1. Welcome to the Passion People!
On the fully hydraulic MAGURA rim brake systems HS 33 and HS 11 the braking force is
transmitted to the braking surface by a mineral oil column. The movement
of the lever blade moves a piston, which is integrated in the brake lever (master cylinder).
The piston pushes the mineral oil column through the brake hose in the direction of the brake
calliper (slave cylinders), where two pistons, on which the brake pads are clipsed, are pushed
out. The friction between the brake pads and the rim slows down the bicycle and causes a
heating of the rim.
Never touch the rim after long braking as this may cause serious burns!
You will be pleased to find out that the MAGURA rim brakes offer a superior braking
power even with little hand force applied, no matter what the weather conditions should be.
Please note, however, that rim brakes are generally not as powerful in the wet in in snowy
conditions mainly and that the reaction of the brake will be slightly retarded under these cir-
cumstances.
Our rim brakes cause a wear of your rims. So do not forget to check regularly your
rims!
This manual contains important information about the safe installation,
operation and maintenance of your MAGURA rim brakes. We urge you to read
it carefully, become familiar with its contents and follow our recommendations
to help make your new braking experience enjoyable and trouble free.
All setup steps will be explained on the HS 33 rim brake. The HS 11 setup
is identical.
Although the MAGURA rim brake systems are relatively simple you should not
overestimate your technical skills! We therefore advise you to leave the
following works to a trained technician of a professional bike shop.
