fruitbat Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 They feel good but personally i'd say stick with the standard maggie levers. Im sure they had a few problems with the seals in the RB ones, correct me if i'm wrong thoughFrooty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

011001000110010101110010 Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 Advantages:Good lever feel and extra powerDisadvantages:They WILL leak, needing to be topped up every month or so.The solution, get someone to machine down the lever blade so it will fit in a 04 body. Giving you the extra power and good lever feel without the leaking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott-mad Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 (edited) i bought an rb lever and sure enough within a couple of days it started to leak. i took it apart and it looked like shite and grit got behind the first seal then scratcted the pistion bore thus letting the fluid leak out. so in the end i took out the lever blade and a file and put the lever blade in my maggy 04 lever body. ill try find a pic for y'all Edited March 6, 2006 by scott-mad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott-mad Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 no it wont fit into an 05 body sadly enough! i used stuff called nitromors bought it from tesco, they sell it anywhere like b and q etc just brush it on then wash it off!

Danny.g Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 Why pay 60 odd quid for a lever that leaks within a month or so pretty much waste of money if you ask me.Whats wrong with the 04/05 standard levers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
