Just purchased similar Magura brakes and need to shorten my hoses the video was very helpful thank you 🙏🏻🙂
Excellent video!
Tnx for this video, easy peasy.
I just installed a set of mt trail sport . I got the magura bleed kit equipped with the olives. The olives are black not gold and they appear a slightly different geometry. I used one when shortening the hose. All seems okay but there is half a thread showing on tightening the shroud nut. The brakes function perfectly.
Hi, thanks for your comment! The olives that get shipped with the brakes are black, we use gold olives internally for service cases. Dimension-wise they are both identical. It is normal that a bit of the thread of the sleeve nut shows, please tighten it to 4Nm.
@@MAGURAPassionPeople ...thankyou for your kind reply. I guess that enables you to determine if a unit has been tampered with also . Kind regards.
Does anyone know the best way to swap the hoses on brakes? I’ve bought the MT trail set but for trials so I am going to use the four pot on the back and so need the longer hose.
Is swapping them by the banjo bolt the best way before cutting my hoses to the correct length? I have everything I need to fill/bleed them anyway.
Well, I just did my new MT2 rear that I put on my old bike. (a 2000 Cannondale Super V700SX) It turned out to be pretty easy. I don't have the special cutter but I held the tube like you showed with the two yellow plastic tools. And I cut it with a new Xacto knife. The hose is all plastic. I didn't know if I was going to have to cut through a metal lining or not. I have a couple of those little gold metal inserts from a 2000 Loiuse (or it was from a bleed kit I bought along with it) that I used. It's strange that the MT2 didn't include that part since it includes the olive and threaded collar. You don't need to hammer it in. I was able to shove it all the way in with my thumb. And you can pull it back out carefully with a pliers. So now that I know how easy it is I may have to shorten it again another 2 or 3 inches. Plus I have an MT2 to install on the front of this bike so it will have to be shortened too.
Hi Ergo Proxy, thanks for your message. All MT2 brake from model year 2015 don't require an insert but just the olive in combination with the sleeve nut. Please get in touch with us via Facebook Messenger or via mail helpdesk@magura.de. Best regards Tobi (MAGURA social media)
@Magura
1)Are brakes coming with olives when shortening the cables or do i have to buy them separately ?
2)Also could i use them with Shimano XT discs without issues ?
3)Do i have to buy bleed blocks or these are also included ?Thank you
It all came in my new set you get one of everything to shorten it.
I know im asking the wrong place but does anyone know a tool to log back into an instagram account?
I was dumb lost my account password. I would appreciate any assistance you can offer me.
@Westley Philip Instablaster =)
@Fisher Alaric Thanks for your reply. I found the site through google and im waiting for the hacking stuff now.
I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Fisher Alaric It did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thanks so much you really help me out!
What inner/outer diameter is the hose ? Magura only provide boring black hoses, so would be nice to know what diameter the hose is for after market nicer looking hoses.
Sorry for my ignorance but I just ordered my mt5 front brake kit so I'll surely have to shorten my hose and these are my first hydraulic brakes but I'm curious what this plug they insert to the end of the hose is, won't that block the fluid flow or is it some sort of valve that connects to the inner bits of the master?
think of the "plug" as a gasket, it helps to make a seal but allows for fluid to pass through the center.
It's called a nipple and has a hole through the middle.
hej, I have 3 wheels lastbike or boxbike and has a rim brake, is it possible to change it with Hs33 hydraulic brake?
It is not clear in the video if the portion of the hose to remain needs to be kept open side up to prevent air from entering the line. Can you clarify if this needs to be done and if air entering the brake line is a concern. Great video. Thanks!
Anytime you open the system you have to check the function in case air got in. Bleed if necessary, but it not be.
Hi Can you or anyone tell me where i can get Magura reservoir cap for my mt8 carbon disc brakes.
Can you do this with out bleeding
Hi Jack Beames, yes you can shorten the hose without loosing oil. Regards Tobi - MAGURA social media
@@MAGURAPassionPeople I need exactly do shorten without bleeding!!!
How about the other end that's terminated? M6 neck piece with threads. Is there tool to crimp aluminium ferrules on top of the neck and hose like on the original factory hose?
Which one exactly do you mean? Feel free to send us a message on Facebook or Instagram so we can properly help you!
Hello, I have Magura MT2 ( carbotecture) and have a question regarding the golden insert. Bought the original olive and insert and the insert falls pretty loosely into the hose. Finally the set is tight and hermetic, but the question is , whether should be such a situation with loosen insert?
Hi Dominik, with start of model year 2015 our MT2 brakes got a new caliper and a new hose. In the new hose you don't need any insert. The only thing you need to mount the hose on the master is the olive and of course the sleeve nut. If your brake caliper is all of a piece (not two parts) you have the new MT2. If you have any further questions you can just contact us via Facebook. Best regards Tobi
Thanks for the instruction Tobi, will send you some photos on facebook, cause I am not sure whether I will be able to use the old master, as there is originally mounted hermetically connected hose on the master. There is no screw on the seeing from the hose side....
Great, thank you.
what is this dynamometric tool?
Hi do you have a video for magura seatpot tune up I buy one 2 Years ago in San Diego California and they can't do it thanks God bless you
Hi, thanks for getting in touch! Feel free to send us a message on Facebook or Instagram, so we can help you with this! Thanks!
I bought 2 new mt2, the kit comes with 4 olives but no gold coloured hose insert... In either of the brand new MT2N kits. I'm going to have to use the original metal 1 piece black connector at the MC end. Shame the piece was missing from both brand new kits... 4 olives for 2 kits and no hose inserts...
Hi there, thanks for your message. Please do not use an insert on our MT2N brakes. The old MT2 brake (until model year 2014) used to have the insert inside but the new version of the MT2 doesn't need this part anymore. If you have any further questions you're welcome to chat with us on facebook. Regards Tobi (MAGURA social media)
MAGURAPassionPeople Thanks for the reply, I'm not on Facebook. The instructions that came with the kit state in section b6 that you must use an insert (labelled "5") when shortening the brakes. After writing that message I went to my bicycle shop and purchased 2 and have now fitted them.
That's nice to hear. If you have any further questions just let us know. Have a nice day!
MAGURAPassionPeople Thanks for the reply, are you saying that it's OK to use MT2N with inserts?
No please do not use the MT2N with inserts. You only need the olive and the sleeve nut.
will this work for mt5 and mt5e
The procedure is similar, but we'd recommend to check out our more recent video for the current generation of MT brakes instead: czcams.com/video/xsSdFO89_rU/video.html
My Magura M2 make sound and bike feel shaky when braking, any idea what went wrong?
Hello Mervyn, please check your brake pads and discs. Please get in touch with our service team via Facebook messenger or E-Mail to get more informations.
Check to see if the hose is worn through anywhere near mounting points. Mine was ziptied on the rear arm, and it wore through, causing noise and shaking from leakage.
what about MT 5 ??? can I shorten the same form that Mt 2 ?
Danny B Yes!
thanks
i have the HS33 urban kit.. the instructions do not match the kit.
1) why does it come pre-bleed if you instantly have to to cut the brake line when you take it out of the box?
2) I ordered the kit advertised for the front brake.. why the hell does it come with a 2 meter brake line?? a pointlessly pre-bleed brake line!
3) why use torque screws instead of the standard alen key??
4) the Magura easy-bleed system is a pain in the ass.. now i need to purchase the magura service kit.. whats wrong with a standard bleed nipple? its easier!!
i was told to stay away from the Magura kits but i thought i give them a go.. turned out to be a pain in the ass
Good morning Sir,
thanks for your message. We use to deliver our brakes filled because there's normally no need to bleed them when the system gets shortened or installed. Do you need any further advise or information? If yes you're welcome to contact us via facebook messenger. Thank you and best regards Tobi (MAGURA social media)
Honestly, these are good brakes.? 🤔
What they don't tell you is to be extremely careful with cutting and mounting brake lines because they cost a fortune, if you ever need to replace them.
Yep! the method they show here to hold the cable while you insert the nipple sucks! the slightest pressure damages the cable.
Now its 3cm too short due to the damaged line, and €35 mistake because you can only get the line with the attachtment already fitted.
Matches my mt4 but not my mt2 at all
Stop making your brake hoses 5 miles long please im on a 650 and its still a good 400mm too long
Magura MT2 aren't good There is no braking.
Hello lachaine, we would really like to know what happened in your case and why your brakes don't show the braking performance they use to. Please get in touch with us via Facebook Messenger or via mail (social.media@magura.de) to solve this issue together. Best regards Tobi (MAGURA social media)
Unfortunately the accent and audio are horrific. Can't understand anything.
