adjusting rim brakes

Hi...can someone please tell me how to adjust the Magura rim brakes on my Tasman inpulse 8 ?

My last bike a Kalkhoff Sahel i360 harmony had the same brakes but there was as a knurled knob below the brake lever, this was easily turned to adjust the brake.

...my current bike does not have this knob....how do I adjust the brake.

....cannot find anything on google....please help thanks....Mike

Thanks Trex, that doesn't work.

...when applied, the levers are now 1cm. from the grips.

....desperately need adjusting,

cheers....Mike

Try downloading the workshop pdf it should give you everything you need to know. www.magura.com/uploads/media/downloads/FELGEN_WS_07_E.pdf

I think what you need is on page nine.

I know, I know, I know

You have to release the brake from the fork and push the pads in so they touch the rim. Squeeze the brake lever gently so that there is 1 mm gap then reattach the brake. It may take you one or two tries to get it right.

There is a good video on YouTube that shoes the Magura man doing it which helped me understand better.

Which reminds me mine needs done too...

Thanks people....It appears that I need a T25 torx key

never heard of this....gonna get a set tomorrow. see how I get on

If you have a star type bit with a drill set that will work fine. Just make sure it fits okay. The job's a bit fiddly but once you get the hang of it quite easy.

It should have come with the bike that really annoys me. Here pay big £s for your bike you will love it P.S. if you need the brakes set bring it back to your dealer

My brakes were a kit I mounted and the Torx key is of course in my onboard tool kit.
