Sold Magura HS66 drop bar brakes front & rear set

[ajantom]

Set of Magura HS66 brakes.
Pretty rare beasts - in fact I can't see any for sale anywhere else at the mo.

Perfect for a drop barred MTB build - I had them on a 97 Indy Fab singlespeed and then a fixie cross bike.

Fully working condition, pads good, Evolution mounts + quick releases.

£200 + postage.
I'm quite firm on the price (they are currently on eBay for a chunk more, but I have got best offer on )

Happy to answer any questions, but what you see in the photos is what you get.

Not a daft price at all. I waited 4 years to find a set.

I'm interested in these pending a few questions...
Are the hoods in good shape, no rips or tears (looks like they are)?
Are other hoods from cable levers compatible with these, in case they ever need changing?
Are the levers working fine, are there any cracks, etc?
How are the hoses attached to the levers, can these be removed and refitted or do they use some older non standard fitting?
Thanks!

Hi Foz, no rips or tears. I can take some more photos if you wish.
Not sure about compatibility of other brands hoods?
Levers are working fine, pistons move in and out fine, no cracks.
Pretty sure they're standard barbed Magura fittings.... nice thing about Maguras is that the hoses, olives, and fittings have stayed the same for 30 odd years

from memory, everything was pretty standard - I ran these as disc levers before it became fashionable!

Here's some more pics of the hoods - no rips or tears, though they are a bit dirty!
Fittings to lever shown - standard Magura barbed hose attachment.

Just seen the date stamp on the lever body - 1993

Thanks for the pics! Do these have lever adjustment for pad wear? I think they call it TPA on the HS33 (the red dials on the front of the levers on those). And what's the hose length please?

 

[ajantom]

Yes, you can adjust the pads with an allen key (3mm I think) via the small slot in the front of the levers.
Hose length - I knew I'd forgotten something! I'll measure them in a bit.

If these sell, I have an aero cover for them which I got with some spares. No use to me so if anyone wants it let me know.
Glws.

I might be interested in these also. Would they fit on posts designed for mafac cantis does anyone know?
