Jack Morton Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 I was out on my bike before trying to improve on my gapping and out of the corner of my eye i saw a silver line on the back of my magura hs33 05. Like between where the brake lever bolts in and the cylinder , piston thing. On closer inspection i found that is is cracked but, I wanted to no if this has happend to anyone eles Magura hs33.

Jack Chinnery Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 (edited) Couldn't you get a half decent alu welder to get it done? Edited March 25, 2009 by Jack Chinnery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Morton Posted March 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 (edited) Couldn't you get a half decent alu welder to get it done?I can aluminuim weld my self but to be honest it is just pointless it would just give again soon.

Cresswell_d Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 (edited) You could get the same lever (05).Or, You can get an older one (04), What are I think are stronger than the 05'sDaz. Edited March 26, 2009 by Cresswell_d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam F Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 Your 14 and you can aluminium weld?You sure your not on about soldering or somthing lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 looking at your lever its pretty bashed. You could try for a warranty, but I would think they would refuse due to the marks on the lever blade.You can't weld the lever either, its cast which is a big problem, plus they have a high magnesium content, so they would melt very easily.
