I’ve done this on several bikes and it works great. BUT, be aware that the ID of the Magura hose is slightly bigger than Shimano. So while the Shimano barb seems like it works. It will eventually start to leak. Use Magura hose and Magura barb with the Shimano olive and nut. 👍🏽

Glad to see someone with prior experience on shigura. So for some reason trying that combo wouldn’t seal right. I know there’s 2 types of shimano barbs. Silver and gold. Gold being the thickest. Trying the combo you’re talking didn’t work. Tried 3 times until I did the gold shimano one. Kinda weird

Thanks bro for always having a positive comment! 🍻 it’s a good alternative incase you break a lever

I’ve been running the Shigura set up on my everyday trail bike for almost 2 years now and I love it. Havent had a single problem with it and its so powerful with the perfect feel!

Nice! I love the maguras when they are working properly. But I’ve had multiple brake lever cylinders fail. I’m just waiting for my brake levers to arrive. Shiguras here I come.

They’re really powerful. Quick tips. I ended up using the gold shimano barb which is suppose to be thicker and should fit the magura hose better. I also did the free stroke adjustment. You basically back off the free stroke screw and then bleed it. If you want less free stroke you just screw it in. Good luck!

@@CalaveraChronicles I have the new v4’s as well as mt7’s with hc3 levers. The new hopes are so much better all around! Lever pull is so much lighter, just as powerful, predictable yet not so-much-throw modulation. I love both of them, but I would replace my maguras with more hopes in a heartbeat.

How does the lever feel? Is it solid and you modulate the brakes by applying more pressure or does the lever move once the brakes start to work and you modulate with more movement? My Maguras currently have a rock solid lever and I want to check the Shimano levers give the same

@CalaveraChronicles

Жыл бұрын

Definitely more on and off. I actually rode my sb150 at the bike park and felt like they had more modulation than the shigura.

Can I use the Shimano hose connecting to the Magura caliber? The reason I'm asking is I don't want to run a new Magura hose through the frame for the rear brake. TIA.

@CalaveraChronicles

Жыл бұрын

I haven’t tried that. It was a pain to run the hose but after doing it once I can confidently do it again. I taped the new one with the old one and just pulled it into the frame slowly. It wasn’t too bad

the lever of the xt includes the compression nut or do you buy separately ???

“Hammer those nuts straight on them Ho’s” Is all what I heard 😂 Nice tutorial! How is the modulation of brakes?

@CalaveraChronicles

Жыл бұрын

😂 Night and day difference from sram. These are more on and off feeling. You just have to be light on the levers for modulation. Less fatigue for sure. To be honest I’m still getting use to them at the moment. I really like them so far.

Shimano will work with royal blood? will it work the other way round as well with shimano fluid in magura brakes?

@MTB_CRZY

4 күн бұрын

yes, it should work either way. They both use mineral oil.

Hi.I'm going to do the same with my brakes.I'm thinking of using Magura Royal blood oil.Magura oil has a higher viscosity and withstands higher temperatures and heating during operation.What do you think?What pin you use on a hose?Magura or Shimano pin?What ID (inside diameter) BH-90 is 2.1mm wide ID,and BH-59 is 2.5mm ID,the BH-59 pins are made of brass usually,and BH-90 out of stainless steel?Obviously for Magura oil it would be better with a bigger one ID pin.

Sorry bro I missed your message! Yeah I used royal blood on this set up. I used the gold barb which I believe is the wider one. I did try the silver one but it was too small. I’m at a year now and no issues! I just swapped out the rear pads though. I’m at 1000 miles on the decoy so I feel like they lasted pretty good. Good luck!

I usually have good luck with them. These were sets that my friend had laying around. On my sb150 they lasted like 2 years and they started to leak. I sent them in and they took care of them pretty fast

Spend far more time in shop removing this setup and going to a full brake of either brand. Imo a shigura setup has terrible modulation and is just a bad idea in general. I refuse to fit mixed brake parts now.

So far this set up has been really good to me on the ebike. I just recently did a trail where it’s steep,fast and long I felt no brake fade or hand/finger fatigue. I do get how it’s not for everyone though. Just like sram isn’t for everyone . Is there any problem I should look for? Im at 120 miles on them now.

@@CalaveraChronicles I can only speak from my own experience but the first ones I rode on a cube ebike were eye watering they were so powerful, but they were more on/off than anything else I’ve used and would get spongy much faster as the pads wear than I expected. That was the only setup I’ve tried for a fair bit but tested lots at work. Problem for me would be firstly warranty which is void on both parts, choice of fluid as the mineral oil additives differ slightly and each make their seals specifically for that formula mineral although saying that most issues come from the hose connectors or damage to the levers. I get that people don’t like the plastic feel on maguras and I seem to have been lucky with my mt7’s despite a few crashes but brakes is the one thing I do not want any concerns about in terms of failures. I’m not a sram fan either the only dot brakes I like are the hopes. All that being said it comes down to feel at the lever for me and that is purely subjective so if you like the setup then you send it buddy 👍
