The brake levers and callipers of the different MAGURA disc brake
models
are completely different and not compatible! Never mix and match parts from the
models. Any misuse might cause serious accidents!
MAGURA manufacture these braking systems according to the valid standards and
make many rigorous product tests. Because of the large variety of forks and frames available
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 callipers can generate a lot of heat during extreme riding conditions.
The resulting heat transfer from the calliper 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 calliper to the frame and the fork, cau-
sed by fork and or frame components having low heat transfer characteristics (e.g.
carbon rear triangles) can cause the brake to overheat, with the possibility 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 manufacturer
(also: bike mechanic or end consumer!) is responsible for the correct
function of the complete bicycle in this context. Improper combinations and insuffi-
cient installation can cause damage and serious accidents!

. Mount the brake lever to the handlebar with a 5 mm 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 brake Julie HP is compatible with frames and forks which
meet the International Standard (IS) and for Postmount (PM) mounts. Depending on
the mounting standard and/or rotor size adaptors are used for a proper installation
(cf. table on page 21). Never mount the brakes with adapters or brackets from other
manufacturers! All warranty will be void in case of any misuse! Use only direct moun-
ting parts from MAGURA or the frame or fork’s manufacturer!
Make sure that the calliper 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
will be able to clean the surfaces, providing an absolutely flat/even mounting surface (also
see page 9).
ATTENTION: The treatment of suspension lower legs made of magnesium might
be dangerous because of corrosion! Always follow the safety instructions given by
the respective manufacturer! Always make sure after having treated the disc brake
mounts that these are protected against corrosion by using an appropriate protective
paint.
