Yes. I really liked Maguras for ease of installation, set-up, and cold performance, but they are very easy to overheat here on the sides of Mt. Diablo. The rotors get hot enough to scar a calf (my lower leg, but I'm sure it would brand a baby cow too). Their proprietary fluid is, perhaps, intended for Teutonic cold. I've since switched to Formula brakes, and the Italians seem to know how to control for heat, at least on disc brakes. jim m wc ca -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
