Montybiker41 Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 On my Monty 220 hydra, I have a Magura Clara disk in the front and a HS 33 in the back. About 4 months ago, I had them reblead to be set up motcross style (front on the right, back on the left). Now, my rear brake has been leaking a lot of fluid and I have been having to adjust the brake a lot and tighten them up..... What do I do?

aaron-i'anson Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 Try and find where the leak is coming from then, Tell us where you found the fluid seeping out. This may mean take the whole brake apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F-Stop Junkie Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 Did you just swap the levers over on the bars, or did you hook your HS-33 to the Clara lever, and your Clara to the HS-33 lever? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montybiker41 Posted October 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 First, I got a right hand lever for the clara and then took he HS33 lever and turned it upside down. Then I took it to a bike shop and it was reblead and assembled for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JT! Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 Then I took it to a bike shop and it was reblead and assembled for me.Go back to that bikeshop and tell them it's leaking. If it was fine befor, and wasn't afterwards, it's their problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montybiker41 Posted October 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 Jt, I LOVE your style it seams to be leaking from the main caliper on the right hand side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Beckett Posted October 14, 2006 Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 Then I took it to a bike shop and it was reblead and assembled for me.yeah i agree 'JT' if it was fine before hand then it is faulty after the shop worked on it then it is their problem, if it's a shop called 'GILES or DENTONS' then they will say you done it whilst riding it, or it was faulty when they worked on it, so you just need to say you haven't ridden it (it leaked when you tested the lever by pulling it). and it was fine before you took it to them.

Montybiker41 Posted October 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 I agree with this, but this was about four months ago. Also, they know me as one of the four local trials riders in town, obviously, me being one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
