Just a heads-up to those running Maguras.
Well, I was riding down some stairs on my KH24, and UPD'ed farly
lightly. I didn't realize that the Magura lines must have hit the edge
of a step, because both lines were snapped cleanly off at the swivel
connector. Luckily, it didn't affect the brakes themselves, just the
lines.
I had played with locating the handle and routing the lines so a UPD on
the street would not allow any of the parts to get hit by the road, but
I didn't allow for steps, etc.
Looks like I should have installed a booster plate on the back of the
brakes, away from the frame, to help protect the lines. Once I build
new lines, I'll definitely install something ot protect them.
Anyone have any idea on where to buy parts to build lines? I'm looking
for 8mm male and female swivel connectors and hose. I'm not concerned
about using SS anymore. Thanks.
