Sam T Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 (edited) Hey guys, Got a bit of a problem. Brought a brand new 2011 Magura HS33 and all i have ever had it problems! When i first bought it, i set up with with new pads (8mm of material) square against the rim as i could get it. Rode it for about 1-2 hours, and by the end of it the pistons had slowly worked there way out. The TPA was maxed out also. I was told by a fellow rider whom had the same problem with his echo cyclinder to file the little tabs away and it will clamp better. I cut the tabs of my standard Magura mounts and its still doing it! I was also told that maybe the bolts that i got with my booster were long, so I got the dremel out and cut a good 1-2mm off them. This still didnt worked. I have also tried wrapping a thin layer of electrical tape round both cylinders and putting the plastic washers on top. Hey guess what? This still didnt work. One of my mates has the same problem for his front one. Koxx Forks, Echo CNC mounts? Not sure if this makes a difference, but I have Onza Comp 2010, Standard magura mounts, Tensile booster, Onza 108 hole rim. Pretty annoying seeing as though i had to put my old 04 Magura back on, specially as I just spent all the money on it. So yeah, am I doing anything wrong? Help me! Sam. EDIT: Also bled with Phat Phluid. No signs of it leaking.. Edited February 5, 2011 by TrialsSam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franksx2005 Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 All I can say is I didn't have a problem with mine with variouse different mounts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 Well, this is a problem... You've done all the typical fixes... Maybe another set of mounts would do the trick? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a dam right pain! Just a bit weird that Magura cylinders don't work with Magura clamps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Arnold Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 have your pads worn down? fresh grind? my old echo mounts used to let the caliper slide through, but that shouldn't be a problem with the older style mounts.. are there any leaks? bled with what?

Since running it, I've ran 2 different sets of pads. Both with reasonable amount of material. Its not the pads wearing down silly quick If thats what your thinking. It'd be set-up nicely at the start of a ride, and by the end the TPA would be maxxed out and still come right into the bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Arnold Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 ahh right, well in that case it's fluid leak by the sounds of it, or the tpa is shagged? not looked at a 2011 mag yet myself though.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balls Deep trials team Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 (edited) wrap even more eletrical tape round the brake cyclinders to give the clamps more to clamp to .... or just go rear disk Edited February 6, 2011 by Balls Deep trials team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
