  1. first of all i apologies that i have no digital camera and cannot
    provide pics. the deal is that i looked down one day and noticed that my
    magura break handle is cracked at the clamp 😠 . i'm still trying to
    find out if there is any replacement possible and at what cost. however,
    does anyone have any ideas on fixing it. i have no idea what the
    material is and aside from accessing some airplane adhesives i can't
    imagine any super glue doing the trick.

    has this happened to anyone else?

  2. As long as the brake handle mount is intact, you can order a replacement
    handle through magura directly. I think it was 25 bucks. They send you
    two. I can't remember if it was 50 bucks for the two handles, or 25
    bucks for each, or 25 bucks for the pair.

    Email them, or call them. I think I got the phone number off their
    website.

    If the mounting hole in the handle is broken, it can't be fixed.

    It's actually good to have a spare with you when you ride. If the MUni
    goes down on a log or rock, it can bend the handle and it's dust. If
    you have the spare, it's a simple fix that takes a few minutes.

  3. I have heard this more and more as I hang around here. there is alot of
    this going on. the guys a Magura alread make the brake lines for
    unicyclists, cant they make like, titanium levers or something
    stronger!? I wouldnt know how to fix it, because I think that brakes add
    unecessary weight, and they just get in the way. but I would imagine you
    could ge them from magura directly. its been awhile since I was there,
    and I dont remember if this is it, so Im not gonna link it, but I think
    its magura.com but dont quote me on that.

    The problem with making them stronger is that it will break somewhere
    else. I'd rather break a lever then the body, you don't have to bleed
    the brakes to replace a lever.

  5. A couple of weeks ago I broke my Magura's turbo pad adjuster (the red
    knob for fine tuning the brake). I spent $5.00 in gas looking for one
    locally before I called Magura USA. They mailed me three of them for
    under $6.00. I ordered them on Friday and had them on Monday. You can
    download a PDF showing a full break down of the HS33. It also has the
    part numbers to make things easier. Good luck.

    If you have problems going through Magura then try 'Trialsin USA'
    (http://www.trialsin.com/). He has a complete supply of Magura parts.
    His little shop is based in New York state. He can get you fixed up.
    He knows his Magura brakes.
