Jenga Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 This is my old Monty 221, probably from 2004 or 2005. I just took it from my brother garage, changed front tire and checked brakes. I'm a total newbie, I am learning basic moves (lateral jumps, nose, pivots...) so it does its job so far. Does any of you knows which Magura Rim brakes are this? There are no codes or labels, on the lever there is only "Quick Silver"... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 Just your standard pre 2005 HS33 brakes. Not a big fan of the new Montys but I have a soft spot for these older models Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harmertrials Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 This is sweet! Love the green and silver, bet it's so fun on 2 wheels. Yeah as above, 2004 magura hs33 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah as above, 2004 magura hs33 Thanks all, so a standard Magura Service Kit will be ok! I just made a mess with front brake... I broke the brake... (ok, please don't kill me for this stupid joke... I'm Italian and I'm silly). I fell down and the handlebar made a 180... so the hose "left" the Y connector... oil and fear everywhere... Do you think that connecting the pads in the "modern" way (like recent Magura HS33, a pad connected with the other that is connected to the lever, without the Y thing) is possible? Thanks in advance!

isitafox Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 Yeah they're no different in terms of the actual brake system it's just a different way of setting them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenga Posted December 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 In my complete inexperience, it seem easier to bleed without the Y... I'll try to put together as it was... let's see how it brakes after the work! thanks a lot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
