Maguras on a Klein?

[FST4RD]

Building up my Rascal originally I was going to go with some bling canti's and levers... But... then I happened across a NOS set of original Maguras with Kooka Levers! I couldn't help myself and bought them.
I want to put them on my Rascal, but I'm not sure how to route them to the back. Do people have pics of how they have done it with their Klein?
I'm a little hesitant to drill the frame to feed the hose through, although if it's the only clean way to do it I will do it.

Don't do it you'll regret it!


You could try these instead, which wouldn't require butchering the frame. The tubing wouldn't be internally routed, but you could make it an elegant enough solution dependent on where you locate the pads...

Thanks for that.
I could route the hosing under the top tube so you wouldn't see them I guess.
Anyone have any pics of Maguras and Kleins together?

I agree......to powerful for a frame that has been shaved to the dimensions of tesco branded tin foil!.....blingy canti's is the way forward!...

Most of the shaving is done on the down tube and the seat tube. The rear triangle is very stiff and solid.

Yeah, I agree.....you can feel that by tapping the thing!...I wouldn't anticipate a rear problem, but it may be more of an issue on the front, given that will take the heavier braking.....
