Reviews over the

Magura HS33 R Hydraulic Rim

Very good brake, great replacement for the v-brake on an electric bike.

Pros & Cons

Magura brakes are excellent, I replaced a brake set because the handbrake plunger was leaking. Fitted according to the manual provided and everything works fine again.

The magura hs33 R brakes work well. I just find that they are difficult to adjust at the pistons themselves. It is very difficult to get the brake pads nice and straight at equal distance from the rim. But once this is done, you don't have to do anything else and it brakes very well.

Pros & Cons

Clear assembly instructions

Pros & Cons

After receiving neat answers to my questions, I ordered the Magura brake. Mounting as a rear brake on my different model bike (VanRaam Balance) was still a challenge (I couldn't use the Quick-release function as a result), but with a little adjustment things worked. The 2-metre brake line was exactly neither too long nor too short. Now in use for 2 weeks and must say: brakes excellent.

Pros & Cons

Easy to fit, all the instructions are in the box. However, be careful to have the right tools to cut the hose.

Pros & Cons

Spot on service and perfect working order

Very good and effective brake , stops bike wheels easily

Fitted to a Moulton- decent stopping power and look the business. A little tricky to disassemble to change a tyre, but very happy with my brakes

Pros & Cons

...slightly over kill on my Dahon folding bike but ... still an aweome brake. Relatively easy to fit given the online videos. Feel really smooth and powerful. They come with everything you need to fit them. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking to upgrade a v brake equipped bike.

Bought these for old school 1998 Specialised FSR where discs not an option. Major improvement over v brakes. Not the fastest to fit as hoses to cut and feed through the frame. Service and price from Mantel second to none - will buy again from here.

Pros & Cons

Excellent brake but not suitable for trials bike as bolts and bar don't fit. Only buy if you have the correct bolts and fixing brackets. It should say this in the description.
