Anyone else got problems or tips? I want to keep this a strictly magura tips and problem thread, no other nonsense.

This is my first post on the forum and I only joined trials forum the other day. I can’t help but notice the amount of magura threads on here! Its ridiculous! So here it is, hopefully one of the last magura threads for a long while- The 'Magura Questions Thread' Please feel free to post any problems or tips you have with your maguras- Whether it be with your HS33, HS11, Julie or Louise its all magura and should all be answered in this thread. So... I'll start it off by giving my step-by-step bath bleed tips: Step 1: Remove your magura HS33/11 from your bike by simply loosening the mounting bolts, cutting all cable ties and taking out the mount bolts. Step 2: Fill up the bath with water (nearly full) and add a fair amount of anti freeze or rad coolant. Step 3: Using a 5mm allen key undo the bolt on the calliper, it helps if you completely remove this and also remove the bolt in the lever by using a 3mm allen key (the lever bolt is situated next to the hose fitting). Step 4: Place all of the brake under the water and set it all flat to the bottom of the bath. Step 5: Repetitively squeeze the brake lever, I recommend around 200 times for best results. Step 6: Whilst the brake is still under water put the bolts back in very tight. Step 7: Dry off the brake, mount it back on the bike. Step 8: Apologise to your parents for the mess in the tub and ride!
