t-comp-kierz Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 (edited) I am thinking of getting the new echo tr lever, but I have heard alot about the old ones leaking, is the true? Is it more powerful than the maggura ones? And what is your opinion on them? EDIT: Would I be better getting a fresh products lever blade for me Hs33?

aener Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 I don't own one - but I'm fairly sure they only leak when water-bled. Oil bleeds are fine, as I understand it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The grub screws leaks like your so i got the grub swrews out of my hs33s -problem solved!! think there great and the feel is really good. The point on the grub screws are far to much on the echo ones. pretty pants to be honest but hopefully they sorts this if not order 2 magura screws and that will sort it.
