Ben :]

I just thought as its kind of hidden on the forum to a new member. I know it was done by mark thats why I have metioned that.

Thought I would show you this faq done by onzaboymark as I have found it really usefull and im sure you guys will aswell So here goes... Holy crap, there is actually a working Magura TPA FAQ now Right, here's the pics: First of all, you should have a little piston attached to your lever. The little flappy thing that'll probably fall off and go underneath whatever cupboard/box/pallets/friend you've got around. That's not in this pic, 'cos I lost the one off this lever blade. Don't worry aobut it for now 1. First of all, make like the top left picture and jimmy off your red TPA knob with a screw-driver/gnarled claw. 2.Now, you should be like the top right picture. You'll again want to use a biro/pen/pencil/screwdriver/allen key to push out the little metal sleeve inside the lever bolt hole. 3.After doing this, you'll move on to the bottom left pic. The little flat piece of metal that the little pistony bit was attached to is now a seperate entity. 4.Following on from this, moving onto the middle picture, take the TPA bolt bit out of the lever blade by pushing it down from where the red knob formerly was. 5.After this is out, you'll probably have the little square nut in one hand with a bit of bolt in it, and then a seperate little bit which is the sheared part. This sheared part is what was stopping your TPA working before. 6.Get the sheared part OUT of that square nut. It's not doing you or your image any favours. Once that's out, you'll be at the stage of the bottom right picture. 7.Now, you'll need to get your M5 bolt ready (same thickness as a 4-bolt Magura bolt 8.Push the little square nut up through the bottom of the lever blade (so you're just rebuilding it). 9.Once that's poking it's ugly head out of the top of your lever blade, screw the M5 bolt a little way in (just to hold it in place . 10.Once this is done, push the bit of metal that formerly had the TPA bolt on it (the bit that sheared. I'm talking about the little U-shaped bit of metal). Push that up underneath the square nut. 11.Having done this, push the flat bit of metal we spoke about earlier (which the piston was attached to?) up into the lever body as you took it out. 12.Push the little metal sleeve back in. Mark's Warning: This can be a bitch to do. Just force it 13.Once this is done, push the piston back into place (you push it in at an angle and it'll go in easy. Pretty obvious though . 14.You now have a bodged (it actually works better...) TPA. Woo. Mark NOTE: The lever blade in question has a working TPA, hence the non-sheared bolt. Just to clear that up Hope all goes well and you find it usefull Ben

I would defiantly advise a rohloff speed hub tensioner, its only £20 more, comes with lifetime warrenty and just works a whole lot better.

I would go with water if your doing an HS33. If your bleeding a hydraulic brake you can pretty much get away with anything. Also you could even buy it from a car shop which would cost a lot less and do the same job

If I was you I would pump your tire up to a fair pressure, Go out and ride and keep taking air out as you feel the need, then you will hopefully come to a pressure you like.

Cant agree with you on that one sorry, I run a Hope Mono trial allthough I wish I had saved my money in buying a bb7 and having a more powerfull brake at the end of the day. Also a mechanical will cost you alot less time and money. No bleeding etc, just need to change the pads every now and then

Hello, I have never ridden with the onza 28 inch bars allthough I am currently using the 30 inch ones and they are really nice. Cant fault them to be honest.

oh my god, you will have to take a pic of them all one of theese days, would be intresting to see also a nice backround for someone.

haha Awesome, looks nice. Onza have defiantly come a long way.

Looks nice mark What frame is that, i don't recognise it? That must be good having a petrol station pretty much next door to your house. Ben

haha, good stuff any chance of some pictures mark? (of your bike) Cheers Ben

If I was you, I would go with marks idea, sounds good and cheap

I'm currently useing a hope xc hub on the rear at the moment, if you look after them i.e servicing them regualy there pretty good. Allthough the hub I have my eye on at the moment is the hope pro 2. I have a friend that owns one and its been extremely reliable for him

Hey, took me a while at first. It's all about practise to be honest, Just keep at it and work your way up. cheers Ben
