Ollied Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 Would you advise this brake? My magura hose has split, the maguras a mess anyway really, the pistons falling out etc etc. So i figured it may be easier to just buy a nice new brake, would you advise this over a hs33?Cheers,Ollied Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ullapool Trials Rider Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 I don't know what there like 'cause i've never used one. But i say stick with what you know. Just get a new Magura. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickdonboy Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 maggie's for the win. can't go wrong. unessessary money in my opinion. if you set a maggie up properly and set a echo up perfectly there would hardly be a difference. and you can use water fort maggies. aparantly echos can't take it or something..?

Can you fit heatsink,TNN ect. pads in them does anyone know?YOu need to file them down a little bit I think. But I'd stay away from the echo pistons, the levers are good but most other brake stuff is risking it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
