Magura doesn't make any good brakes. Stick with Shiimano and SRAM's new stuff. Codes feel amazing.

Can Boxxer 27.5 lower legs be installed on 26" Boxxer RC stanchions?
I've heard this is possible...but it seems like you would need to replace the rebound damper, spring?
HELP!
Need to convert to 27.5 on the cheap!
Thanks

if its anything but the new Debonair boxxer, you can swap lowers, everything else stays, if you are running a charger damper, you will need to remove the insert, and carry it over to the 27.5 lower.

Thanks bro...I heard it was plug and play, just wanted to make sure before I pull the trigger. I'm looking at just buying the standard boxxer 27.5 lowers for the RC, they're about $250, and installing them on my 2014 boxxer RC...I don't actually have a "parts fork" for the lowers. I don't have a charger damper, just the standard rebound damper...will I have to get a longer one, for the longer lower leg?

The only difference between 26" lower, and the 27.5 lower is the axle drop out, no new parts needed. swap over the seals, put the fluids in, and Send it!!

saints are shinier, and therefore better

SLX have been great on my ht. Not any feeling of being under powered. I kind tell the difference between SLX and my XTs on the fs.

Hey everyone, quick question about Shimano I-SPEC II. I have a friend who has Shimano M315 brakes, now I know they aren't I-SPEC II, but looking at the clamp it look slike you might be able to slip in the Ispec end in between the bar and the clamp. I know it probably would not be the absolute best setup, I just want to know if if would work. Don't see why not...but I'm no expert.

Attached images of both for reference. Thanks!

Those pictures don't show the knob of metal or plastic on the outside radius of the i-s II shifter mount that fits into a shallow depression in the inner surface of the i-spec II brake lever mount clamp. So you'll have to line up and drill a small hole in your brake lever clamp

no offense but magura is gross, don’t personally know a single person who can recommend their brakes.

Magura seems to have an odd fetish with plastic brake levers on €300 sets

here's a novel idea: replace the levers with something tougher.... Say, Zee?
