If they are V mounts on your magura clamps but 4 bolt mounts on the forks then yes you will need smaller bolts. You will also need to replace the clamps with 4 bolt clamps available form good shops such as tartybikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twisted Posted July 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 they are 4 bolt mounts on the forks so will the bolts that come with the 4 bolth clamps definitly fit as j-kay said they changed from 03. theres a pic of the bike with the forks i have.

philking Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 Normal V mounts use M6 bolts to secure the brake on, the magura 4 bolt mounts use M5 (i think), so basically you need to buy 4 M5 bolts - they wont come with new clamps, you will have to buy them seperately. Go to ur LBS and get some bolts from them, thats your best bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes thats normal - forks come with long steerer tubes so that they can fit in frames with long headtubes. Just cut the steerer down so that the top of the tube is about 3mm below the top of the stem - this way when you tighten the top cap it will pull the headset and forks together. Alternatively you can use headset spacers under your stem like these. Again, just pile the spacers up untill the top of the fork steerer tube is about 3mm below the top of the stem. Good Luck.
