Synergy Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 ok i had an echo brake worked awesome it broke, bought an 05 magura brand new fitted it, put some rock pads on cncd backings on it. the problem im having now is that i cant seem to get a kick, when i go to sidehop it seems harder to kick for sum reason. im not sure if its the brake or if it cud be because i was used to water bleed now got a oil bleed and its not retracting as quick? so really im looking for some other ideas, the pads dnt rub when the brakes of so im a bit puzzled.

I sometimes pull without realising, as stupid as it sounds, it does happen.Try to work around it, and (if you are grabbing it without realising), you might get out of the newly found habit!

King C Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 That happened to me today, except I didnt change anything. I had to take my rear wheel out last night, boshed it back in this morning and now this happens. Its as if I have too much tar on the rim and it sticks but the rim is tar free and being rockpads they're not the quietest pads ever which is abit annoying. it stops me from kicking properly and is really annoying.So yea, help?

aener Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 Might be a stupid idea, but @ Synergy:Is your booster rubbing atall? (If you have one) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat Smith! Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 Make sure all your bolts are tight, might be your rim flexing also.(magura and wheel bolts btw.)Mat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
