    I had my MT7s bled with old pads in. I wore the pads in the rear down to the base metal so bought new ones. Couldn't get the f'ing things in because the pistons wouldn't go back far enough to get them in place without one of the other pistons popping out again. I ended up opening the bled port a bit then pushing the pistons in to dump out the excess fluid. Long story short: if your pads are close to shot when you need to bleed replace the pads at the same time. 😅

    Dave, SUPREME thanks for your efforts doing this, as well as the install on the trek rail5 from 3 years ago. Your work is priceless. My rear shimXT had a shattered piston, so I went wandering for a full brake replacement. Found the MT7 on sale and fell for it, like shopping while hungry. I'm so glad you did this video; the timing is perfect. Also perfect is the entire youtube universe of pain and suffering I'm finding about maguras just as I'm about to install mine. I suppose I'll wait until the levers break (no pun intended), then perhaps I'll try a Shigura setup.

I purchase things so that I own THEM, not so they can own me. P.S. We give insurance companies MORE money than they give us back. That's how insurance works. That's how they are able to stay in business. Insurance is nothing more than a way to buy something once, and then proceed to slowly pay for it twice, in hopes that they MIGHT give you a portion of your 2nd purchase price back. Insurance is nothing more than gambling. If you want to gamble, go to Las Vegas and get free drinks out of it.

    1. All maguras I owned (2x julie, 1x mt4, 8xmt5) were leaking when attaching the syringe to the bleed port. I always lift the caliper above the lever when doing that. It takes 10 secs to rotate the bike when having a stand. And I don't add air to the system. 2. For every bleeding on any bike is recommended to remove the wheel and the pads - there are 2 nice bleed blocks from magura. 3. The best thing to do is attach a funnel with a threaded inlet to the lever. Ez emtb offers kits that are the best bleed solutions on the market. 4. The method I use (100% successful) is to remove the lever from the bar and rotate it while pushing the oil from the caliper. 5. The lever is the pain in magura case. Shiguras are very easy to bleed with 100% success rate. 6. Plastic-phantastic lever body doesn't belong to mtb product range in this type of applications. Their 1st attempt was julie that was a piece of junk. I had 2 issues with them and it was the only one situation when this happened in my entire brake history. 7. I buy mt5 brakes , easy to find in EU for 65 £ Incl freight and customs, and shimano levers (20-50£ per piece, depends on the model), sell brand new levers for 30-40 £ and run shiguras for 75£ with saint levers and they are easy to bleed, maintain and pain-free to use.

  • @peglor
    @peglor Před 11 dny

    This is an excellent tutorial on brake bleeding - very nice work. The methods used apply to every open system hydraulic brake, with the only changes being the connections to the lever and caliper. Tipping the bike can be avoided by just pulling the lever and holding it in to the bar with a rubber band or cable tie before disconnecting the syringe at the caliper - this seals the system at the lever end, so the fluid can't flow out. For filling the lever, I've had inconsistent results with the bucket bleed method you've shown. Connecting a syringe to the lever, as you've done at the caliper, and actively pushing brake fluid in and then sucking it out is significantly more effective. This works because the volume of the brake lever reservoir isn't fixed, there's a diaphragm that can move in and out as the brake fluid level changes, and there seems to be some dead volume in the lever that air bubbles don't always clear out of under gravity. As for Maguras needing more maintenance, this is news to me. I have a Louise I ran for well over a decade (It's still fine - just not on a bike at the moment), including 5 years of a daily commute that dropped 100 m in the first 500 m, which cooked it ever morning and all I ever did was feed it brake pads, tightened the lever adjusters (They drift enough that after a year or two the bite point has moved in enough to be noticeable) and I think I topped up the lever once. The joy of mineral oil brakes is that the oil doesn't degrade, attract water or strip paint, so the idea of regularly bleeding for any reason other than changing the brake line length or replacing a liquid containing part is just unnecessary work. Magura probably have some guff about regular bleeding now just to keep up with the others, but historically (20-30 years ago anyway) their attitude was just leave them alone unless you can feel air in them. Same story with Shimano brakes.

    • @peglor
      @peglor Před 11 dny

      That's just to draw fluid through the system. I'd argue that you still need to vacuum at the lever after the caliper end is bled and sealed because specific to the MT7 (And I run 6 of them between a trials bike and two 29ers), the lever collects air bubbles that don't easily pop out of the lever by shaking, tapping the lever and flicking the lever blade.

    For an amateur bike mech would it be best to remove the wheel ?

    • @peglor
      @peglor Před 11 dny

      Remove the wheel and the brake pads. A lot of brakes will come with a plastic block to put in where the pads go to keep the pistons separated, so this should go into the caliper after removing the pads. A tiny amount of brake fluid is all it takes to contaminate the brake, leading to poor brake performance and loud howling while braking. If you're doing this regularly like the Yorkshire Bike Mechanic, you'll have enough practice to automatically avoid the mistakes that will get the brake contaminated, but for someone who's doing it maybe once a year, the time spent in removing the wheel and pads will almost always be earned back in time you don't have to spend decontaminating the brake.

    • @TheYorkshireBikeMechanic
      @TheYorkshireBikeMechanic Před 10 dny

      You can remove the wheel if you feel confident and use a spacer if you prefer. Removing the pads and using a block can sometimes give you a false hard lever feel .
