mcajh Posted May 27, 2005 Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 Air will be pumped into the system when you pull the lever. There is air sitting at the top of the reservior so can't be used upside down. Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thornabytrials.co.uk Posted May 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 same size front rotor etc? it was a rear brake once put on the front do you use the same size rotor?? its summat lke a 145mm rotor rear. will it still be 145 on the front Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartridge Posted May 27, 2005 Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 145 rear = #5 caliper. On the front, that means a 165 rotor. It all goes to put when you try and swap them round Stu, not really worth it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thornabytrials.co.uk Posted May 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 hmm. i will have a look but i think tart is right, if i remember right iwas gonna do it before but didnt due to the disk size reason.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave33 Posted May 27, 2005 Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 you could do it if you ran the lever on the left side and put ur maggy lever on the right and got a bigger disc you would have to get used to the new lever arangement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoppellStereo Posted May 27, 2005 Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 its very possible, i ran a left lever on the right side for months (Y) :D im suprised i dont have any good pictures of it, or atleas i cant find them. here is the picture :- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcajh Posted May 27, 2005 Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 There will be air in the lever reservior though. Unless you can get the top cap and diaphragm on the lever without letting any air in (Y) . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoppellStereo Posted May 27, 2005 Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 mine didnt get air, i had i positioned to that the top was more upwards so no air would go in, hope says you just cant have it completely upaide down :S :turned: :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
