Currently running my 2nd Magura Julie up front. The first was bought from eBay and once once bled, was ok for a while until it started leaking from the piston int he lever. Got another complete front brake from eBay again and it was ok for a bit and now this one is leaking from the piston and the thread where the hose joins the lever. It's also got very little power so I'm not confident at all about using it.
The rear has been ok. A bit squeaky though.
Based on the above story, which of the following statements are true:
1) - Buying 2nd hand hydraulic discs is a stupid idea - these things should only be bought new.
2) - It's ok - Julie's are rubbish so just replace them with Avid's/Hopes/Formulas etc.
3) - I've been exceptionally unlucky.
