rudirudirudirudirudi Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 ok, to put this simply, my maggie is bien sh*t. It bites like a baby and holds terribly. i have green rock pads quite worn down but still about 4/5 mm left. i dont see any reason why that should affect the performance. i gave the magura a fresh bleed, and my echo 06 rim(i think) a fresh fairly deep grind. i also cleaned the pads and it still performs like sh*t. I have got some ali c joypads but i need some tensile mounts to fit them as my frame is real narrow. the pads used too be great but i think theyve just got worse since iv got the new wheel.( 06 echo). what should i do???

ManxTrialSpaz Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 (edited) What rim did you have before? cus Echo rims don't aggree too much with being ground. Edited June 10, 2007 by ManxTrialSpaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan6061 Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 Sand the rim down so it's smooth, and get yourself some Zoo pads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudirudirudirudirudi Posted June 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 iv never tryed zoo pads. i used to run smooth rims and the brake kept slipping. i was thinking about smooth rims or rear disc because it just seems a waste of rims when you keep grinding them. so zoo pads are good no?

Ryan Blackwell Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 I dont think that green rock pads go well with a deep grind mate they say there made for a smooth rim.That could be why or maybe you have some air trapped in the magura so maybe try bleed it again.Cheers.
