MAX (M.A.D) Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 (edited) You could give it another grind and then it should work again, or burn it of with a blow torch that might work. Max Edited April 8, 2009 by MAX (M.A.D) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshlyd1 Posted April 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 Iv never actually grinded it because they are new but if i burnt it wouldn't it affect the colour , what would happen if i washed it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Griffiths Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 You put oil in maguras so with a rag and some petrol you may be able to get the oil off possibly white spirits may work aswell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackC123 Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 Grinding it wont help, the parts were the angle grinder didntgrind is still going to be contaminated. So get some white spirit and run it around your rim with preferavly a cotton rag. The take off your pads and clean then with white spirit and sand down just a little layer, just to make sure.

Stump Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 (edited) I had the same problem with my Magura. Mine burst aswell All you got to do is find out where you burst your brake and find out where the liquid is coming out from If its the cross over you may need to get a new one or if your cross over is still quite big. you could cut it down to size.If its near the brake lever blade you just cut the part which is burst and just re-place the barb into the hose and add and olive. That might seem confusing but that happend to me Just thought I would give you some advice If your still experiencing problems with your brake ask some one with a bit more knowledge than me lolIf any fuild gets onto your rims you could jst use a wet towel to wipe the fuid of or you could try and burn it of if its stuck on and other option is a re-grindEither way that should help out a bit Thanks Darren Edited April 9, 2009 by Stump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
