rhythm_101 Posted April 29, 2005 Report Share Posted April 29, 2005 right, i am now the proud owner of a nice and shiny rb lever (thankyou mr quick_spider! :S ) now, am i right in thinking that when i remove the hosing i will need to fit a new olive?, secondly, i've been toying with the idea of bleeding my brakes with water, but perhaps with the rb lever blade its not such a good idea due to the seals, i remeber someone saying you could bleed them with shock oil, is this true? if so the what viscosity? thirdly, the rb came with some spare seals, is there anywhere with a discription of how to dismantle/re-build the lever? and finaly, i also want to fit my unex hose to my magura luiseFR disc, but it requires a torx key, number 7 i believe, does anyone know where i could buy a cheapy one, as the one on CRC is 6 quid (Y) thanks in advance :P (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urpedigreechumdog Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 Right, you will not need to fit a new olive on your hose unless the current one is totally screwed, or it's brand new hose. I bleed my brake with de-ionised water (used with car batteries :S ) and it is fine. Not sure about shock oil >_< Also when you bleed the RB, make sure to take out the ball bearing behind the bleed screw (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philking Posted May 1, 2005 Report Share Posted May 1, 2005 bump...........................anyone else :S ← Make sure you put the ball bearing back in after bleeding aswell! lol The levers are very easy to dismantle, simple to do and not many parts. They are pretty self explainitry really. Yes water is fine in them, i used it for a while, then went onto magura royal blue blood, which is also good in them. As for the torque key, have you tried borrowing one maybe from a LBS? If they dont have one then i guess you'll just have to spend the cash :lol:" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nb88 Posted May 2, 2005 Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 Just wondering - is the ball bearing in the RB just a replacement for a grub screw? If so could i use a normal magura one in the RB? Noz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
