Ash-Kennard Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 well before you destroy your rim, get a shop to show you how to bleed your brakes, then go out and buy some majic pads. tell me your brake doesnt work then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan6061 Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 Why are you going to saw your rim!? Anyhoo... Get a bleed kit first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaffacakes Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 (edited) 1: Take the maguras off your bike and put them fully submerged in a sink full of water.2: Unscrew the little grub bolt on the lever (right next to the cable)3: Unscrew the bolt on the caliper (there is only one bolt there so it's not hard to find)4: Make sure the TPA is fully unwound.5: Keeping the lever fully submerged under water pump the lever a 4-5 times normaly.6: Put your finger over the whole on the lever you took your bolt out of and pump 5 times then take your finger off the hole and slowly let the lever go back out.7: Do step 6 until no oil comes out and you feel resonable happy with it.8: Do the bolts back up under water and you will have a nice bleed.9: If you wan't to get ALL the oil let the water out the sink and play with the lever for a while just normaly pumping it then refil the sink and do steps 1-8 again.EDIT: Whoo im slow off the mark .

!aNT! Posted February 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 its a different technique which my mate used and it worked dam well! its as deep as a grind, so not to deep, but its linescriss cross!! it looks good to! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash-Kennard Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 will also take months to do, will wear out your pads quicker (will work like a cheese grater) and you will get about 6780621 people asking how you did your rim every ride.

trials_man Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 Hi Ant. The way i bled my hs33's was to get a large syringe and fill it with magura oil. To bleed it i left the little screw bolt slightly unscrewed to let all the air bubbles out. Once there was no more air bubbles coming out, just oil i screwed the cap back on and hey presto , one bled brake!, Once you have done it, I think you will find it isnt as hard as you thought it would be!
