Just bleed the brake normally, just with water instead of Oil (Y) :D

In my opinion a water bleed feels nicer. :-

EDIT: Just found this :D

1.Fill bath

2.Submerge brake

3.Undo bleed bolts

4.Attach bleed tube, but don't bother with vent tube, no need!!

5.Fill syringe with water and put on bleed tube.

6.Bleed the brake as normal, **all underwater**

7.Do it a few times to really get rid of air.

8.Remove bleed tube and do back up bleed bolts. (Underwater)

Lever: Standard Magura

Calipers: Standard Magura

Hose: Magura black

Bleed with: Water

Brake mounts: Gay Evo Mounts

Pads: Heatsink Konigs

Rim: BMF with very dead grind.

Booster: Tektro Vee

It doesn't work (Y) I need to grind my rim again, but since an accident with an angle grinder, I'm dead scared to go near a grinder again. It's even getting tempting to cheat with tar :- I also desperately need a frame with 4 bolt mounts as Evo mounts are officially wank.

Lever: Silver hs33 body with RB blade

Caliper: Standard black hs33

Hose: Black magura, with monty splitter, bled with magura oil

Mounts: 4bolt

Pads: Paaa pads(a guy over here makes them)

Rim: 47mm koxx, fresh grind and tar

Booster: Shimano xtr carbon, drilled to 4bolt

Back in the old days when I had a d521 with a worn grind and no tar, evo mounts, paaa pads, my brake was excellent.

But I've never had a good brake with the koxx rim, altough I've tried lots of different pads(coust, plaz crm, brown bloxx) and the brake is set up nice and flat. I think, that maybe it's in the rim.. I have a DX32 over here waiting for my king hub, which I hope will solve the problem.

Hose: black plastic maggie

Bleed with: water

Brake mounts: 4 bolt

Pads: coustellier

Rim: echo with a DEAD grind

Booster: shimano xtr drilled to 4-bolt

immense brake is that. the only problem i have it that the coust pads wobble so much because the backings are shit. so they wear at wank angles and occasionally randomly rub (Y)" . pad material is good though.
