jambo Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 (edited) Does anyone have problems with water bleed magies in the heat, seems one of my pistons is not returning, i know there can be problems with lack of lubricant?

forteh Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 Im still using my emulsion bleed from a few months back, never had a sticky piston since My slaves are about 10 years old and were very sticky before I put the emulsion in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan6061 Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 Try this: http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/wiki/Fixing_...ra_lazy_pistonsAt the moment I'm having to bleed my Magura every few weeks, think it's had it! No noticeable leaks, and they're good bleeds each time... Only problem I've ever had with water bleeds though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X X XYou will need to relube the slaves every so often when the oil dries out/washes off. I used to do this to fix the sticky pistons but it made a mess of the pads eventually (too lazy to clean it all off properly :$ ) but the emulsion I came up with lubes the same as oil does but still keeps the lightweight watr feel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
