MaderaMark Posted Friday at 01:30 AM Report Share Posted Friday at 01:30 AM I am currently using the classic MT2/MT4 (BAT) levers and it felt so good due to its long lever blade compared to my shigura. Few days ago I started to see some oil leak near the clamp and started to prepare before the worst happens. I was thinking if I go with this MTSix, some parts of my old levers will be compatible (hopefully) or move on to new versions? Cheers!

Szymon Posted Friday at 06:30 AM Report Share Posted Friday at 06:30 AM These brake levers are completely different. The old one looks more like the new HS33. https://www.ebay.pl/itm/205008770703?_skw=magura+mt4&itmmeta=01J8S2P9TEZED6MMC6TCM542C4&hash=item2fbb79968f:g:EA8AAOSwB2pjljSm&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA4HoV3kP08IDx%2BKZ9MfhVJKkDLHzZkGnRfwsQL9MOz3nFzhRRPlnDzFmR2P4193CJ2UiLZ3Zwx52bd1P5z7vqobZtNT9NJ9%2F7%2FB4qSVSQqFVbbIsUNh9XPqCPrkjbV%2FnCci2XLbRJT91j%2BXlMr7joNURfeAyB4%2BLZWTkJcTioNwlkHJ7RDFjQmX4YAx3JuPRJXK%2Bwq2jXytiD06pej9TB2B3xrTlXkELV28wkMiZQvE0Y2RmtxQ9Tw39FFY5LD1UAEi9WTJ%2BSbvDeF5xZrzHhhlsnmRB4yfHsyOAzewBD9VVd|tkp%3ABk9SR6id2aLGZA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaderaMark Posted Saturday at 03:40 AM Author Report Share Posted Saturday at 03:40 AM This is what I currently use. Though due to aging, some parts were already started to show oil leaks. Anyone can suggest, performance wise and some reliability.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daan Posted yesterday at 06:21 AM Report Share Posted yesterday at 06:21 AM (edited) Have a look at the Shimano M4100 lever, it's also got a very long lever blade. No servo wave, and slightly smaller MC diameter than Magura, so should give a similar feel with perhaps slightly more power. Only thing is it needs even more room than the Magura lever to set up for one finger braking. I personally couldn't use them with an Inspired Arcade bar (these have quite a short grip section) because of this, couldn't move them far enough inboard. Ymmv with other bars, yours looks like it might just work. Edited yesterday at 06:23 AM by Daan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Szymon Posted 3 hours ago Report Share Posted 3 hours ago The best brake I have used and have is Shigura M665, M775 or M810. They are used by Clement Moreno and Euan Beaden. It's a good idea to install the rear brake on a steel-braided cable. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKOJvwzVQ4M&t=1s&ab_channel=ClementMoreno https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIRQgEjDaec&t=98s&ab_channel=EuanBeaden 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have small hands being typical small person, I am also looking forward on those classic long lever blades from shimano and still searching....

Szymon Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago I tried the Shigura on the new SLX M7100 levers and removed them after 1 ride. These Shimano radials are like Magura, only made of aluminum. I also have small hands (XS/S gloves). And these levers are great. Just hard to buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
