      Honestly, it can be pretty high if you are careful. Keep the cut hose line point up, try not to shake your bike or hoses, and back off any pad adjustments prior to cutting. Still we'd recommend having the proper kit handy in case a bleed or top-off is necessary. Keep Pedaling!

    • @jensonusabicycles
      @jensonusabicycles  Před 2 lety +1

      @@harrowlax28, if these are new brakes you shouldn't have to push your pistons back in. If your pads are worn and you need to trim the cable because your moving your brakes to a new bike, you will want to gently reseat them back into the caliper. What we mean by backing of any pad adjustments is that many brakes will have some sort of contact adjustment at the lever. It's a good idea to back that out to be sure that the greatest amount of brake fluid remains in the system. Hope that helps!

    Great video explanation and funny too...now I know what the dry towel was for ! Can I ask on Magura MT5's how much hose goes into the lever end.
    I am replacing from SRAM Code R's and measuring the hose from that but I won't know how much is in the lever until after it's cut.
    Thanks.

    • @rpiian
      @rpiian Před 2 lety +1

      I didn’t measure it but if I had to guess it’s 10-20mm of hose going into the lever. One thing to consider though is that the Maguras hoses exit more perpendicular to the bars, so the hose might route differently than your code Rs (I.e. may need more hose to make the bend).

  • @rpiian
    @rpiian Před 2 lety +1

    For internal routing, would you just cut excess on the caliper side hose to get thru the frame, then trim one more time to ensure there’s still full fluid in it? Tricky business… the lever end seems pretty straightforward.

    • @jensonusabicycles
      @jensonusabicycles  Před 2 lety +1

      Generally, it is still easier to trim at the lever end and feed the cable up through the frame. If you have left over hose to cut off, this can allow you to do this without bleeding the line. If your hose is close to the right length, it is very likely that you will need to bleed the hose after running it through the frame. Cheers!

    • @jamesdieckmeyer467
      @jamesdieckmeyer467 Před 3 lety +6

      Hey, Chris, thanks for the comment. I exclusively run Magura brakes on all bikes possible and have yet to introduce air into the system using this method. As you re-insert the cut hose into the system you force out a little fluid which prevents any air introduced into the system. The key here is to make sure the lever is adjusted up and you cut at least 4 inches away from the lever. This ensures any air getting into that lever.
      Follow these steps and you to can successfully bleed a Magura brake!!

      Realize this is pretty late BUT, an internal routing tool will have a plug that you can fit into the hose to then route through your frame. Something like these below.

      Hey Joe, sorry to hear this method didn't work out for you. There are several points where air can get introduced into the system, so it is always good to have a bleed kit in case you need it. This method has worked frequently for many of us and many other riders but there is still a chance air can be introduced. Luckily, these brakes are fairly easy to bleed.

If you let fluid out of the hose (for whatever reason) and try to connect the hose back to the master cylinder you can trap air in the line. You can let the 4 or so inches connected to the master cylinder whip but try not to let the remaining hose that connects to the caliper whip.
