Luke Dunstan Posted June 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 Rebleed it. No syringe! and as the piston is jammed, think i'm pretty stuck! I'm guessing there is no quick fix? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingkopity Posted July 4, 2010 Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 So the piston in the lever body is stuck in and wont return? Just whip the bolt out of the lever (where the hose fits in) and disonect the hose, then push a small diameter but long length allen key through one of the holes and push the piston back out. not an ideal fix but thats what i do. goog luck.

Or you could take the leavr blade of and try and grab the piston with some long skinny pliers try not to damage the piston though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just bought a new lever instead, the old one was very, very old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t-comp-kierz Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 What about a classic Magura Blue mountain? Got a pair of them still in my cupboard! Any chance of posting pics of them as i really want to see what they look like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 (edited) Here you go! Back when I first started you got these, the blue ones were the budget set, bout £30 a pair cheaper than the raceline yellows and the reds (can't remember what they were called) and all came with boosters like the ones that come with the evo2 kit although you could get a stiffer "horseshoe" booster for the yellows. Not long after, bout 97 I think, they brought out an even cheaper version of the blue ones which were just a pair without boosters and with composite levers. Think they were called Move but I could be wrong, was a long time ago now! Oh yeah, we could only get 3 types of pad back then as well, standard black pads, koolstop reds and greenfrogs!

dann2707 Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 Yeah they sound like Moves! The body is plastic, my nut has rounded off the plastic on the inside so i have to jam a screw driver in it when i'm tightening them up! Can't wait to upgrade it to be honest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 Think I might dig mine out, its a shame as the aluminiums corroded over the years so they look a bit horrible. Otherwise would be on my stock as we speak! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
