fezzer Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 help me, only one off my pads move on each of my brakes, the other pad is right next to my rim, i've heard that bleeding u're brakes with water makes both the pads move, is this true? if not, what can i do to make both the pads move?

Ash-Kennard Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 (edited) Turn the little red knob on your lever fully off, then turn it so the pads are just starting to move, then undo all the bolts and set your brake up again. EDIT: make sure you set the pads at an equal distance from the rim. Edited October 25, 2005 by ash-kennard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshywa Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 depends how your brake is set up but it allways works like this: one cylinder fills and then the other fills so no water should work the same (just more responsive) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wayneone Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 Taken from the mgura cult homepage http://www.execulink.com/~dtierney/wmc/Magura/contents.htm Q - One of my pads at the rear doesn't retract fully. Why? A. This is a biggie and it gives lots of people problems! You have your pad adjuster (TPA on HS-33's or allen screw on HS-22's) screwed in too far. This is just a weird characteristic of hydraulic brakes. Screw the pad adjuster all the way out and try again. The pad retracts now? Good - then make the major adjustment of moving the slave cylinder inwards by loosening the Evolution Adaptor brackets. These brackets may be switched side-to-side to get more adjustment.
