The brake levers, calipers and hoses of Julie and Clara are completely dif-

ferent and not compatible! Never mix and match parts from the two models.
Any misuse might cause serious accidents!

MAGURA manufacturers these braking systems according to the valid standards and

based on profound product tests. Because of the large variety of forks and frames avai-
lable on the market it is impossible for MAGURA to test all possible combinations. If you
mount any of our brake systems always make sure that the brakes are in conformity
with the bicycle.

Disc brake calipers can generate a lot of heat during extreme riding condi-

tions. The resulting heat transfer from the caliper to the fork and/or frame can
have a negative influence on the mechanical characteristics of both the fork
and/or the frame.

Insufficient heat transfer from the brake caliper to the frame and the fork,

caused by fork and or frame components having low heat transfer characteri-
stics (e.g. carbon rear triangles) can cause the brake to overheat, with the pos-
sibility of a total failure of the brake system. This can cause serious personal
injury to yourself and/or others.

With respect to product liability we remind all our users that any manufac-

turer (also: bike mechanic or end consumer!) is responsible for the correct fun-
ction of the complete bicycle in this context. Improper combinations and insuf-
ficient installation might cause damage and serious accidents!

. Mount the brake lever to the handlebar with a 5mm allen key. If you install your

brake lever the first time you’ll hear a crack, do not worry because of that.

The MAGURA disc brakes Clara and Julie are compatible with frames and

forks which meet the international standard (IS) for disc brake installation. Only
the front brakes are available with a special Postmount caliper. Never mount
the brakes with adapters or brackets from other manufacturers. All warranty
will be void in case of any misuse! Use only direct mounting parts from MAGU-
RA or the frame or fork’s manufacturer!

Make sure that the caliper fitting eyelets on your frame or fork are free of any paint,

powder coating or burrs. (arrows). If this is not the case you should contact your dealer
who is able to care for the absolutely necessary even surface with the help of the 
MAGURA Gnann-o-mat disc optimizer tool (also see page 9).
