Guys; i have problems with my Back Magura brake - ie the calipers are not returning after i release the lever; they work perfectly on the narrower rims but on the wider ones the caliper tigthens at the brake track but then doesnt return properly - if i help it to return with a pull it works properly

any ideas?

1. move a washer from inside to outside ( see magura online manuals)
Or
2. shave the pads
Or
3. if on the rearwheel, move the rearwheel backward in the frame if possible
Or
4. let out some break fluid.

I'd say the opposite of #4. Sounds like you don't have enough fluid once you loosen adjustment screw.

Step 1) Move concave washer if you haven't already, then tighten adjustment screw accordingly.

If # 1 doesn't produce satisfactory results:

Step 2) Bleed brake
