zIp-AdE-dOo-DaR Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 yes they do improve your braking as they make it so you get equal brake pad distrobution (pads move at the same time hitting the rim at the same time) they are a lot of hassel to fit as they are an odd shape and the nipples are really big compaired to the size of the inner bit of the hose, i ve had mine for about 3 months now and it is still going strong. although they improve braking the improvement isnt that noticable. if all you want to do is improve your brakes get a good solid booster, some good pads and a nice grind with a wee bit of tar.Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamtrials Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 Theoretically yes, but in practice you are unlikely to notice the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wright Pads Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 Insted of your slaves working as master to slave it makes them master master, thus equal braking, ie both pads move same time!They are okay but only asthetics in looks nowt eles! The feel is not thats noticeable, unless you run the correct slaves and water is good in them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Has anyone seen my shoe? Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 unless water is good in themYou can get good and bad waterOk im going to stop putting down noobies now....On the subject though, they have a reputation of spliting alot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wright Pads Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 The barbs off the spliter is too msall really, also the are a pain to fit and snap easy, the split, crack, snapIf you really want it, Hope hose kit for Magura + extra fitting and a Hopt T-line it works just the same but not splitting and better feel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planet x alan Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 i wouldnt have thought that the splitter would make much of a difference, the normal cross over would last longer i think, and if they're not moving at the same time, as soon as 1 pad touches the rim, the other one moves in aswell. honestly dont think there would be much difference. and the splitter i reckon is just another thing to snap.keep it simple......less things go snap imo!

max-t Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 (edited) i think that the splitter is better than having the crap crossover bit that always gets mangledby passing ankles,bums and legs.with the oil splitter,hose splitter,oil conpensator or whatever you want to call it , the hose is kept tucked away and not hanging in a more vulnerable place.and also it does distribute the braking power more and makes your brake more power efficiant.max....Edit: hope i worded that correctly Edited October 9, 2006 by max-t Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
