isitafox Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 Right I should have my RB Designs lever arrive today and I plan to stick it on my mod as the current lever has been modified cause of the dreaded 05 crack. My plan is to get a rear braided hose set from Rock n Roll but I just wanted to check if fitting it is straightforward? Also as it is currently water bled I'll have to swap to an oil bleed cause of the lever so what bits will I need to bleed it, just some tube, a barbed fitting and a syringe?? Never bled a maggie with oil before so I wanna check I've got everything I need before I start! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_Trials Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 It'l be finee, the fittings are the same as on the HS33 levers and bleeding with oil is virtually the same, just gotta watch out for it dripping on your rim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted October 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 That should be alright then, gonna take it off to bleed anyway as I need to give it a good flush out to clear all the water in there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 Your best bet would be to bleed with water, the fittings on the Unex hoses have a very small bore, so your brake will be VERY sluggish with oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lever leaks with water though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted October 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 Only problem there is I've been told the RB levers leak with a water bleed?? May have to stick with the standard hoses then, would have liked braided but can't afford a full magura kit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al_Fel Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 I think you're a lot better off with the standard hose. My experience of the Unex stuff wasn't too good and I'd avoid it like the plague. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
