Gee-Campbell Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 Hey, just wondering, has anyone else had any problems with their echo TR levers? for a few months now most the fluid i put in seems to leak out at the lever, but just a bit a day until eventually the brake doesn't work anymore. Ive checked the seals and they seem fine, i use water and a bit of vodka to bleed the brake, all the bolts seem tight enough to not let any fluid through. Any ideas on how i can fix this, or is it just the lever? ive heard this has happened to people before with this lever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
err Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 apparently echo levers don't hold a water bleed very well, although i've never tried it myself. i use monty oil which is thinner than standard maggie oil, but thicker than water and it's not leaked yet, fingers crossed!

Mark W Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 I usually find a nice single malt does the trick. Anything - for example - like an 18-year-old single malt from the Isle of Jura is ideal, e.g. this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they are designed for wide trials rims something like 42mm wide and over if you have 100mm space between the 4-bolt mount on your frame. Thats why some people buy echo levers and use magura hs33 cyclinders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
