basher Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 right...so what if my maggie never slips... btw, old grind too, dead pads... will hold me on any ledgethen it has all the advantages...Not really as maggie are just as spongey as vees, hose spliting, new style snap and tpa thread strips usualy unless you have a metal one. So really it doesnt have all the advantages.Well anyway its preference really as they have different feel so i supose one isnt better than the other.

Bigman Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 why? vees hold better, but need constantly adjusting, are heavier and dont bite wellmaggies bite well, and can hold amazingly if you learn to set it up correctly, lighter and have a good choice of padsVees don't need constant adjusting Ash, probably less than maggies do, and they bite well enough, like you say though, they do hold very well, MUCH better than a magura, and realy i think i am the only rider who can REALY coment on the hold of a brake being that i weigh pretty much twice ash kennard (20st ish) and my vee very rarely slips! They may be a tad heavier but meh, who cares for a working brake, you can loose the difference in weight other places on a bike.Also do you bite coment, you should have tried my vee when i had koxx greens and no booster, it was easily as bitey as a mag and still had more hold Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidehop Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 (edited) My vee was free,... Holds better than my front maggie. It was set-up perfect and bled perfect i assure you. Vee's are just mazin boys....and as the topic starter said Bens v's are awsome... Edited September 1, 2007 by sidehop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davetrials Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 I keep tearing noodles in half on my front brake is there such a thing as a good noodle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalheadA7X Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 (edited) My onza t-pro from 2000 had v's front and back and they had good feel and stopped you well. For some reason though i couldn't manage to set the rear up as well as the front one so i always felt let down by the rear. My new bike should be ariving soon and it has Maggies front and rear. Can't wait to see the difference between them.From what i have tried on numerous bikes hydraulic disks had the best stopping power i have tried but they were just too big and venrable for trials use, which is where i guess magura HS33's and V's have thier big advantages.chris Edited September 1, 2007 by MetalheadA7X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
