Shortening.brake.hose - Magura MT 7 Manual De Instrucciones

If it is necessary to route the brake hose of your rear-wheel brake
L
inside the bike frame, you must open the brake system at the
brake lever – see
shortening brake hose
If necessary, shorten the brake hose for this.
A thin wire may be helpful for inserting through the bike frame.
L
Thread it through the openings of the frame in the opposite direc-
tion and attach it to the end of the brake hose with adhesive tape.
However, do not insert the wire into the brake hose – oil loss!
Use the MAGURA hose plug.
Carefully pulling with the wire and pushing the brake hose at the
same time will make it easier to find the outlet.

The brake hose may have to be disconnected from the brake lever for
the following steps.
Loss of oil when the brake hose is removed/disconnected.
Do not actuate the brake lever blade if the brake hose is dis-

connected.
Handle the open brake hose carefully – do not shake it, knock it

or hit it.
Have clean, absorbent and lint-free cloths ready – wipe any

leaking oil away immediately.
Unusable brake hose – because it is too short.
Before shortening the brake hose make sure that the handlebar

and stem are in their final position and do not need to be raised,
extended or adjusted in any way.
Make sure that there is full steering movement in both directions.

Make sure that all suspension can function freely.

If required, allow a little longer at first – you can always shorten

it a bit more but you can't extend it!
Do not cut the brake hose with side cutters or a saw.

Cut the brake hose with a suitable wire cutter (e. g. MAGURA wire

cutter) or a sharp knife only.
