. basically, the only bit theyve IMPROVED in my eyes is the lever.
