  1. 'HERE' (http://tinyurl.com/5q2fh) is an auction for some Magura Raceline
    brakes, with ableed kit for $25. It said unicycle on it, so I had to
    look here first. If this is you, and you don't sell them, please let me
    know as I would like to buy them at a later date.

    Yep, basically the same item, only a different color and model.

  4. Note that those are not the HS33 model. The main difference is that
    they don't have the adjuster knob on the brake lever that allows you to
    easily adjust the brake pad clearance. Another difference is that the
    brake lever is actually longer than the HS33 lever which could affect
    fit and reach.

  5. With this model you can still adjust the brake pad clearance though
    right...just not as easily?

    I would imagine that you would have to be able to adjust the brake pad
    distance from the rim, otherwise you would have to use spacers to make
    it closer, and and slimmer pads to make it farther...

    Does anyone know how you would adjust the pads on the racelines?

    I think that lever is like the HS11. In that case there is a little set
    screw that you turn with an allen key to adjust the pads for pad wear
    and general fine tuning adjustments. Not as convenient as the knob on
    the HS33, but still adjustable. They'll work fine. They're just
    different than the HS33.

    When you get a Magura brake I would suggest downloading the shop manuals
    and other relevant technical documents from the
    'Magura download page'
    (http://www.magura.com/english/download/downloads.htm). Those documents
    will have all of the info you need to setup and adjust the brake for
    optimal use. The 'Magura Cult' (http://tinyurl.com/57a) is also a great
    source for information on how to properly bleed the brake and other
    things (like what fluid to use).

  8. Thanks for the information. I might have to place a bid to have some
    brakes for my 29er, which should help me a lot on the mountain roads.
