On the subject of lever adjustments, Hygia Elite levers are quite long, because the lever fulcrum extends well outboard of the lever perch. I one-finger brake from the outer end of the lever, and I also set my levers close to the bars. To get the Hygia levers to feel right, I had to position the levers quite a bit inboard of the grips. With the Shimano shifters I was using, that meant that I had to reach quite far to get to the shifter while I was braking and sometimes that would put my hands in the middle of, as opposed to outer end, of my grips. To set the lever close to the handlebar, I dialed the tiny Allen screw at the base of the carbon blade inwards as far it would go and fortunately, I ran out of adjustment when the lever felt just right. I suspect that someone with small hands may need to get the lever closer to the grip, so I would conclude that Hygia's brake lever shape is not for everyone. If you are someone with small hands perhaps try the Hygia Elite (as opposed to the Hygia
Master Cylinder Magic: Magura employs an injection-molding process which combines loose carbon fibers in a resin mixture to make the bar-clamp/master cylinder housing. The design of the mold is reported to align the fibers in the optimum direction as the resin/fiber mixture is forced into the cavity. Beyond a significant weight reduction, the entire perch/master cylinder unit pops from the mold ready to use. Visually, the MT-8 lever is dramatically different from its metal Marta counterpart. The radial cylinder and reservoir are packaged internally, so the MT-8 looks slimmer and lacks the Marta's anodized aluminum faceplate. Like all Magura brakes, the MT-8 system uses mineral oil. The bleed port is still easily accessible from the front of the perch to make for simple servicing, and a split handlebar clamp, along with a mirror-image design, means that the MT-8 levers can be flipped right-to-left for moto-style riders (a Magura first). The clamp is also injection-molded carbon, and is available

How do I know if I need a brake adapter?
May 12, 2008 by mattmtv | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs
I am needing to pull a trailer and I don't know if I need a brake adapter or not. It is an 10ft covered trailer if that makes a difference. I am dumb when it comes to trailers. I have installed a 4 pole wiring kit and I have ordered the 7 pole adapter to connect to the trailer. Any advice would greatly be appreciated.
Check your Trailer, Does it have Brakes???
no brakes, then there is nothing you can do about adding a controler
to your tow vehicle, for it has nothing to work with :-)
If your trailer has brakes, then you need the type of controler that the brakes work with.
Check with a local trailer sales place, they can tell you what you have, and will have recommedations about what will work with your setup

First does your trailer have surge or electric brakes? Any idea how much it weighs? If it has electric brakes and is heavy you will need a electronic brake servo for your car and 7 pin round connector.

Can anybody help me hook up a trailer brake controller?
Jun 24, 2008 by Sky High | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs
I got a Hoppy controller that has Red, White, Blue, and Black wires coming out of it. My truck is a 2007 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD (newer body style) that has Orange with Black Stripe, Black with White stripe, Red with White stripe, solid Orange, solid Black, and solid Green wires. Do you know which wire goes where? The truck manual says nothing and the Brake Controller manual just says you can buy adapters for different model vehicles. Thanks for any help.
my answer is try to check it out on auto repair shop...dude

how do i install a brake controller in my 08 pathfinder? ?
Aug 23, 2008 by andy | Posted in Car Audio
i get that you plug it into a harness under the dash, but my vehicle is only wired with the 4 flat wiring for the trailer lights? once i set my controller up is it just a matter of getting a 4 pin to 7 pin adapter and then my brakes on my trailer will work? or am i missing something?
U can do it a bunch of ways. First U wire up the brake controller and run the wire/s to the back of the vehicle.
Now look at your trailer and see what kind of a plug u have on there. I'm sure its not a flat4 because they are only for lights.

Fuses are blowing and I can't find the short in brake system. Please help.?
May 03, 2006 by aloisec1 | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs
I recently changed my brakes on my 2000 ford e-150 van and the next day my brake fuse keeps blowing along with my dash lights. The only electrical thing I can think of that might have happened is when I first pumped my brakes after changing to get compression I could have pinched a wire. I've changed my brake switch and I also tried cutting and bypassing the brake switch adapter to see if it was bad with no luck. I might also add that the brake switch has play up and down and i dont know if it is supposed to be locked tight or if its normal. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
You should try connecting a jumper across the brake switch. The lights should light up, If they do then you can eliminate the switch. I don't know if you have ABS, or regular brakes. You can try this link to aid you:
