Hi,

I have a set of MAgura Trail Sports and a spare MT5 caliper - I’d like to swap the existing 2-pot rear caliper with my spare MT5 caliper - is it as simple as move the hose connector (below) from the 2 pot to the MT5 and then doing a bleed? Do I need the insert/olive for the MT5 caliper?

Gonna be shortening the hose at the same time, so will be ordering a new insert etc for the hose end of the lever.

Cheers

I did the same a few years ago and pretty sure the hose just swapped over to the new caliper with no mods that end.

Yep just unbolt the hose at the caliper end and swap over. Quick mini bleed and sorted.
