trialsiain Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 sorry i know i always have problems with my magura but this is it on its last legs i think now, the piston swelled a bit so i sanded didnt work sanded again didnt work sanded again didnt work then sprayed shit loads of silicon oil into the hole and it started moving freely so i rebled. i ws pulling brake lever and it felt shit and piston was getting stuck in again and i kept pumping lever and there was this like huge pop and water pissed everywhere all over the floor. i took lever off and piston came out and tw%tted my thumb pretty hard, i put it all in again rebled and it done same thing this is what it was like before it exploded http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dpC9T1n_WQ&feature=youtu.be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevinfor Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Any chance an echo tr piston would fit? Tartybikes sell them altough they are out of stock right now. I had a quick google and couldnt find anyone selling them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dannytrialskid Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 As I said before, it's your piston. Happened to me a few weeks ago. Get a new one and it will be fine. The Echo Tr piston does fit, that's what I use. Easy and simple fix. You can ask Ben @ TrialsAddict as I believe he has some pistons, you may need to email him though as I don't think they are on his website.

AdamR28 Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 If there's anything you don't need its a new piston, it's the least likely part of the brake to have a non-fixable issue. Take the lever off and check if it's actually getting stuck, then you can decide what to do next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamR28 Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 how do i check if its getting stuck ? It will get stuck. There's no other way to describe it really! Did you leave the seal on when you sanded the piston? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A.Baxter Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 I had this issue not log ago my mate had already had the issue and sorted it for me straight away. Basically you much remove the piston and sand it. I know you said you have done this, so when you did it did you you leave the seal on it ? If so you need a new seal as it will have been damaged and that's why it's leaking I hope you understand what I mean, if not let me know and ill explain again man. Adam.
