Thought I would show you this faq done by onzaboymark as I have found it really usefull and im sure you guys will aswell (Y)

So here goes...

Holy crap, there is actually a working Magura TPA FAQ now :)

Right, here's the pics:

IPB Image

First of all, you should have a little piston attached to your lever. The little flappy thing that'll probably fall off and go underneath whatever cupboard/box/pallets/friend you've got around. That's not in this pic, 'cos I lost the one off this lever blade.

Don't worry aobut it for now ;)

1. First of all, make like the top left picture and jimmy off your red TPA knob with a screw-driver/gnarled claw.

2.Now, you should be like the top right picture. You'll again want to use a biro/pen/pencil/screwdriver/allen key to push out the little metal sleeve inside the lever bolt hole.

3.After doing this, you'll move on to the bottom left pic. The little flat piece of metal that the little pistony bit was attached to is now a seperate entity.

4.Following on from this, moving onto the middle picture, take the TPA bolt bit out of the lever blade by pushing it down from where the red knob formerly was.

5.After this is out, you'll probably have the little square nut in one hand with a bit of bolt in it, and then a seperate little bit which is the sheared part. This sheared part is what was stopping your TPA working before.

6.Get the sheared part OUT of that square nut. It's not doing you or your image any favours.

Once that's out, you'll be at the stage of the bottom right picture.

7.Now, you'll need to get your M5 bolt ready (same thickness as a 4-bolt Magura bolt (Y)

8.Push the little square nut up through the bottom of the lever blade (so you're just rebuilding it).

9.Once that's poking it's ugly head out of the top of your lever blade, screw the M5 bolt a little way in (just to hold it in place (Y) .

10.Once this is done, push the bit of metal that formerly had the TPA bolt on it (the bit that sheared. I'm talking about the little U-shaped bit of metal). Push that up underneath the square nut.

11.Having done this, push the flat bit of metal we spoke about earlier (which the piston was attached to?) up into the lever body as you took it out.

12.Push the little metal sleeve back in. Mark's Warning: This can be a bitch to do. Just force it ;)

13.Once this is done, push the piston back into place (you push it in at an angle and it'll go in easy. Pretty obvious though :) .

14.You now have a bodged (it actually works better...) TPA.

Woo.

Mark

NOTE: The lever blade in question has a working TPA, hence the non-sheared bolt. Just to clear that up :)

Hope all goes well and you find it usefull (Y)

I understand what some of the members are saying, there is a place for this to go on the forum.

But I also believe you have been really helpfull to post this, I have used this faq by mark and trials forum at first can be kind of confusing for new members to find faq's like this. I'm sure many people will find it usefull (Y)

It's not like your posting pointless topics about things no one wants to know about ;)
