Boswell Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 A while back i purchased some hope braided hosing for my magura hs33 and i have found i have had a mushy pull ever since. What causes this and have any of you lot have the same problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Quigley Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 Might not be bleed properly i.e. Air in the brake.Try rebleeding it and see how it goes.Are you using water or oil in your brake? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harmertrials Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 Follow the tips in the magura problem thread mate. I have goodridge braided hoses and they're wicked, it needs a re-bleed by the sounds of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ewannnn Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 Maybe the braided hosing is alot longer than your plastic hosing was? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Up'n'away Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 listen to what most of the people said, its blatently a airy bleed? Why not try rebleed and find out?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boswell Posted May 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 *UPDATE*I have given it a rebleed and it hasn't worked, i am now considering downgrading back to plastic hosing and selling the braided. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
