watto Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 Right just wanting to get my bike feeling nice and just thought about trying a new/different lever blade, so are there any adavantages over each other? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt B Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 You meen just bying a leaver blade or an RB leaver or just between standerd magura leaver and RB leaver??RB leavers look nice but to me feel a bit plasticy if you get me. It could have been the set up it was on but it dissapointed me Have yet to try the new leaver blades for magura leavers are they any good???Regards Mat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Token Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 I'd get a fresh lever for the price, if only i got a reply from either of the two emails anyone know if arrons busy? or any other way to get hold of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walleee Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 I have a full RB crabon lever as opposed to the lever blade in a standard body alot of people have.I have it set up with a real fresh bleed of nice clean magura oil, and coust pads in cnc backing's with no booster, I put a fresh grind on my rimm a day or two ago and rode today and it's now literally the best brake I could hope to have. With a fresh grind on the front rim the heatsink blue's are also performing really well, but they are terribly noisey to the point where I walk down hills if anyone else is about.. Anyway before I get too off topic the rear brake is absoutley fantastic, I think the cylinder's on the RB's are quite problematic, I think I got one of the good one's. I'd omagine it was something else in the set-up that led to the spongeyess, perhaps the lever might have made the feeling more apparent..

Todge Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 I'd get a fresh lever for the price, if only i got a reply from either of the two emails anyone know if arrons busy? or any other way to get hold of him.Hmmmm, just been on an email hunt and not found any yet, drop me a pm.JT is probably the man to ask about the FP Levers, as he was one of the first to recieve one, so has been using it the longest.The FP Lever is a little thicker then the RB, the finger area is more curved (RB is a bit flatter), FP feels lighter on the lever itself (due to more material being taken out from behind the finger area) and its made specifically to fit in a magura body.The TPA is also nicer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watto Posted August 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 Cheers for that, probably will go for the fp blade, unless i can get a rb cheap, might have to enquire with dan foster about that. Many Thanks to all you were a great help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonCongreve Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 I've tried each lever blade on different bikes, and i must say that the FP lever blade feels alot nicer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walleee Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 Like I said, RB's ahve a tendency to f**k up, so that's probobly why it felt sponget, when they work right, they work great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
