RossMcd Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 Hey!I have a magura louise front brake on my coust and it has started to reduce in leverage and develop play in the lever quite quickly. I have tightened it by using a 2mm allen key but after a day its back down to the leverage I really dont like. When i tighten it up aswell there is no play but after one ride its got a fair bit. This is really annoying me because it came new on my coust and if its f**king up already I wont be too happy. So can anyone tell me why it is doing this andif it can be sorted? There is deffinately no leaks or anything because the lever isnt spongy. But after one ride its really close to the bar Help would be much appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hdmackay Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 Oh yeah. Forgot about that. That sucks.You could try Alpine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossMcd Posted February 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 I just wanna know whats going on with it really. Its annoying me. Its ridable but its not how i like it. It feels like its breakable when its this close to the bar. And the fact when I tighten it up to where i like it it goes back that quick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonMack Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 Is it just the grub screw undoing? Why don't you try some threadlock on there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossMcd Posted February 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 I dont really know how to get to it lol! The bolt is inside the lever and by the looks of it its attached to a barrel like on a hope brake. It looks like there is no way of taking it apart but there must be a way. I just dont wanna break it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Dark Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 (edited) probably have to take the lever blade off....EDIT: service manuals are here Magura Manual Edited February 25, 2009 by Alex Dark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
higgzGU! Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 That is the same problem that I had with mine remember Ross, didn't you say it was something to do with the pads? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossMcd Posted February 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 That is the same problem that I had with mine remember Ross, didn't you say it was something to do with the pads?Your pads were worn down to the bare metal. mine have tons of life in them. And I know its not the pads or anything. the bleed is perfect. Im fairly sure its the lever thats the problem. It has developed alot of play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
