Blair d Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 What lever do you prefer a 04 or 05? I prefer the 04 i think they feel better and i got told they don`t break as easy. Also because i have never had an 05 on my bike so i`m used 2 the 04. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I-LUV-TRIALS Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 04 mate, The TPA brakes on every 05 one i have lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinJI Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 TPA breaks on all maguras, doesn't matter which lever, it'll break. Personally, Either an 04 with the CNC magura lever blades (the more square ones with the little + and - engraved into the top) or an 05 with one of the Deng lever blades.

Dan6061 Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 '04.Just because that's what i've always had, so i'm used to it.The '05's lever blade comes too close to me..But I have big hands, so the reach of the '04 suits me best.

eskimo Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 I recon the Hs11 lever is rather nice. Shame about the mechanics of the rest of the brake though.What about the 'Classic' levers? No tpa there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fvil Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 (edited) used for 3hours ONLY 04 MUCH BETTER Edited December 20, 2006 by ffdevil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame about the mechanics of the rest of the brake though.What about the 'Classic' levers? No tpa there... What?My understanding was that the ONLY differance between hs33's and hs11's was the lever itself. They use the same calipers do they not?

gregg Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 05 because 4 me it feels alot nicer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M-A-T-T Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 04 is better but 05 aint bad with a different lever blade e.g. the echo ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskimo Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 What?My understanding was that the ONLY differance between hs33's and hs11's was the lever itself. They use the same calipers do they not?It's something to do with the slave cylinder being stronger. I don't really have a clue but after using them both you can feel that hs33's have that little more power behind them.Anymore mention of the topic will result in a serious argument between which is 'better' and we will just watch on with disgust. That happened in one of my topics which was about plazmatic rims. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boswell Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 the TPA's usually break on the 04 and 05 but i would have to say that 04 is better as they are a lot easier to fix.Mr ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abtrials Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 as standard levers the 04 feels better, but the 05/06 are better with the deng leverblades Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 I have never broken any hs33 levers, I had 04s for two years on my XC bike which I rode jumps and street on, and crashed alll the time, and on my T-PRO I have green 06s.

ste_racca Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 (edited) The 05 feels nicer but the 04 is much better because they are more reliable and the tpa is so much easier to use. I use 05 levers but thats only because 04 levers are hard to get hold of now.Ste Edited December 23, 2006 by stecarra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam trials Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 04 on rear as it feels better and i use it more and 05 on front because i dont use it as much and only have one 04 lever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
