I "had" always been a magura person. When I got my 24 it came with a vee setup, avid ultimate all round, and thought I may as well give it a chance to see how good it is. Since that day, my rear brake has been absolutly faultless. So nice to set it up and have minimal maintenance. Has always been silent, great power, doesnt flex the frame, never slips, absolutly awesome. Pad life has also been rather impressive. My red heatsinks have worn down about 2mm in over a year, with 6 months of that on a grind. Cant beat it! Id advise to change to rear vee
