Noir1 Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 I rememeber there was a big rage over bleeding your Magura in the bath (sink or bucket was used too). There was what seamed the normal pro and con debate for a forum but also with trials riders. Just curious to know if they are still used or not?

ogre Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 you can ensure there is absolutely no air in the brake if it's completely submerged in water plus you don't need any bleeding tools; you can unscrew the bleed bolts and place your fingers over the holes and put the lever blade to force old water out, and let the new in. winner...

duncan_echo26 Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 I much prefer syringe bleeds because you can just leave the brake on the bike so there is no need to set the brake up again after.And if you are careful you can get it pretty much airless too.

Noir1 Posted December 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 Think your all missing the point I made. I know everything there is about it and I have done it. Just it's no longer the most comen spoken thing and I was asking does that mean it's not welcomed as a way to bleed anymore or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukasMcNeal Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 Think your all missing the point I made. I know everything there is about it and I have done it. Just it's no longer the most comen spoken thing and I was asking does that mean it's not welcomed as a way to bleed anymore or not.Its still welcomed and there is even a section on wiki about it, I think its just people are lazy and prefer syringe because they dont have to remove the brake and its alot cleaner when going from oil to water as the oil doesn't go in the water in the bucket and go all crappy!

Ash-Kennard Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 i use a sryinge, but it broke the other day so i took the whole lever off the bar, dropped that in the sink, undid the caliper bleed bolt, used the sryinge hose and dunked it in a bucket then bath bled with the brake still attached to the bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
