Ive got an 05 magura hs33 and to be honest at the moment its crap it keeps slipping whenever i hop and hasnt had a fluid change since i got it on 09, can i just stick water in it for now until i get fluid? or what else can i put in it? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bing Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 give it a bath bleed, use the link in revolvers sig if it still works. flush the system out with some sort of cleaner first so it gets all the gunked up shit out. new pads and a good bleed should sort right out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ginge Posted November 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 How do you actually blead it, never done it before and sound wont work on video on my phone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 err. Basically you cover over one of the bleed holes, pull the lever in, then while you're stil holding it, remove your finger and cover up the other bleed hole and let the lever out. Repeat this until there's no bubbles or oil coming out, then repeat but in the opposite order, so you start covering the one you left open before. Repeat until no air or bubbles come out. Then keep it underwater and screw the bolts back in, then you're good to go! I better get some rep for this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use a syringe pretty often as it doesn't require setting up the brake again, sometimes requires a few more goes to get a perfect bleed but it can be a fair bit easier.
