Jason Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 My back brake (raceline magura, on my t-pro [05]) doesnt seem to reach the rim. Its just an old onza rim, and I'm thinking of buying a wider one. But I'm also thinking about getting a new back brake instead, because this one seems nackerd, its just had a fresh bleed with my lbs, but doesn't seem to go out very far even with the tpa up full any suggestions?

Matthews Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 New pads? Try pushing them in as far a possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deonn h Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 They might not have bled it right.Did the wind the tpa towards - before bleeding it.That could be the problem.How far do the pads come out ? go and mesure .ThanksDeonn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobnobs Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 The pads on all maguras dont move much, otherwise they wouldnt have any power. Less movement = more power.Anyway, thicker pads or a wider rim is the answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deonn h Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 (edited) yea they said they did. the pads come out like 9mm On each side?Its probebly that you will need a wider rim then if the pads are as close in as they will go.

philking Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 Why dont you just move the cylinders in? Do you know how to set up breaks properly? If they are moving 9mm thats fine.... they should be set up so they are around 2mm from the rim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
