PS In 23 1/2 years, I have never had a SINGLE maintenance issue with the Maguras. Only brake pad changes and pad adjustments.
I am curious re the Magura Hydraulic Rim brakes.... When the pads wear, are they self adjusting or does the space between the pads and the rim steadily get bigger as the pads wear until you replace the pads? I didnt know about the different color pads. I assume they are Magura OEM and perhaps the green pads are softer and thusly offer greater friction and stopping force.
. BTW, I did see your mention of "pad adjustments" but I wasnt clear if that was only upon initial installation or ongoing as the pads wear.
