kevtim Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 How do you bleed maguras as one of my current brakes is a little crap and i've never needed to do it before? Any step by step info anywhere with tools, tips for a good brake set up? I just wondered what the differences between bleeding maguras with oil and water are also? Is one better than the other? All help much appreciated thanks!Kev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forteh Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 All you need is hereWater is generally preferred as it gives a lighter, snappier feel at the lever, you can suffer from sticky pistons though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scary_jeff Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 The wiki is good for bleeding, but are there any tips for setting up/aligning the calipers using 4 bolt mounts? I always find this a real pain in the ass, and almost impossible to get the pad alignment perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
