random Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 Okay so i hopefully will be getting some fatty R's soon. Now do i take the please of grinding away the brake mount these being the rm oens so there disc only?? I don't need a front v, mag as i run disc so no probs there. Also they are gonan need ether a re-spray or to be highly polished. Now my frame a Coust Mk1 is in a battle ship light grey, looks like primer but it aint. So what you think gloss black forks or highly polished if it can be done?? Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Harrison Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 Paint the forks to match. Leave the brake bosses, just remove the steel inserts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMonkey Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 If you don't mind me asking how does the rear maggy run without a booster? Does it still brake like normal or does it feel a bit different? And definetely the same colour of the bike (N) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
random Posted October 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 Not too bad. It does flex but cos of the uber power of the leaver. I do have an XTR booster that Prawn drileld to 4 bolt for me. Jansin said his is fine with no booster but beings i have a 10mm piston with 70mm of pistion movement i get loads of flex. you think they grey....umm gloss black or highly poished till i get dropout done for my carbons then it'll be Coust looking... Hoping Michel gets back to me withthe stickers asap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

random Posted October 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 pete are you runnning a disk lever on your rear maggie? if so please tell me how because that looks soo damn kool Ben Hi Ben, no problems. Has to be a Hope Sport C2 leaver. C2 is just the top cap part, if you got an O2 Sport get a new top cap and it'll work on you maggy's. Has a 10mm piston with 70mm of pistion movement and the C2 caps is the tpa. You can use all std fittings and you need to have a barber fititng for the leaver a sto the olive and sleave nut. It's a must you have athe leaver totaly stripped and cleaned and new seals fitted if you to run it on mags so it's DOT 4 or 5.1 free. Mine was brand new lucky me. You also need to have a small rubber o-ring on the barber fititng at the leaver as it will leak ever blood were. Also got to be done up tight... To bleed you bleed up form the slaves as normal but you bleed it all throught then fit the C2 cap leaving the syringe to do it's thing. You got to fil lthe system air free of corse and let it over flow on the leaver. As you fit the top cap it should push the sysringe back a bit..thus is good. So wind the cap on and tigthen up not adjst sliver dial. Then you just push back on the syring a bit and make sure both slaves are full retratced. Undo syringe and fit bolt jobs done, wind on C2 cap till slaves move slightly and job done. It's very powerfull, more than RB mate I'm gonna be selling mine i think as i have an RB and hopeful and 05 monty rear brake coming, spilter the works, yay! Oh RRP is £60 on them leavers and no longer made Aby more info pic etc msn me dude pjalchemist@aol.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
