Having owned some Maguras in the past, my first thought when looking at these was, “omg do those things look fragile.” I had a small piece of plastic that covered the bladder break off of mine, and the Magura reps told me it was irreplaceable and a new brake was necessary. I bought the new brake, popped the piece of plastic off and put it on the old brake, and it functioned as if it were never gone. That experience and the delicate builds, in general, put me off the company. They would have to come up with a real rock star new brake for me to try them again.
