old_man_dan Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 are the echo/whatever magaies any good is there much extra heal clearance on them and are they worth the extra money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoze Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 They're around the price of a fully "pimped" magura (upgraded clamps, lever, tpa, pads etc etc), if you think of it that way, and fully cnc'd! The slaves are a lower profile too, so you get more clearance.Mine gave me no problems, but some of the older ones leaked a bit, and became sieves if they were bled with water.The new ones are far better apparently! And if it does leak (and you haven't put water in it) then they're covered by a full warranty, so you can easily get your money back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrBENN Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 I got one of the older versions. It worked really well for the first couple of months. Taking some tough testing on gaps and things..I thought it was working perfectly, but then the first problem came, the tpa got stuck, dont know if it was just me that its happened to but got a new tpa and everything worked fine and dandy again. Still running perfectly, then noticed one day little amount of oil had leaked..don't know where from but a week or two down the line this problem became worse and the brake didn't seem to perform as well as it used to and overall the brake had detiriated into a death trap. I tried a re-bleed with 'Royal Blood' but still the leaking persisted. I ended up getting a new brake. But this was when the *Dengura* was first bought out onto the market. Iv'e heard that the new ones are far much better. Hope this has helpedBen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
