Clawz114 Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 hi, i was wondering if anyone else has had problems with the magura 2005's. The TPA screws always seem to get jammed for me . does anyone else have this problem???Clawz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anzo Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 Common problem, simply because they are plastic, tacky shite. Best bet is to go for the 04 lever and bodge it with a bolt. Or, get hold of a metal screw (replace the red plastic one). Do a search, millions of topics on it. My opinion is to go 2004. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickyb Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 I had the same problem with mine a while ago the best thing you can do is get rid of the leaver body or bodge the TPA if that is posible on the new maggies i'm not sure if you can, but there has been a lot of the same problem and i mean a lot they always f**k upthe 05 leaver bodys. so i think you should get rid of the 05 one and get a 04 one they work a lot better.hope i'v helped rickyb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Oliver Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 In my opinion the 05s last longer but are not as easy to bodge, my dad isbodging my 05 as i type Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akira_Shock! Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 2005 Magura levers do generally seem to have faulty TPA's, a couple of people I ride with have had problems, but it is certainly fixable, one of them some how re-tapped it or something, making the threads smoother, and it worked again. I'm not entirely sure how he did it, but he pulled it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
human_furball Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 Yeah I'm having problems aswell in that I can't find them cheaper then £110 unless I find them used which I don't want to do or on ebay which is where someone says it's not used but you can tell it is.It would also help if I had a bike lol went to check 1 out yesterday but it was a mod and im to big for one of them.Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying pushing it really hard, mine did it before but its been fine ever since.CheersWilky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaffacakes Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 (edited) Or you could just buy new 04 levers from tarty bikes or CRC and sort out the rest your self. All you need a 8mm spaner and a tub of water to re-bleed them. It will cost you £60 max.If your only having trouble with one lever why not just replace one lever?CRC £30 levershttp://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=6003£100 There 2005 maggies...

<PACE> Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 My brother managed to get a metal TPA somehow. I can't remember exactly, he may have done a bodge job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
