"I was just thinking they were easy to fit except then I noticed the length of the hose - this was for a front brake - the first front disk brake I'd had to shorten the hose for (except for cosmetic purpose) whilst fitting.
Upon reading the manual I discovered it says you need a new fitting for the nozzle into the brake reservoir.

After not being able to find a new nozzle in the box or my local LBS I had to cut the old one out. So remember to cut the hose at least 4 inches from the handle and then strip out the existing nozzle with a blade.

Except for that hassle I thought they were good value for money."

Bleeding

Pros: Durable, Great Value

Cons: Low Quality, Not Enough Features, Poor Fit, Poor Quality, Unadjustable

"These brakes are fine if you have hours to spare to get them to bleed in after you have cut down the cables that are way to long. Also be carefull when tightening as I knackered one lever.

I have always used Magura brakes and had no problems before bleeding or fiiting but these new brakes seem to have poor fittings and that you can brake easily.

I would pay more in future for shimano or Hope"

Good Value

Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Great Value

"If your looking to convert from cable brakes, and are on a budget, this is the brake for you.

It's ready to set up straight from the box, although the cable is way too long for most bikes. Luckily included in the kit is all you need to shorten it (Excluding the knife!).

The instructions are easy to follow, and the overall quality feel of the lever impressed.

Magura advice running the break in for quite a while, but i found after a few quick stop it was really biting.

You also get a 5 year warranty with the brake, when registered on the Magura website, a nice touch.

In summary, a good entry level brake, with a nice bite, and a nice lever. A good upgrade from cables!"

Magura Julie Disc Brakes

Pros: Durable, Great Value, High Quality, Rugged

Cons: Unadjustable

"Price against performance, I am certainly happy with these brakes. Simple to fit and maintain and thats half the battle as far as im concerned! A very detailed yet reader friendly instruction manual comes with each set of brakes with helpful tips and advise about maintainance and accessories that you may require.
General performance is good. Im not an avid rider and have no intention of throwing myself of mountain sides therefore these brakes more than suit the application they were purchased for and that is distance riding with an element of rough terrain."

Pros: Comfortable, Good Fit, Great Value, High Quality, Rugged, powerful

Cons: Unadjustable

"For under £60 this is a great brake. Magure Quality and IS mount too. I had no problem adjusting the hose length per the instructions and it comes with spare connectors.

The feel of the brake is excellent and it's bedded in really quickly. One ride out in Wales and it's got great feel already.

I would recommend this brake for trail riding any day."
