Ogginz Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 I got a set of the new HS33's just before christmas, and I noticed that they were leaking from the front lever. A few of my freinds have the same problem aswell. Recently its got so bad that after a bleed, all the pressure is lost by the end of a ride! Is this a manufacturing problem and what can I do about it? Cheers everyone, Olly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sir trial a lot Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 one of my mates has gone through 4 stes of magura h3ss 2005 models in 3 months! magura have sent him new ones every time although this is still not good because he has had to just watch on some rides etc due to having no brakes :D i say stick with 04! i hace no bother with mine and although we stay out of the sand the best we can at our riding spot (near the beach a certain amount of sand gets into these places and my 2004 hs33`s are still going strong!

Waynio Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 through our shop we havent had one leak yet? i personally have only broken one lever and it took a fair clout, i dont even think a 2004 would have survived it either. like someone above said it they have 5year leakproof guarantee. the 05 i personally feel are better some people like the old ones but havent really ridden with an 05 one for more than a week or so.iv had mine on since september last year when they 1st came out and havent looked back. feel nicer and better shape for me personally. just stick with it if you have problems magura WILL sort you out the lads at Magura UK are kool.

spider Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 maybe find only a lever of 2004 and replace it. i think that the slave cilenders are the same. do they stiil making 2004 levers? if they do, get one. proven quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

munkee Posted April 22, 2005 Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 i went through the same problem with maguas infact i went through so many i found that a blue coloured lever leaked 3 times more than black but silver was the best. haha how sad is that by the way there is absalutely no correlation between lever colour and leakage just my luck of the draw. Also the colour of the wipe seals seemed to change half way through the year from white to red. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
