Picking up a frame with v brake bosses and thought a magura hydraulic rim brake would be neat. Just for the front, won't be using a rear :)

I don't have the right gubbins and bits for setting them up so would like a lever and brake all set up ready to install and use. Ty!

They are only 40 quid brand new

Yeah i did see that but it isn't clear to me if they'll need setting up, bleeding etc and I don't have the kit for all that.

They come with the hose full length all the way to the rear so you will need to cut it but it comes with new nut and screw in the box.

this video explains it, if you do it correctly the oil will not come out an you don't have to bleed it. I think I used a Jagwire hose cutter.

Cheers tbh it looks like a bit of a fiddle for me and I'm a bit put off, maybe I can persuade a responsible adult to offer some supervision 👍

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
