Connor Posted May 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2005 Damn them levers are sexy, as are the hubs are they any good. :P :- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCOTTY___ Posted May 5, 2005 Report Share Posted May 5, 2005 The Levers have really bad seals that ALWAYS leak. You can use the Lever 'Blade' in a standard Magura HS33 2004 body though, it just needs some filing down. Also i think the hubs arnt to decent, as a friend had a pair and broke loads, but they could have redesigned them for all I know.

steve sturt Posted May 5, 2005 Report Share Posted May 5, 2005 Its a Really Big lever like they used to use on railway junction boxes. Its also an aftermarket magura HS33 lever made by (i think) an Eastern European company, designed for trials, with a smaller piston for more power and better modulation, using carbon fibre and metal.

It could also mean Red and Black as the lever is red and black, or rubbish bicycle. I dont actually know, just making a humored guess.

Wayne-king Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 as far as i know, there is a new RB lever out now. NSE are no longer selling the old levers, in order to make way for the new one. there was actually one at the bikeshow (but i think i must have been the only person that spotted it!
