Danny MacAskill - Riding slabs with the New Magura Gustav Pro Ebike brakes! 

Yet it still feels like a 2 minute ad in the end...

Plz put sponsored in the next sponsored video…

Indeed. But... This was disapointing

i know right, start watching, realize its just an ads, keep watching, cuz cant stop.

I dont need the brakes, just the skills 😂

played golf in the rain the other day, nice temps, no wind. passed another group and the guy said 'like playing in Scotland, without the wind and cold'. so my question- is it really that bad in Scotland even in summer? is the weather that foul? part of my ancestory is Scottish, but i haven't been!

Aye, it's pish! ​@@thecount1001

Next time you encounter him, ask him to go get his shine box.

They do the Raceline Editions in that to this day.

False.

The Sachs Power Disk came out around the same time too afair

What's really crazy is Shimano released hydraulically actuated rim brakes in 1969 with a valving set up in the lever to allow one lever to actuate both brakes without the rear wheel locking up, then they released a mechanical disk brake in 1971, forgot about the whole lot and waited till the late 1990s to release a hydraulic disk. At that time XTR V Brakes were what most pro DH riders were running up front because they were more powerful than the disks their sponsors were selling.

@@peglor I'm not a pro but from what I remember in the mid 90s XT/XTR V-brakes were the best out there for MTB. Magura rim brakes were more powerful and the defacto brake for trials but had very little modulation. Having done some swatting up today to remind myself the pro DH riders were all riding Hope disc brakes by '96 though (sorry Magura). Edit: Its definitely fair to say the Magura Gustavs were amongst the first hydraulic disc brakes for MTB but the pedant in me had to comment 😜

@@sandy_knight Magura rim brakes were absolutely not more powerful than VBrakes - I used both HS33s (The most powerful version of Magura rim brakes) back to back with Shimano XT VBrakes, and the VBrake absolutely destroyed the Magura brakes in any power test, as well as having better bite hold and modulation. Where VBrakes did fail is in terms of maintenance demands for riding in a wet muddy climate as well as even good cables being nothing like as smooth as hydraulics. I got good ad making shims from soda cans to take up all the play in the parallelogram pivots on my brakes to keep them running nicely. The frightening thing is the pads that came on the first XT VBrakes were so hard they wore through 3 rims before they got to the point they needed replacing - and that's with plenty of muddy gritty riding. That's the reason trials riders are still using HS33 brakes (Filled with water or antifreeze rather than more viscous mineral oil), because the really precise feel at the lever gives confidence. Since they're either deliberately coating the braking surface with tar or resin to make it sticky or angle grinding the braking surface so the pads bite into it, modulation is absolutely not a consideration, just out and out bite and hold. Hope Trial Zone or MT7 Magura disks outperform any Magura rim brake setup or VBrake setup setup I've ever used on my trials bikes though. Disks are a lot easier to damage of you snag one on the edge of something you're hopping onto too though.

yes and they were way better than Maguras too. As an aside .. I was just this afternoon taking off my shockingly bad new-gen XTR brakes and replacing them with my 1.5 decade old Hope 6tis and those brakes are the dogs nads honestly.

yes, Magura had the first hydraulic brake. HS 22 or so. The Gustav came a bit later and was actually marketed for long distance travel bikers and bikes for 2 people. my Gustav still performs since 2004 like on day one in the steep Austrian hiking paths.

@@mountainmomentsyes ? No.. that’s right , Formula had first hydraulic db for mtb in 87 not Magura.

Oh... Disc brake? Still wrong.... "In 1994 and 1995 Hope launched a hydraulic brake system at Eurobike with a concept twin disc system,[11] although only a single sided version was available to the public. The new braking system saw its first win for Rob Warner at the 1996 Grundig World Cup DH in Kaprun in Austria.[12] Thank to this success, as well as good results in other races, Hope expanded its facilities to Skipton Road, Barnoldswick (39,000 sq ft) in 1998."

The HS33 was a Hydraulic Rim brake that was very sketchy to set up, once set up it was good. I think Danny is talking about disc brakes from Magura.

@@francescxavierbulto9848he just forgot to mention that part…. 😄

Wrong . Formula made the first mountain bike hydraulic disk brake in the 80’s. Article on Pink Bike (history of the disk brake )

@@BarringtonRobinsonII Formula started in 1993, 87 they start the company. industrialdesigncatalyst.wordpress.com/2020/05/09/a-brief-history-of-the-bicycle-disc-brake/

Don’t get your hopes up

I couldn't disagree more to your point about the lever adjustment. I have found it incredibly useful on my MT7 Pros. It's especially useful to me when you change pads or rotor on only one end of the bike. You can really dial in the bite point so both levers are perfectly balanced. I've also found it useful to gain a little more brake confidence at the end of a full day of DH laps. For the dry squeaking issue, yeah, I'm with you there! I have had decent success by truing my rotors with a dial indicator. It's tedious but it's the only thing that has worked. After a brake heavy day, they're out by a few thou again anyway so it's a constant battle. For the most part, I just live with it now. Hey, at least I don't need to wear a bell on the trail for hikers! lol

​@@tbroekemeier Sounds like you're talking about the reach adjustment that comes on every lever, which does work, rather than the bite point/free stroke one that you can add as a pin with a cam on it that you rotate that limits how far the lever moves outwards at rest. This replaces a constant cross section pin that every MT7 lever ships with.

giggle. practice. modulate.

That's my favourite! 😃❤

that would be killer. Flat mount/brifter brakes that I've used so far all suck

Well I didn’t miss it, but Danny did! Duncan did a fine job filling in, but not quite the same. Apparently the Red Bull overlords had him jumping over an F1 car somewhere! They pay the bills, so fair enough. Maybe next time…

These are just ebike brakes made to be used with abs. And to make them more appealing they named them Gustav for nostalgia sake.

been there, new bike a few months back, not looked back. You live once!

@@andrew8200m It's not that I don't want to ride again, I just don't have anywhere to store one to keep it in good nick 😥

@@Billybobble1 buy a wall mount and have it in the living room, I’m sure you’ve had your endure the absolute garbage your missus has plastered all over the place because she (not you) thinks it’s classy and looks great. Now you can add a piece of art work for fairness? There’s always a way :)

Danny is too good at balancing, he never drops anything! He cautiously slides it into your notifications :D

@@myaiua i mean, you're not wrong haha

I know, you wait half a year for another Danny vid and you get "...and now a word from our sponsor"

Nothing escapes you, eh?

Pretty much 😂
