aaron-i'anson Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 Hi, I'm getting so many problems with my Magura. I run front and rear, Both bled with water but its always my rear one what f**ks up. Nothing on the brake leeks its all good but what keeps happening is, The slave cylinder on one side returns really slowly and makes the brake drag really bad. I have tried to resolve this problem so many times bought a whole new brake and even bought just slaves on their own but, Nothing helps its after a few weeks it just starts doing it again all my other riding friends don't get it but i do.Can anyone help please would be appreciated loads.cheers Aaron.

Mark W Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 Have you tried lubing the pistons up? Just take the wheel and pads out, get someone to pull the lever whilst you cover one of the pistons with your finger (so the other one pushes out further), then spray that with GT-85. Pump the lever a few times, wipe it clean, spray again, then repeat that until it stops coming out all skanky. Do one more spray with GT-85 to lube it, then do the same to the other side. It's always sorted it for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Arnold Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 wind the TPA out, set up your brake without using the TPA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krisboats Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 Wind your tpa out and switch your pads around, put the left pad in the right and the right in the left, but keep them facing the same way. Worked for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBProductions Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 Any local bike shop or online from crc I think. Might be worth using silicone spray on them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 Ta-daaaaaaaa That's just the first place I got on Google, so if you shop around you may find it cheaper. £2.98 a can is a pretty decent amount anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
