Magura decisions

Not quite what you've asked for, but would these be any use to you?

Thanks but no, I really just want a partner for the HS11

Might not be quite what you are after but I have a full set of hs11 special brakes, but no mounting bolts I can't see me using.

Imho, that price for the red tomacs is at least £50:higher than I'd expect based on what I've seen recently.

The frogs are a rare colour despite their condition, I'd leave them alone or restore them to their former glory, not paint them red.

Seconded on the frogs

Cheers guys. They’ve all gone back in their box for now. Awaiting either an appropriate project or for restoration at a letter date.

Don't know if it's any interest but I built up a non-disc frame Cannondale with a disc Headshok a couple of years ago when I managed to get a full set of Maguras for £8 from Perth Bike Station. Used a Julie disc brake on front and the Magura rim brake on rear. Didn't want to have 2 different levers on bars so just used the Julie lever from rear caliper with rear Magura. The lever and rim brake combo worked perfectly. Never had hydraulic rim brakes before, couldn't believe how powerful they were, only minus is I forgot how crap rim brakes are when wet even with hydraulic power.
Just remembered though that Julie lever/master cylinder are plastic/composite, black plastic oval reservoir cover, with a 2-finger aluminium lever. Trying to remember but I think that the earlier Louise/Clara lever with black plastic oblong reservoir cover had an aluminium body (but plastic lever?) which would be easier, I assume, to paint versus the composite. Will have a wee look to see if levers can be changed around between each system's master cylinder.

Theres a decent red set for £80 on the Magura HS Fans Farcebook group just now if you're still looking...

Magura...

sturmey archer hub brakes, mediocre in the dry and mediocre in the wet, they are the way forward
