Hi All


Need some help ... I have a set of TWP G-FORCE HYDRAULIC Brake Levers that I want to attach to a set of Magura HS33. My problem is that the screw that is used for the Magura levers is to small for the TWP G-FORCE HYDRAULIC Brake Levers.
Has anyone done this before ?
Do TWP G-FORCE HYDRAULIC Brake Levers have a different set up to Magura ?

Thanks for any info

Are they aftermarket "upgrade" levers for Maguras or ones that were designed for their own system e.g. you bought TWP levers/calipers etc?

If they were aftermarket ones then it'll just be a case of finding the correct attachment for the levers - may be quite hard.

If they were designed to be used with their own calipers you may find, due to the larger bore pipe (possibly) being used that they try to pump more fluid to the pistons than is best for the Maguras, making them move too fast to the rim.
 
Hi

Really not sure as I just bought the levers off Ebay and they only came with Levers but the Add did say they were Magura compatable?
Will see if I can find some screws which are the right size
 
I had a set attached to Maguras - sold on here a while back. They had braided hoses and different fixings (i.e. not the olives that Maguras normally have) on them.

 
The TWP levers have a 14mm master piston which is the same as the HS-33s, whereas the HS-11s and HS-22s have a 16 mm master piston. (I don’t understand hydraulics but bigger wasn’t better). So one of the advantages of going to TWP levers was they had they same power as the HS-33s.

I had a good look at my ones and they seem to just use regular Magura rim brake hydraulic lines and connections. Check to see if there is a difference between the fittings for the HS-33 and HS-22/11s levers due to the different master piston size. Also a bit of a long shot but the fittings look the same as my 2000 Louise disc brakes maybe they would work?

Hi

Thanks

For Info ..I will need to check again as the brakes are evolution Magura brakes but the levers are not HS33 maybe HS11.
Will measure the master piston and see what size screw is needed
