brakes

Hi folks! I'm new to this forum. I'm by no means new to mountain biking or EMTBs however I've just received my new Orbea rise m20 2023. I couldn't resist the price these days of a brand new one and really fancied something lighter than my full fat nukeproof megawatt. But I'm after a bit of...

Hey, I’m about to replace brakes in my Levo gen 3 (I prefer Shimano over SRAM). Any advice guys? Anything I should pay attention to with this internal routing? I’d appreciate feedback from all of you who already went through this exercise. Thanks, a.

I'm switching out the Guides with 200mm discs on my 2020 Turbo Levo Comp to a Sigura setup and have a question about the caliper mount. I went with the Magura MT7 with 203mm discs and thought I would have to change the adapter (or add a washer) to accommodate the extra 3mm diameter. However...

I'm having some real trouble with my Magura brakes. I just don't feel like I'm getting the best out of them and wondered if you could give me some advice? I bled the front one yesterday as it's been just under a year since I got them - the purged fluid was black...! I've got the front feeling...

Hi. I've read about Guide brake bleeding problems but never experienced them until now. To cut a long story short(ish) my lbs replaced the whole rear brake - lever caliper and hose after issues with the original one (which may not have been necessary but thats a different story). After two...

I've had my 2020 Turbo Levo Comp for about a year now. It's been mostly great. Recently the rear brake started rubbing. It appears that the pistons are not retracting like they should. I took out the pads and treated each piston with a bit of DOT fluid. I cleaned them with a swab and worked each...

I put the 4-piston Shimano XT's (M8120) on my bike tonight and found that the mode controller for your left thumb fits PERFECTLY in these. It's like Shimano custom made them for the Levo controller. They added a little bracket that sits against the handlebar for stability: I figured with my...

So the Kenevo that I’m using has SRAM Code brakes. Really spongy feel as well as the lever going right back to the bars. Took it to a local bike shop near where I’m staying who bled them but noticed that 2 of the rear pistons were jammed and also lots of air in the system. Also I’ve almost...

Anyone else have problems with there brakes getting spongy after a few months riding? The brake lever travel also starts to increase which is a right pain, as when decending on some steep single tracks you struggle to get the rear to lock up. It's the rear one which gets effected the most, I...

I have Shimano M615 disk brakes and due to the grinding paste I've been riding in I need to adjust the brakes to compensate for pad wear. What do I need to do?
