or company bike leasing in germany. that’s huge over there. your employer leases the bike for you, sometimes pays also the full rates or partly, if the employee pays it gets deducted from their salary before taxes or all the social insurances, so they pay less than if they lease it on their own. one of the main reasons ebikes took off so hard in that market

If people want to read about date formats, there are better resources than this forum. Hence the links. Back to race talk please.

We’re going to derail to tech talk pretty soon

Awesome, thanks for the answer, it is really appreciated! I will definately buy a few sets of the SHIM brake pads since it’s the only thing bugging me on those otherwise awesome brakes. Cheers!

20/09 means 20th of September. The most logical date format that we refuse to use 😂. DD/MM/YY

Hi MAGURA, I don’t currently own any of your brakes (but in the past have owned HS-22s, MT5 and MT7s,) but just wanted to chime in and let you know that your interaction is amazing and downright shocking to have the CEO jump in to answer questions. This is a very compelling brake system and honestly takes care of all the issues I’ve had in the past- it will certainly be near the top of the list when it comes time for a new set. Any chance you would ever go back to the self aligning old system (it’s been...

I had this happen on an XT cassette on my analog bike during the final stage of an enduro one time. Luckily it was the steepest stage, but was still very sketchy as I had no idea why I lost drive. I was dumbfounded when I put my bike in the stand later and only counted 11 gears still in the chat.

Linkglide is the only e-bike appropriate drivetrain at this time. Which is sort of amazing to think that SRAM currently has nothing to truly compete. Linkglide/ Di2 is also the only e-bike appropriate drivetrain that can be hardwired to an e-bike motor, the Bosch. Still, what exactly did you think would happen running a 2.7 hp motor, on pavement with such high traction, in top gear on a bicycle cassette, and probably at speeds well below 20 mph so likely at a low cadence? Shit's going to break!

Hi, thanks for your questions and for the kind words! We can’t recommend pairing LOUISE or MT5 parts with the MT7. The hydraulic ratios and designs are slightly different, which would change the lever feel. Of course, the best option would be upgrading to the RACE PRO 😎 But I totally understand that you already have two pretty cool brakes sitting in the basement! Here are some ideas: Alignment: For your current setup, I’d recommend the Piston Alignment Tool I mentioned earlier. At just $7, it’s a real little secret weapon for setting up the caliper. Unlike conventional caliper alignment...

or that ebikes are gettin way to f*in powerfull!

Awesome to have them in chat. This is sick. All my questions getting answered!

You mean the screw here on the upper right? That’s a plugged bore that we need to create the caliper’s oil channel. After forging the one-piece caliper, a drill goes in there and connects both sides of the caliper. There’s no other way to manufacture it. You can also understand it with a look at the previously shared "oil channel"-cut-image. After manufacturing, this screw is never removed again. It simply plugs the bore in the caliper. Disclaimer: there may be a delay now in answering your questions as our German Team will be out of Office now. It’s night in...

Yes, the pad clearance is also better than on the MT5. Sorry that we didn’t have a technical figure prepared for this comparison, too. It’s a valid comment that the MT brakes could sometimes be tricky to adjust, and we were really pushed to work on this. We changed the piston areas around the seals, the caliper machining, and the seals themselves. In the end, this results in greater and, above all, more reliable piston retraction, especially for riders who put a lot of mileage on their brakes. GUSTAV and RACE brakes are much better and also the LOUISE calipers...

Yes, the circumferential channel makes it much easier to catch every air bubble. From our perspective, the Hayes approach is also more and more uncommon. We and our partners are very happy with our current solution. But we’re talking a lot about bleeding the caliper here, even though with our brakes, that often isn’t necessary at all. One advantage of MAGURA when bleeding: We explicitly recommend starting with our Fast Bleeding procedure, using just one syringe at the brake master. In practice, we often find that trapped air bubbles are located in the upper part of the brake system. With...

They have to fly in dirt in spots that they can’t dig. I think it’s an agreement with BC parks. Have trucked or flown in 282,000 cubic feet

Reach Adjust: Yes we improved the reach adjustment range and you can now get the lever close to the bar. This is an easy made smartphone shot with the closest reach adjustment on a fully bleeded brake. It shows the bite point position. (note: the reach dial on the RACE is silver in serial. See magura.com) (Additional safety notice from our manual: Make sure to adjust the reach that when actuated the lever must always contain a minimum distance of 23 mm to the bar) W hy you didn’t go to a thicker rotor like the Gustavs?: T he development...
