monty221ti Posted September 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 yeah i know, but i'm not to keen on the echo, but it's lighter than the magura so can't really pick one, if i'm going for one of the magura's, i can swap the brakes on sunday.

customrider-Rhys Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 Be careful with the lever clamp they can snap so easily, the metals not very strong atall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.KYDD Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 You are correct, some people do both the top and bottom. But its the underside which is the more important to file/cut away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monty221ti Posted September 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 ok, i will do that when i get a 4-finger lever, why is it good to file/cut it away? is there a lot of stress in the lever because of that 2 "cornors"?
