Skoze Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 (edited) My deng was fine for about 8 months until i needed money and went back to a standard maggie, It's weird to go back but i like it If you can afford it and like deng levers, need some pimp appeal etc... Get one and don't go near it with a syringe and water.MattEDIT: They leak when bled with water as it is alot thinner than oil, and they are made to be bled with oil and there are very small spaces between seals/ parts, so the water can get through these gaps whereas oil wouldn't. I think. Edited March 15, 2008 by Skoze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Kearns Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 2004 Magura's are god's gift. Since they changed the design in 2005. And i brought a set. I cracked and snapped both levers so thought they were faulty, Got another set and popped the rear brake, now find out there literally impossiable to get a decent bleed. So sold them and went back to 2004 Maggy's. I'd never run anything else.Danny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 I never had any issues with my (newer style) '05 MagurasI ran them for a year or so, with a water bleed about halfway through that, and they never gave me any issues.I then sold one of the to the village idiot, who managed to break it within 48 hours, so I put it down to user error Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
