Wow, I must have been on drugs thinking I bled them right with the baby oil. Just ripped them off again and bled in a bucket of water......they are awesome now. TPA is all the way in and they stop on a dime, with the original magura pads and no grind. Hate to think how much stronger they are with the rock pads and a light grind Thanks for the feedback and help, really appreciated.

thanks elliot, ill rip them off again tonight and do a water bleed. I used baby oil, but couldnt find a fragrance free one. It was enough to fully submerge in a small bucket but real awkward to get my fingers in to plug up the hole. when doing it does it matter if the lever and the slave is sitting in the bottom of the bucket, or should i be holding the lever up higher (as air rises)?

they are brand new hs33s from tarty, http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?pr...;category_id=72 and the pads are rock pads blue http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?pr...p;category_id=4 pads are made for ground rims and really squeal when the pads are locking. Might give the pads that came with the hs33s another go before i grind the rims. Would using pads for ground rims on a non ground rim make such a big difference?

Hi guys. So ive just built up an inspired fourplay and have hs33 on the rear. I rebled them yesterday with baby oil submerged, no air from what I can see but still they dont really bite. Ive got them mounted about 2mm from the rim yet they arent locking up my rear. I haven't grinded the rear yet, so im guessing that would be my next stop, but still i was expecting that if i gave it a nice push down on the pedals it would stay locked. Also thats with my TPA adjusted pretty high + (i know i shoudnt be using that with new pads). Also, is it normal for the slave to push out a little lagged than the master? When i have the brakes off the bike and pull lever down the whole way, the slave doesnt come out as far as the master, im guessing that as the oil is passing through the master and into the slave it lags across the crossover pipe? I know that once the master hits the rim the slave is gonna bite down as quick as the oil can get through the crossover, but im just not getting why these new brakes arent biting as hard as what my old rubbish brakes on my old mongoose freestyle used to......
