6.3.3.4 Checking the clamping force in quick
releases
Open and close the quick releases on the stem
or the seat post.
The clamping force is sufficient if the clamping
lever can be moved easily from the open final
position into the middle and has to be pressed
with the fingers or base of the thumb from the
middle point onwards.
6.3.3.5 Adjusting the quick release clamping
force
If the clamping lever on the handlebars cannot
be moved into its final position, screw out the
knurled nut.
Tighten the knurled nut on the seat post if the
clamping lever's clamping force is not sufficient.
If you are unable to set the clamping force, the
specialist dealer will need to check the quick
release.

Adjusting the brake lever
6.3.4.1 Adjusting the pressure point on a
Magura brake lever
WARNING
!
Brake failure due to incorrect setting
If the pressure point is set with brakes where the
brake linings and brake disc have reached their
wear limit, the brakes may fail and cause an
accident with injury.
Before you set the pressure point, ensure that the
brake linings and brake disc have not reached
their wear limit.
The pressure point setting is adjusted using the
twist knob.
Turn the twist knob towards the plus (+)
symbol.
The brake lever moves closer to the handlebar
grip. Re-adjust the grip distance as necessary.
The lever pressure point activates sooner.

6.3.4.2 Adjusting the grip distance
WARNING
!
Crash caused by incorrectly set grip distance
If brake cylinders are set incorrectly or installed
wrongly, the braking power may be lost at any
time. This may cause a crash with injuries.
Once the grip distance has been set, check the
position of the brake cylinder and adjust it as
necessary.
Never correct the brake cylinder position without
special tools. Have a specialist dealer correct it.
The brake lever grip distance can be adjusted
to ensure that it can be reached more easily.
Contact your specialist dealer if the brake
handle is too far from the handlebars or is
hard to use.
