So no clue to solve my problem ? Anyone had this issue and solves it ?

i did use Shimano olive and bard ... no leaking so far

I tried to get the air out as much as i could.... i've never serviced a brake more carrefully....so now i really don't know how i can do better....if this is the issue....and it certainly is...

Anyone have tips for bleeding Shigura the right way ? I use it for month now. But i can bleed it correctly. The distance between the lever and the handlebar may vary a bit. And the main issue is : when i carry my bike in the car, lying on the side for a long time, when i take it out of the car for a ride, the lever can hit the handlebar. If i press the lever several times it become "ok" again. I don't understand why ??? I tried to follow some instruction found the internet to bleed it, i did it very carrefully, several times and these issues are still there..... It's to bad, because it does brake a lot.

I bled it again today, i will have a ride and see... But it still not feel very firm.. but it brakes a lot.....i will try to get use to it. Anyways, magura mt5 depends on where you buy it can be a quite cheap way to have a brake that brakes a lot. It also seems that any brakes/setup have its drawbacks ... For me the MT5 was fine, but the pin that hold the blade was constantly moving out of its "housing" (i really don't know why...)...and this is not very reassuring....

So i finally tried it. Thus i currently use Magura MT5 caliper, with Magura hose and 160 rotor (back of a 20 inch bike) and a Shimano xt lever. It seems to have more top end power and indeed it's a bit more on/off.... or it seems to be due to the way it operates. But i a have que question for those who would know.... is this shigura xt+MT5 supposed to have a firmer touch than the genuine mt5/mt7 ? Because it brake a lot, but even when the wheel is locked you the lever doesn't feel very firm/stiff.... Is it "normal" or may have i made a bad bleeding ? Thanks !

Le blade seems quite similar to the xt blade though ... I've looked for improved spare blade, i've cam accross this : https://flomotorsports.com/products/copy-of-beta-brake-lever-1 But i don't know if it worth a thing, and it is not availabe.

Hi Everyone ! I am currently considering the Shigura option .... Mt5 lever is a lot flimsy. The blade lever pin i don't know why tends to goes out ... and i don't really trust it. But braking power is nice. I am considering using a xt lever. But after reading here that they are fragile, i am wondering... As i can't find a really clear answer, have some people this day, more ideas about which lever can't be good and trusted with these magura MT calipers. Maybe a stupid question, but anyone has use an other thing than shimano's levers? Thanks !

It is a small amount. If i wipe it off before riding, general usually it's not there again after that. But if y let the bike stays stored a few days there is a small amount of fluid again. See on the picture attached, it seems to come from around the screw holding the caps .... hence the rust ... I ride it like that for weeks now, but if there is a problem i'd like to know and fix it. And if there is no problem, i much more happy then ! ;-)

You mean excess of fluid from the bleeding (after changing the diaphragms) ? Or it could be fluid coming from the reservoir (inside) ? I will take some pictures, but the leak is small and "slow".

Hi everyone ! I bought from you a few years ago a "Hope tech evo" lever (https://ep1.pinkbike.org/p4pb9311179/p4pb9311179.jpg). For a few weeks, maybe a month it leaks some break fluid from the two reservoir "caps" . Having some spare diaphragms, i tried to change them. And it still leaks. Not a lot, the break is useable. But it does worry my in term of reliability. Anyway, what do you think of it, it is a known issue ? And what spare part could i swap/change to solve this issue. Thanks a lot !

I just saw this on Crewkerz facebook page. Nothing special, not especially oriented toward trial riders it's more o commercial. But filming is nice, the spot looks great. I'd like to see more vidéos of Jack in this quality. But maybe in another king of video. And the new bike looks super nice :

Very bad filming ! Almost Unwatchable ! I hope they don't do it for a living...too bad

I currently ride a 20" and a 26", i ride then equally. But 20" and 26" bikes are more different than 26" and 24". With two very different setups you can in my opinion get away with boredom. So in your case, i guess one bike would probably be left away as they seem to similar.

Have you even tried one ? I assume you don't, and i'm pretty sure i am right. Again, you make assumptions based on nothing tangible ... just for having the pleasure to write something i suppose. Aaaaagain it is not helpful for those really interested using this brake on rear. I haven't use it for trials on rear, but on an Enduro bike, and it feels as firm as hydros like magura or hope brakes. Even if the feeling may be different. So if you are making assumptions, you'd better write "i suppose, i assume ..." Or better if you feel as you have nothing interesting to say on a topic, dont say nothing at all .... I think we all agree you've made enougth redondant topics.
