i ran maggies on a bike which was consequently stolen. they were really good, great response and feel. setting them up is a bytch though, especially on evo mounts. anyway they've gone and i am now running avid ultimates, they took a while to get used to but with the xtr levers they are 100% fantastic. basically i think you will get used to whatever it is you have fitted, decide, buy it, fit it, ride it. if your going to get v-brakes i would reccomend ultimates, they don't call them that for nothing you know.
