Setting up discs
1 to 4 of 4 messagesTo post a reply you need to be a member - Join now.
Some shiney new Magura Julies have just been delivered by the posty. So I'm gonna try and get them setup today.

Does anyone have any tips or dos and don'ts for fitting discs?

All help greatly apreciated...
easy... fit the rotors

next fit the lever to the bars

leave the yellow spacer in untill you have fitted the caliper to the frame or fork and tighten these up.

then slacken the 2 bolts that hold the caliper to the adaptor (not the frame bolts) then pull the spacer out...

put the wheel in (make sure its properly in the drop out.

next pump the brake up once firm hold the lever tighthly in to the bars and tighten the 2 bolts back up this should have centered the caliper over the rotor

visually check that there is equal room between the rotor and the caliper on each side

for Maguras to get good pad life you need to bed te pads in..

so arm yourself with a bottle of clean water soak the pads (pour it over the caliper find a hill and drag it all the way to the bottom followed by 10 hard stops from 20 mph ish

job done ;0)
Excellent, job's a goodun.

Just need to clip the cables on the new shifters and zip tie the hoses to the frame.

Thanks Andy.

Alex unless your into fitness, the starting and stopping to bedin can be quite tiring.

Find yourself a long downhill.
