lewis :) Posted April 16, 2006 Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 05's are poo... you can't bodge the tpa if it brakes but i like the design of it for a front brake... reminds me of a disk brake leaver... don't ask Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 Yeah, i prefer the 04's. I've got big hands. Magura need to get their TPA design sorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeCottTrials Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 i think 05's are great, ive not had any problems at all. and there way more comfy than the 04's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alastair Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 04's are much better than 05's in my opinion, mainly because i find there is a better pull on the 04, this could be due to the need to bleed my brake desperatly.Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Ward Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 I much prefer the 05's but maybe thats because i havent rode with anything else.05's are poo... you can't bodge the tpa if it brakes but i like the design of it for a front brake... reminds me of a disk brake leaver... don't ask Yes you can bodge them, Edd Potts (dave85 on here) has done mine for me and its great, plus it looks uber pimp.sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeNi Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 (edited) 05= 04= I'm not sure about 05 levers but with 04 you get a choice or colours so you can match the colour scheme of your bike. i think 04 levers are much more reliable a much better design and i find them way more comfy that the 05s!...

poopipe Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 05 brake leavers are crap when u land big drops it digs in to your fingers well bad it kills danny move the lever further from the end of the bars and it won't crush your fingers. how much difference does the choice between 2 overlong, uncomfortable levers really make? - except that the tpa pokes out enough to stab you on the 04s and doesn't on the 05s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infurnass Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 I prefer 2004 version, less harsh on ur fingures but i have snapped 3 of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
