MAGURA’s Gustav M to retire
This brake slowed down John Tomac, Shaun Palmer and the national hero Jürgen Beneke. Until today MAGURA’s supersolid first disc brake has a legendary reputation to be an undestructible brake anchor featuring unmatched solidity and longevity. After 13 years good ol’ Gustav is nevertheless going into retirement now.

Apparently you can get them at your LBS, according to the mail we got at the shop this morning from Magura. May get a set myself at this price.
