Alloy version of Magura HS33 TPA knob *EXISTS*!

Hi there,

I'm sure we are quite a few relying on the TPA (Turbo Pad-wear
Adjuster) knob of the Magura HS33 brake to ease the pain in the legs
while going down steep downhill paths.

Well, I personally have killed a few knobs (the thread, actually) after
having "overstressed" this little red plastic part, typically when I
screw it so much that the pads will press strongly enough inwards onto
the rim to allow me going downhill without having to touch the brake
lever at all. Very convenient, especially in the most difficult/steep
spots!

I have always found this "unexpected" use of the TPA knob very funny
and attractive - even though I regreted that the part would not be made
out of alloy instead of plastic.

WELL, THIS IS UNTIL YESTERDAY, WHEN I FOUND
THIS (\"HTTP://WWW.TARTYBIKES.CO.UK/PRODUCT.PHP?ID=2065\") TO
BE AVAILABLE.

Yeah, sure, this is a little expensive for such a little part - but I
still take it as a potentially very interesting upgrade for the Magura
HS33 users.

I should get mine over the next few days, will mount it on my Muni, and
will report how good (hopefully) it is.

Anyone has tested it already?

Cheers, MadC.

Hello everybody,

I am also interested in these kind of alloy TPA knobs. Does anybody
here have such? Are they worth the money?

Thanks,
Flaviu
