Stevie Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 Hi guys,I ordered my Magura Louise BAT 160 Front brake, i got it the morning after i ordered it which is awesome service I shortened the hose using the manual and all went to plan and it looks about right now.So i went outside to test it and it's no where near powerful enough at the moment, i have to BAT adjuster thing on the highest it will go and the only way i can get the brake to lock is by pulling it in with all my force.Does this mean i have to re-bleed my brake or will it just take time to wear in ?Thanks for your time.Stevie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamWood! Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 If you have had the hose off to shorten it then air will have got into the system and it will need bleeding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukasMcNeal Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 I would guess it needs time to bed in. Have you checked all the pads are straight etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie Posted July 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 The pads seem inline and operting pretty evenly, and i tested the brake before i shortened the hose and it was exactly the same as after i shortened it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 It neds to bed in - The rotor and pads will be all shiny and new, and will need a few rides to roughen up and mesh together. Search on here for bedding in tips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie Posted July 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 Thanks for your replys guys,Like N.Wood said i believe it needs to bed in a little bit, i went riding for about an hour just and by the end it seemed slightly better than before.It has a nice bite point an a sharp one at that, just doesnt seem to hold that well.Thanks again for your help, ill be out riding as much as possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
