jonny_smith Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 hijust a quick question this one, what does evrybody think to the hope braided hosing for maggies (rear). My dad sayz it would be a good idea to put it on but what do you lot think? I'm not bothering with the front because that will be replaced by a BB7 in the next couple of months, its just the rear i would be putting it on if i get it.Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monty kid Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 i would say its a good idea because it stops the pipes from sweling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abe Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 it is an ok idea but, the standard magura pipe does only expand over time,so if you can bleed brakes your self then that is a good option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben.richardson Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 (edited) The braiding doesn't always work. the braiding is covered by a transparent plastic tube ,as soon as that rips or splits your braiding will start to fray and blood will seep out , its just happened to a friend of mine.Just run a booster to cover the hosing and protect it.

Nick Garland Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Mine seems fine at the moment, I have caught it slightly and taken abit of the plastic covering away, but its ok at the moment, been like that for a month now. Seems alot stronger, if it was standard plastic hose it would have snapped when I hit it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
