The XC disc brake wheel
There already exists enough literature concerning wheels, so just a few tips how
a well-built X-country disc brake wheel has to be.
Use spokes with a diameter of 2 mm (arc)/ 1,8 mm which you cross three times.
No radial lacing with disc brake wheels!
Head-inside-spokes (=arc-outside-spokes have to be pulled, i.e. these spokes point
forward on the front wheel; on the back wheel these spokes point forward on the rotor side
and backwards on the drive side. All spokes have to be stressed equally and high.
Mount the q/r skewer of the wheel on the opposite side of the caliper!
Never use ultra lightweight quick releases with titanium or aluminum
axles for your wheel sets in combination with a disc brake. You will not be
in a position to realize the necessary tightening torque!

Use only genuine MAGURA accessories! Any parts manufactured by other
manufacturers like lever blades, hoses or brake pads have not been tested and
approved by MAGURA and consequently nothing can be said about their short and
long-term function. Never use those parts! All warranty and product liability claims
will be void in case of misuse!
Never change the paint, the finish or the consistence of your brake. This might
cause total failure of the whole system with possible serious consequences!
