Crazybiker Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 What do you mean topping out? Do you mean that the lever is able to touch thebars and still not lock the brake? There is a number of causes for this but the most likely is that the seals are broken, checkaround the lever and the slaves for any oil that has leaked out. If this is the case then you willneed to change the offending seal.Also check the hose for any kinks/ wear e.g. the tyre rubbing on it, this could cause an air leakmeaning a new hose is required. It is possible to bodge this by covering the worn area in Epoxybut a new hose will be much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamtrials Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 Also possibly check for cracks on the lever or anywhere, longshot... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rider3 Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 i had the same problem with my brake. take your blade off and put some stones or something small into your piston if that doesnt work then get it bled well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
will17will17 Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 if you have changed the hose at all make sure its proper magura hose because my friend had this problem he used some hose which was too soft so the fluid didn't squash down in the hose and brake didn't work for long, hope this helps, ? will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilman Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 You may have some air bubbles in the line after bleeding the brake. Check that first.Also when bleeding did you adjust the TPA all the way in first? That may be a cause.Matt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
