Laurence--Trials Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 (edited) Okay, i found this on OTN and thaught it would be good if i posted it here! Originally Posted by MAGURA Join in and win at MAGURA's crash contest! MAGURA is collecting the most spectacular crashes Have you ever crashed? Have you perhaps even wrecked your disc brakes because of that? If so than make sure you get involved in the MAGURA Crash Contest! No matter if your brakes are from MAGURA or not – as long as you have managed to trash them in your crash. Besides that you obviously need a video clip that shows one of the following: - You managed to capture the whole thing – from beginning to end – perfect. - Crashing the brake is not an absolute must, but it will enhance your chances to win! - You don't have a video of how you destroyed your brake but you filmed the spectacular results of your wrecked brake. - You filmed yourself or your friends telling the story how your brakes got destroyed. Now simply upload the video and with a little luck win a prize. MAGURA is trying to achieve two things with this Crash Contest. First of all we will put the funniest, the most spectacular and the most exciting crash stories, showing how hard our sport can be, together into a Crash Contest Video. More importantly though, we are keen to find out what really goes wrong in extreme situations to establish what needs to change to make brakes more resilient and reliable. There is obviously an ambitious goal. The MISSION PERFORMANCE is aiming towards making the best disc brake in the world. And YOUR input and experiences will play a fundamental role in this process.

KG Stuttgarter Straße 48 D-72574 Bad Urach www.magura.com www.mission-performance.com www.facebook.com/magurapassionpeople I also found these on the thread. Pretty cool to watch. 1. 2. Win a new MAGURA disc brake set of your own choice! Amongst the hopefully many uploads we raffle every month three MAGURA disc brake sets of the actual program as a token of our gratitude. Last video upload Sunday, October 30. All winners will be notified by e-mail The best videos will be awarded with a MAGURA disc brake set at winner’s choice. In addition we’re going to raffle also cool goodies at winner's option from our online shop. Please follow the guidelines mentioned under video upload.

Revolver Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 I wonder if the guy with a hope lever stuck in his hand has it on video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krisboats Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 Video 1, 1:19 in, i'd be so pissed at the guy who left his bike on the floor Sounds funny though. What is the prize, couldn't see it anywhere. Also, video 2. Some type of plastic? Seemed rather bouncy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaRtZ Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 I would say that material X is a plastic, possibly a reinforced plastic structure (seems to be painted or coated to the eagle eye ) Looks impressive though, although not entirely sure that test is conclusive for... whatever it is they're going to use it for Actually, what is that material going to be used for?

PaRtZ Posted August 15, 2010 Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 levers, callipers, slaves.... lol. so the kind of stuff that is regularly impacted with a large steel block then I cant say Ive ever had a slave snap on me tbf. And I get a slight feeling that plastic hydraulic components may be slightly spongier?.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Clark Posted August 15, 2010 Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 Maybe the reason why Magura are behind Hope/Avid/Hayes in the disc brake market is because they test all their stuff in totally asinine ways instead of making brakes out of it and testing them. The horse one makes no sense at all as they've already proved it's stronger than steel apparently, and steel does a fine job at horse shoes now, so I'm not sure exactly what that proved except it's still as strong as steel. Good to know I can put my brakes in an oven/freezer though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
