tomsutton Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 Hi, I have magura hs33 they were originally bled with magura blood when i got them on my bike, but they felt a bit spongy. So I tried water bleeding in a bath. Yet still the lever nearly touches the bars. I have put all the TPA all the way to the + but makes no difference. Maybe its my bleeding method? How long am i meant to bleed them for, iv been doing it till no bubbles can be seen but this obviously isn't working? Thanks Tom... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Morton Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 Bleed it with syringe I just did mine before. I will do it for you mate if its causing you trouble. Although are you setting it up correctly so that the pads are like MM of the rim ? P.S you can post in trials chat, you are validated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomsutton Posted April 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 Yeah, I just dont want to clog up trials chat with a subject like this. Is it easier to bleed with syringes? Or do you you know anywhere i cant get a guide on how to do it? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do you you know anywhere i cant get a guide on how to do it? Cheers I find it easier to do with syringe. Quick job, Litrually took me a minute to undo bolts stick my syringe thing on and then bleed it through . There isnt really a technique to it. I find if you put the lever at a 45degree angle facing upwards it does it better with syringe. Bleed from bottom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeanuckleJive Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 Have you set your brakes close to your rim? obviously the further away from your rim they are, the further the lever will travel I reckon you just haven't successfully bled them, try again and make sure you wind the TPA all the way off before you do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyBazz (: Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 Turn TPA all the way off. Take out both bleed bolts. Finger over piston, pull lever all way in. While lever all way in, move finger from piston to lever bleed hole. let go off lever. Repeat until no air comes out. Flick the hosing and pump a few times to release trapped air. Put bleed bolts back in, tighten up. Sorted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
