What do you mean topping out? Do you mean that the lever is able to touch the

bars and still not lock the brake?

There is a number of causes for this but the most likely is that the seals are broken, check

around the lever and the slaves for any oil that has leaked out. If this is the case then you will

need to change the offending seal.

Also check the hose for any kinks/ wear e.g. the tyre rubbing on it, this could cause an air leak

meaning a new hose is required. It is possible to bodge this by covering the worn area in Epoxy

but a new hose will be much better.

All bolts etc done up properly?

Check the hose/crossovers for holes and leaks.

Shit bleed?

Also possibly check for cracks on the lever or anywhere, longshot...

i had the same problem with my brake. take your blade off and put some stones or something small into your piston if that doesnt work then get it bled well?

if you have changed the hose at all make sure its proper magura hose because my friend had this problem he used some hose which was too soft so the fluid didn't squash down in the hose and brake didn't work for long, hope this helps, ? will

You may have some air bubbles in the line after bleeding the brake. Check that first.

Also when bleeding did you adjust the TPA all the way in first? That may be a cause.

Have you tryed completley flushing the system of all fluid?

That could be your problem.
