Hi Slowtwitch. I have an athlete who can't get a resolution with her hydraulic brakes on her P5. Has been to two different LBS, and they can't seem to get em fixed (they keep leaking). Any recommendations on a brake and lever swap?

Thanks in advance.

Can you be more specific?
P5/6?
If P5/6 Magura is the only answer.
The Magura RT8 &RT6 are hard to find.

Ok
Leaking from the leaver? Caliper ?
It’s a simple system lever, hose connection &caliper

It's leaking from the lever. They have taken the system completely apart and replaced the lines but they still leak. Brakes last about a week.

I’m going through this with my P5-Six right now…Magura brakes completely shot…did the TriRig solution hold up for you?

I listed a set of Magura brake levers and calipers for P5-6 (new) for sale in the classifieds.
