dannytrialskid Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 Not liking my Echo brakes any more. Only had them a few months, but prefered my Magura 05's so much more. Bidding on some 05 Magys at the moment, if I don't win them then I will end up getting the 2011 ones. Just wondering what they are like? Any common problems with them? - Can you change the lever blade if you snap them or do you have to buy a whole lever set? Saw that you can buy a long lever blade for the 2011 one from TrialProd, but they dont sell them on Tarty?

If you want the four finger lever on a black body then what's wrong with the HS11 from Tarty? It is exactly the same brake and if you are hugely bothered you can change the cap with these to make it into a HS33 effectively: http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/rim_brake_spares/magura_2011_lever_cover/c5p11390.html I've been running 2011 HS33's for a year now and I've had no problems with them at all. - I have the 4-finger HS11 on my Pitbull and have just bought another for a new project Edited February 22, 2012 by Theta2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theta2 Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 Whats the difference between Hs11 and Hs33? In the 2011s it's that cover. That is all. From Tarty '-Brand new for 2011, Magura have completely overhauled their HS11 brake, bringing it in line with the new HS33 in terms of functionality.' It is the same brake other than the cover and the hose cover. http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/rim_brake_spares/magura_2011_hose_covers/c5p11529.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p_ruskin Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 the blades are pinned in anyway, so if you break a lever (which i havent heard of with the new models) you just buy a new full lever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narrowbars Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 Ok and in terms of changing a lever blade if it breaks? Hs33 with four finger blade (no postage charge + you get the brake clamps ect (sell on ebay for £10 all day, + they take paypal and don't charge for it) the blades are pinned in anyway, so if you break a lever (which i havent heard of with the new models) you just buy a new full lever No Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isitafox Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 I've had a set of 2011's since they came out. Great brakes, comfy, you don't have to mess around removing grips to get them on and off. Buy some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theta2 Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 To change the blade there is a pin which can be tapped out using a small drift and a hammer, pop in the new blade and push the pin back in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannytrialskid Posted February 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 But what I don't understand is if the HS11 and the HS33 are exactly the same except for the hose covers, what is the point in making two? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because people will still buy the HS33 because it says HS33 on the box. They are the same, hence the prices aren't sooo far apart Edited February 22, 2012 by Theta2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
