pablotrial Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 echo brake levers are good, the problems with those brakes are the slave cylinder, if you can get some magura slave cylinders and it should work finei thinkgood luckpablo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sobek Posted April 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 yeh ive noticed thats the area it leaks the most. but i never noticed it to leak a great deal (doesnt seem to leak enough oil to need to be bled again..but i dont know), so im wondering if its leaking somewhere else.but i read (on pinkbike i think) that the slave cylinders from maguras are stronger than the echos.would it be worth buying the complete set, including the slave cylinders, or should i just stick with getting a new lever?

TomN Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 I say, just get a Magura, Its tried and tested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sobek Posted April 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 I say, just get a Magura, Its tried and tested Considering that. Never had a problem with the Maguras on my old mod, even after a year and not being bled at all, they were still doing their job.Unfortunately...Maguras here are alot more expensive for me. The 2009 apparently cost 950 RMB (95 pounds). Of course i can afford it and will still buy them because...I need them. Just wish Magura had a factory in China so they could be cheaper for me ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
