Vees are the absolute shiznit if you have a decent setup and they're indeed set-up correctly. The set-up you have described sounds shit hot, I assume you're running a grind? The heatsink vee adaptors will allow you to run a very wide rim, and they're pretty stiff too I hear. There is no comparison (imo) between a decent vee and a magura. Vees take it every time. If you need any justification of that opinion, alot of top riders use vees and are beasty. Ali C, Felix Mucke , to name a few . Good luck with it, should be sweet!
