Welcome to the forum. Nice bike you have there and thanks for putting the video up. Here is a link to a thread with a few useful tips -

Bleeding Magura hydraulic HS11 brakes

I have a set of these that I am trying to fit onto a tandem frame (to provide at least some retardation!) Anyone got foolproof bleeding technique for the long rear set up?

Looks like it's in pretty good shape overall -- good luck!

Thanks for your answers and your encouragement.
Your bikes have so many beautiful details!
My work is currently progressing slowly.

I could see that the 2 cylinders move asynchronously.( see the video .zip)
I think that by changing the oil and removing the bubbles this defect can be solved.

gorgeous rear shock. and your ergal handlebars and accessories are also very nice.
Can you tell me where you got the shock absorber and handlebar?
Currently I have tried to recharge the shock at 8bar ... let's see if it keeps the pressure. Alternatively I have seen some gasket kits to regenerate it. But your shock is also very nice. is it 5.5 "?

the mp4 file was not accepted ... I saw that among the various extensions accepted there was .zip.
can I post the videos in another way?

The rear shock came with the frame when i bought it . Everything else came for the parts bin
