Magura 13mm 195 Bleeding?
Seems like when i first start riding my hb is good and after awhile it still works good on idle but no way it'd bring me off the bar and doesn't lock the tire. Basically pretty stiff but gets spongy as the day goes on.
I remember when I stuck it right out of the box on my 636 it was nasty locked up the tire hardly any pull with 1 finger. Took the hose off to put the clamps on and ever since it's been kinda crappy. Good starting the day and crappy as day goes on. I have it on my F4i now
I'm running galfer pads and I actually did get brake fade sun which I've never had before. I'm assuming there's a little air but just wondering if I'm missing a special trick or something. I mean even when i'ts crappy its still plenty good for idle.

once you have boiled your brake fluid [brake fade] you should change all the fluid and that will also take care of ant air ..
when changing brake fluid i put a hose on the bleeder at the caliper and just pump and pump till all the fluid is new ,just don't let the res get so low as to let in air and keep the end of the hose high so it fills with fluid and doesn't let in air
