Magura Rims Brakes Q

[Xesh]

Do these levers allow you to place the levers inboard of thumbies? The standard Maguras are sufficiently thick around the clamps that thumbies have to go inboard, which never seems right.

I've had numerous bike shops tell me I've got them the wrong way round...I always invite them to swap, and I'll pay if they can get it to work

I presume that they would seeing as they've got longer than average blades.

I've always run my thumbies inboard of the brake lever. I'll have to try it the other way around to see what works best.

The problem is not the lever length but the cable exits the thumbie very close to the bar, meaning that you have to mount the brake lever a long way inboard...which just looks all wrong.

That's how you mount those levers anyway. They're supposed to be inboard more than normal. Besides the way I have my brake levers set up it shouldn't be a problem.
