Mikey-uk Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 Heya, been browsing this forum for a while but only now decided to make an account (nothing to contribute as i dont know enough about trials)Basically, bought the Mod bike from pogonation and the front lever blade snapped, i would replace it straight away but i don't know anything about hydralic disk levers or what blade to use.Can i use any old hydrolic disk blade? I'm wondering because i don't want to use the wrong part and mess it up xDThanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikey-uk Posted September 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 no you need the original you cant just chuck anyold one onDo you know where i can buy a Marta lever blade then? All i can find are the complete carbon levers, all i want is the blade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey-uk Posted September 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 (edited) It's either missing or i'm being really slow but i couldn't see an edit button.Marta Lever Blade <-- Will these do for the front Marta disk? I wanted a 2finger blade but if thats all that i can get and if it is indeed ONLY marta blades that work then they will have to do....Ok i can edit this post, anyway, found out its £72 for the 2finger Marta lever from that site, is there any way to replace the BLADE only for a cheaper price?

maxxis26 Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 ring magura direct if the blade has just snapped then its a fault with the lever and they should replace it for youhowever if it has been abused you may need you pay for one btw ... have you checked ebay? i had a quick look but keep checking the only other thing to do is to get another disk brakeplenty in the for sale section Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
only1monty Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 i havent had a look but maybe try chain reaction cycles as they usually have loads of parts but unfortunately tartybikes dont sell the marta levers... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sstein Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 Get a third party one as magura spares are quite hard to get as they need to come from germany. I think straitline might do something that will fit however they are quite pricey. Alternatively you could just ring magura yourself or get your lbs to order one in!

Mikey-uk Posted September 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 Thanks for the replys guys, the reason im asking about blades is because the marta blade is too expensive, i'll give magura a ring though and find out about getting them to repair it. Getting a new disk is out of the question as its only the blade in the lever thats gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And give a garuntee if they f**k up they will replace the levers? And go for a ride after ofc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
