I've been maintaining bikes for 25 years, and I'd say that's just enough grease! Keeps the water out 👍

Where the start of this track

A 1/8 NPT tap fits perfekt for removing the bushing Just put the tap in a vice, screw the pedal on it and pull. As mentioned before the bushing is not all the way in. Mine was at 14.5mm and the screw cap with the o-ring removed has the perfect size to push the bushing in.

That hose kit is compatible with mt 501 brake lever?

Awesome is the proper word for it but also @Sandykavor8434 is quite right about bushing position.

Hi are these trails still here? Anything else here to ride?

When you pushed the pistons back in you potentially drove contaminants into the caliper; Park tools has a great video on how to prevent this...

I did exactly as you said... Despite downloading HEVC hardware decoder I am unable to open GoPro 360 files and can only open normal videos. :(

what is the difference between xt levers and saint levers

fiire

what size are those bearings?

Outstanding video, even in 2024. Thank you.

For this kind of riding you need the MT7 Raceline, the one that Danny McCaskill promotes (just glad he doesn't have to pay for it ;-) although I must say this brake always locks up my wheels when I want to with just 1 finger.

Hi.I'm going to do the same with my brakes.I'm thinking of using Magura Royal blood oil.Magura oil has a higher viscosity and withstands higher temperatures and heating during operation.What do you think?What pin you use on a hose?Magura or Shimano pin?What ID (inside diameter) BH-90 is 2.1mm wide ID,and BH-59 is 2.5mm ID,the BH-59 pins are made of brass usually,and BH-90 out of stainless steel?Obviously for Magura oil it would be better with a bigger one ID pin.

Thanks man, stopped me from trying to go tubeless on Maxxis Holyrollers. Ride on!

Great explanation, I appreciate your help and time, cheers!

Good thing came across this video. I have a leaky Magura MT5 lever. Tried fixing with a new master cylinder piston but was still leaking. Managed to purchase a set of Shimano SLX M7100 levers at less the price of just 1 Magura lever. Just waiting for my new barbs, olives and bolt in the mail and I'll do the conversion this weekend. Can't wait!

Whats with the slag in the thumbnail

Hi👊 Little suggestion😉 If you are bleeding the lever, it should be in the upper position in relation to the caliper, the point is that the brake hose should go straight from the caliper to the lever so that the air bubbles escape through gravity upwards, and your hose comes out of the top cap, goes up and then in down to the lever and this makes it difficult for air bubbles to travel to the funnel. Regards 🤙

Brilliant dude really enjoyed the video my friend 😊👍🇬🇧

can we use MT200 brake lever on MT7 caliper

10mm rawl bolt works great to get bushings out.

I already got xtr m9120 break set . I want to change my callipers with MT7. Do I still have to do same things with the levers ? Or just change it callipers ? Please help .

I made it to the end....great job mate!!

Nice video. But 😂. The yellow pad spacers are also the bleed block. Just turn it around.

Video and tool worked a treat, thanks

This is incredibly helpful ! Thank you so much. I even managed to watch it all the way to the end ;)

I heard about shigura from my neighbor and he had them on his bike and they were pretty good

That's some sick parcouring! Without any sarcasm, it looks really cool, I'm interested if I could do some stair walking with my mtb hahahahha, even though I'm having a hard time learning to lift up my rear wheel

would this work with tektro calipers with shimano leavers?

Hi, I'm planning use the Magura MT5 brakes (I found a good deal on eBay) with my Shimano Deore XT brake levers (model BL-M800) which barb an olive I should get BH90 or BH59? thank you.

that saint lever reminds me of TRP lever, just the lever

Used this twice now. Most complete and helpful walk through I found. Great job and thanks!

Do you know how these compare with full Saint setup? It seems like I can save some money with Shigura, but I also want the best performance (second to Trickstuff that is).

Watching this as i had a dumb day yesterday doing dumb crashes doing Downhill trails on my Downhill bike as it was the 2nd day in a row id been MTB & it was really hot & i was too tired to be riding in retrospect lol, oh & i pedal my DH rig up half of the hill cos i dont wanna pay for a chairlift & we can just drop in for free, from the council trails into the bike park.. And its the 2nd week ive been back MTB after doing my PCL 4 months ago, so my 4th time back riding, so my confidence is shot & i was overthinking shit lol.. So anyway, i had a dumb crash, one of 3 yesterday, & broke my MT5 rear lever & had to front brake the whole way down the hill which wasnt fun, after attempting to ride down a blue trail with just the front brake & failing miserably haha, washing out on the first switchback, falling over & miraculously avoiding damaging my rehabbing PCL on more rocks haha! So after just walking it till i got to a tarseal road, just front braking down 300m decent was tremendously unenjoyable to say the least!.. So now im DONE with Magura levers & looking at the Shigura set up so this is really informative.. Cheers! :) What i love about the MT5s is the modulation & stopping power in perfect balance. What i now obviously hate about Magura is the levers.. So with the Shigura setup what's the modulation like? Does it improve on shimano which is very off/on i feel, while giving the peace of mind of reliability? Ive run SRAM Codes before & while they have modulation the stopping power is rubbish, I found i had to be on the brakes more. The modulation of the Maguras is awesome while the stopping power is amazing & so reliable. Obviously the levers are terrible.. So is Shigura really the best of both worlds, does it just improve the leaver reliability or the whole braking action itself? Bear in mind im doing either short but steep dark-blue/single black runs, long flow descents or longish but steep dark-blue/single black runs depending where im riding, often 400m vert descents.. Although keeping it to no more than dark blue until I'm fully done with rehabbing..

Thanks!

I have the Shimano brake setup. Can I get just Magura calibers and still do this? Or does it have to be Magura brake system with Shimano levers?

The video quality gets much worse than the original footage once you apply the GoPro FX Reframe plugin and export it from Premiere Pro. Does not matter if my sequence settings is 1080p or 4K. So annoying!

Magura calipers have a small space for a disc and that causes difficulties to center the caliper and not hear disc rub on break pads. Also even tiny disc bend is the pain in the ass of the same reason

I would like to replace the brake hose on my ShiGura. I can't get a hold on a magura hose , Can I use shimano hose instead? Thanks

Is the video now fixed to the angles that you put in Premiere? Or will I still be able to "look around" in all directions with VR glasses when watching it on YT

I saw in a vidéo that it's useless to activate the break to get some bubble.(kzbin.info/www/bejne/eWeqpKSLrMurY80 it's in french)

Nice video! I ordered some Aliexpress aluminum levers, because the magura material feel kinda soft. I also feel like magura hose is bad quality compared to a shimano. Do you know if I can replace the hose with a shimano one?

so levers are shimano calipers are Magura ,what about rotors? I have SLX 2 pistons, If I change to Magura MT5 - stopping power will grow? SLX rotors are fine with this set?

is there a overall simple way to frame lock?

you can get yourself a tourch to burn your disc and pads and sand them a pit in case they got contaminated. saves lots a money

Can you even buy Shimano levers separately?

great video. what brake pads do you use to have still a bit feel to control such massive breakpower ? thx

Thanks for this video. Exactly the information that I was looking for. What brake pads do you prefer on the maguras?
