[Closed] Magura mt7 broken lever

1st gen or 2nd generation MT lever?

my friend broke his at BPW back in March. its was the 2nd gen lever i think as the bike was only a 1 month old carbon jekkyl
he had to order the full lever from Germany for about £85

the lever blade on the latest version isnt replaceable as its held in place by a rivet....so you need the whole unit

OP i'm guessing that you snapped it where the barrel adjuster is on the lever? it seems to be a weak spot to an otherwise very good brake

It involves a hammer - just press-fit not riveted as far as I can see. You can find videos for the old style lever on the same channel.

I'm not sure. How can I tell? The brakes came with my bike last November and have the toolless adjustment

Whole unit o man. I broke a cm off the lever and twisted it a bit.

if its one of these then the lever blade isnt replaceable OP

my mate only had less than 1cm of lever left after his fall...it snapped off at the reach adjuster where there isnt enough material to save it from a hefty impact

Yep that's what I got, thanks for the help

But why? You can clearly see him peel off the sticker and expose the pivot at 4:05 in the video (

) and the different levers are listed as spares in the 2016 catalogue ( http://www.magura.com/media/2392/magura_dealerbook_2016_lowres_deen_bike.pdf )

As above, I thought you could get spare Gen 2 lever blades from Magura...

Are Gen 2 "2015 or newer"? https://www.bike-components.de/de/Magura/Bremshebel-2-Finger-fuer-MT6-MT7-MT8-ab-Modell-2015-p49690/

l.e. plus the cover kit, if you care about that: https://www.bike-components.de/de/Magura/MT7-Cover-Kit-p49302/

MT8 lever busted 6 weeks ago:£150.......made me so happy

Ah ha! The stickers reveal the pin a plan on pounding out.

Is "Royal blood" really nessecary for a bleed or just any mineral oil?

You can use any mineral oil of similar viscosity.
