mad max Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 Just putting the finishing touches to my A1 build and have fitted my rear brake, but i seem to have some steel spacers Left over Do these need to be used?I have just bolted them straight on the frame, They seem to wort fine but i am a bit worried.I am going to set up my bb7 in the morning. I have read the fitting post on here but dose anyone have any good tips.The instructions in the maggie box are a bit hard to follow as they seem to be for the older brakes.Sorry for being a bit dim :$ Thanks for the help.

N.Wood Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 Steel spacers?You need 4 bits for a rear brake - An upper 'cup' and a lower 'cup' for each side.The Magura cylinder sits in between these 2 pieces.The actual cylinder shouldn't be touching the frame.

N Roach Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 No one uses washes anywhere on there brake. The only part i can amagine would be between the top of the bolt and the surface of the mount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaRtZ Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 maybe they're for a booster? The order as said goes: lower mount, cylinder, upper mount, spacer, booster, boltIf you're not running a booster then just ignore the spacer/booster combo and you'll find you have the spacers and booster left over. Will still be ok, just possibly not as stiff as with a booster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only part i can amagine would be between the top of the bolt and the surface of the mount.I think they are just for different frames, i seem to have sorted it. I will try to fit my front now but a little wasted from watching the hattan, still drinking at 6:00 this morning Thanks for the help.Come on the hitman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
