TheSnowden Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 If anyone's got the time to write one, or can forward me to a simple dumb guy's guide to bleeding Maggy HS33's and when you need to do it, what specialist equipment and a rough price; then i'd be thoroughly grateful Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSnowden Posted July 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 Also, does anyone know what year these maggies are from and where i can get a replacement screw (the red one i guess to make them match lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 To bleed check the link that's in Revolvers signature (if it's still there, I have the sigs turned off so don't see them now!) and for the TPA knob your best off emailing or ringing Tartybikes as they sell them. They're here but are showing as on order currently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skoze Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 Not too hard is it? If you've used water be sure to get all the old oil out, flush it through a couple of times. On a completely different note, Snowden is such a beautiful song. Need to make a video to that when i've got enough clips together...

Mark W Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 Also, does anyone know what year these maggies are from and where i can get a replacement screw (the red one i guess to make them match lol) You can use an ordinary M5 bolt to replace the actual broken part of that (it's just the threaded section of the TPA which will have broken). It's possible to get the red adjuster cap on with a bit of tweaking, but I ran mine without them and it was fine. Used to have some beasting long bolts in mine, pure danger...
