davey1991 Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 I've never heard of brittle cables i'd assume thye have the same lines as maguras or at least very similar, they can leak if you don't clean them out when new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never heard about the cables being "brittle" although they are a pain in the arse to fit connections too from what I've heard. They have a kind of kevlar lining I think with a plastic inner, supposedly making them significantly stronger than standard Magura plastic lines. What you say about the cleaning out is definitely true, a lot of the early Denguras ( not sure if its the same with the new ones ) had problems with swarf not being removed from the barrel. When used this caused scoring inside and thus leaks. Ye, cheaper on here though once you're validated You'll probably only have to buy a couple of bits to get yours going again anyway.
