Hydraulic brakes
MAGURA hydraulic brakes use low viscosity mi-
neral oil that, contrary to DOT brake liquid
used in cars, does not absorb water.Thus, you
don't have to change the oil. Please read the
M
AGURA manual that comes with the bike.You
will find more detailed maintenance instruc-
tions in the manual "Workshop" that is availa-
ble for download from MAGURA at www.magu-
ra.com. In case of a damaged hose or any lea-
kage of oil always consult a qualified technician
in a bike shop.
Hydraulic rim brakes
To balance the wear of the brake pads there is
a turning knob at the brake lever.Turn this
knob anti clockwise to move the pads closer
to the rim.As soon as the knob doesn't turn
anymore the brake pads have to be exchanged.
Before you change the pads turn the knob
clockwise as far as it will go, back to the initial
position.
The brake caliper is bolted to the frame with
M6 screws, tightening torque is 6 Nm.To
achieve the perfect alignment of brake caliper
and rotor, tiny washers of 0,2 mm thickness
can be added between brake caliper and frame
fittings.
Brakes
Caution! Never activate the lever blade wi-
thout the brake pads in place and with the
wheel dismounted.When you transport the
bicycle without wheels always use the trans-
port clips delivered with your bike or put a
piece of cardboard in the brake caliper to
replace the disc. Carefully separate brake
pads that have moved together with a
screwdriver.
Danger! All maintenance work on the hy-
draulic system of your brakes may only be
carried out by a qualified technician. In case
these works are carried out without the re-
quired knowledge and skills the brake
system might fail which can lead to a serious
crash.
