8.When installing a MAGURA on a suspension fork, some fork boosters may cause
clearance problems. The suspension spacers (available as an accessory) move the ad-
aptors forward for better clearance of the black elbows. They are installed instead of the
U-washers and come with a 2mm allen set screw to fix them to the canti-studs, thereby
eliminating the chance of losing one when the quick release is open.
9. Adjust the black elbow of the right adaptor side accordingly. Mount the right ad-
aptor. Pass the quick release over the quick release screw. Position the brake cylinder
in the adaptor bracket so that the pads are parallel to the rim. Distance rim/pad
2mm.
Black elbow must block against the fork or frame! Close the quick release. It
points up when closed.
The quick release tension is adjusted by turning in the hourglass bolt clock-
wise, preferably when the quick release is CLOSED.
10. Former MAGURA models came with a silver elbow. You need a 13mm open end
wrench for correct adjustment (arrow).
The black and silver elbows are not inter-compatible!
11. A perfect aligned MAGURA brake:
- brake pads parallel to the rim, distance pad/rim 2mm on both sides.
- Connection hose between the brake cylinders points inboard, i.e. frame/fork.
- Black elbows block against the fork or frame.
- Quick release points up when it is closed. Check the quick release tension when it is
closed and increase it, if necessary, by turning in the hourglass bolt (3) clockwise.
Now tighten the fitting bolts (allen key 5mm):
upper bolts 1: (Tightening torque 4Nm/34 in.lbs)
center bolt 2: (Tightening torque 6Nm/51 in.lbs)
hourglass bolt 3: (Tightening torque 4,5Nm/39 in.lbs)
12. Installation of the STANDARD brake booster. The side with the single wide
hole is mounted on the quick release side of the adaptor. Do not forget the washer under
the head of the fitting bolt (arrow 1). (Tightening torque 4Nm/34 in.lbs). On the oppo-
site side one of the round holes just slips over the existing bolt. If ever your tyre should
touch the booster here (arrow 2) just cut it off with a wire-cutter.
