sir trial a lot Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 I prefer the 2004 ones but others like 2005 ones. Its just opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 Personally I prefer the 04 levers as the construction makes it a lot strong than the 05 and it just seems more comfortable to me. One of my mates snapped his 05 lever in half and another had a nice crack in his, both who have now got the 04 magura’s. Wolfie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David20 Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 I prefer the 05 for some reason but i don't know why but I do like the 04's.There's just something about the 05's I really like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stock trials the real sport Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 well i need to get the 05's cos the 04 odnt take big tyres the 05 ones take up to 2.5 inch tyres Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir trial a lot Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 well i need to get the 05's cos the 04 odnt take big tyres the 05 ones take up to 2.5 inch tyres im running a 04 one and a 2.5" tyre. and if there was a problem it's just because your cross over is to short in which case just get a longer cross over hose and rebleed your brake.

ogre Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 I use the 05 ones, (they came with the bike) pluss if you are buying them now (or for crimbo) you should get a warranty, i'm not sure (so dont get all high and mighty if i'm wrong ) but i think if you buy the 04 ones you might not get trhe 5 yr warranty (i think that is important, or at least if you are on a low budget)!

huge Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 The 05 levers are more comfortable to use, BUT ive seen one snapped and one badly cracked. i have never had any snapping/cracking problems with the older type. the 05s seem to be made of a slightly thinner material Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali C Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 I seriously CANT STAND the feel of the 05 ones, I would rather hold on to brocken glass than use on of those levers as standard.Also the 05 ones are weak, seriously weak, you can snap them in half just by pulling them (ask Iolo)Also I think the 04 ones generate more power (longer lever blade perhaps?) again ask Iolo, after he pulled his 05 lever in half he put his old 04 lever on and he was blown away with the extra power he had.

Deonn h Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 Personally i think the 04 levers are better than the 05 ones .The 04 ones are a lot more comfertable than the 05 ones and they are a lot stronger. .ThanksDeonn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaRtZ Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 I prefer 04's but that's cos im used to them. I think the design is funky but meh 04's work fine so ive got no reason to replace them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smurftrial Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 I ike the 04's best as they are just as good as the 05's but now they are cheaper!!!!!.........................Smurf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoo p Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 i prefer the 04, they feel and look much more robust, the lever blade feels nicer in my opinion, the tpa is easier to fix when it breaks as both 04 and 05 seem to do. so overall 04 on appearance and strength, as both seem to have the same power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smurftrial Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 This is all sounding good as im gettin a pair 04 ones for christmas to replace my shitty tekro 'v' brakes................Smurf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
