Bleeding Magura Louise Discs?

[Joe_Elding]

Okay I'm definately sure my brake needs a re-bleed 'because ive set it up so te pads are on the rotor completely and the lever squeezes in.

Anyway how do you do it?

I've heard you just fill the reservoir up, pump the lever and repeat until no bubbles come out anymore?

Is that true, I've had a look at the magura website but don't understand it.

Any how to's anywhere, is it the same for hope discs?

Cheers

you can bleed the brake like that but its a bit of a shortcut and the brake will feel crap

you will need:

-bleed kit (sirynge, tube, connecter for screwing into caliper)

-mineral oil (preferibly magura blood)

-allen keys

-think magura resevoirs use a small torx bit, so that too

lean bike up against wall, position brake lever so resevoir is sitting horizontal, fill up syringe with magura blood/any other suitable fluid, make sure there's no air bubbles in tube or syringe

unscrew grub screw from disc caliper and srew in tubing using attatchment on bleed kit, only needs to be hand tight, now unscrew the resevoir top cap from the brake lever, you might want to put an old basin under the brake lever at this point

pump the fluid through the syringe, you should see fluid overflowing from the resevoir at this point, keep doing this until the fluid overflowing looks like the new stuff and until theres no air bubbles coming out

now replace the resevoir top cap and then remove the syringe and tighten the grub screw back into the caliper

jobs a good un' :)

Cheers is it the same size caliper fitting thing as for an hs33?

ermm, i can't remember what the difference between louise and the other disc that magura make, bled both recently at work

but. . .

you'll be able to tell by looking at it, if the grub screw uses a 3mm allen key then its the same as hs33

Big bump.

But i am in this position.

It sound like the first post is easiest way to bleed.

How should i do it?
