Thanks for ur help has your slaves moved out because you might of not tightened them properly. but if they haven't i would give it a re bleed with anti freeze and water also check all your bolts are tight and your hose is fine and jobs a good n.chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoNnY__Mc Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 Alrite mate, sounds to me like either:- You haven't tightened the bolts up tight enough on the clamps and the cylinders have just moved. or- You have popped your hose, try looking to see if/where any water/oil is coming out when you pull the lever Check the crossovers etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
padarik Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 (edited) check at the brake mount as sad^^^^^ if its not that check from the lever all way down the hosin to your calipers if its not moist from fluid then lastly check your tpa they can loose ther thread on the 05 models. if so get in contact with edd potts , he can sort you some metal ones i do beleave thanks padarik Edited January 22, 2007 by padarik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urban legend. Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 Sounds like you might of popped your seal in the lever.Try and bleed it then check the brake for leaks as your doing so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flas12345 Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 sound like you have poped your brake. bleed your brake and try again, if the same happens then there is certainly something wrong. cheque the crossover pipe as it often happens here, it happened to my mate a few week ago. if it isnt this just cheque all your brake because will certainly be something wrong with it.

gianttrials Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 (edited) Hi there mate, if you bleed them and everything else mentioned and they still don't work you should be able to get them repaired or better still replaced by magura (if your the original owner/and there under warranty). Have a look on maguras website or contact venhill (importers for magura uk/atleast i think they still are),hope this helps,Ben g WST Edited January 22, 2007 by gianttrials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
