Alex@Flawless Bikes Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 (edited) I know for a fact that you can get maggies that fit on v's but not sure where from, could try chainreactioncycles or wigglehttp://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=7138 Edited September 2, 2007 by E6v6i6l Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash-Trials Posted September 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 Yeah i seen some but i wanted the adapters so i don't have to buy a whole brake for about £60 when i can get a Magura for 20-30 and then buy mount separate. (well not me but my mate).Ash~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex@Flawless Bikes Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 Silly isn't it, best bet is to find someone that doesn't want theirs anymore and buy them of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigman Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 best bet in my opinion would be to get a decent vee on there Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with hs33s on v-brake mounts (which I run) is that they flex a fair amount, so you'll never get a brake thats as solid feeling as 4-bolt mounts with a decent booster. Doesnt mean that they wont hold though, with decent pads and a good setup, just think about buying some v-brake boosters and bodgeing them on.

Bigman Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 You can get a VERY good vee brake for not alot of money, example:Dewhore arms: £10 (CRC)Odessey Linear Slick Cable: £6 (Pijn)SD7 lever: £11 (Tarty)Trials vee pads: From £15 - £22Budget setup Total (Minus adapters, Most expensive pads): £49Booster for above setup: Echo Vee Booster £20 (Tarty)So that setup with booster comes in at £69 (And all new parts!)A comparative Magura setup, cost if all new:Rear Magura, 4bolt clamps: £65 (Tarty)Pads: £18 ish (Tarty)So already a total of £83Then if a booster is required which would be an aditional £20 at least you are looking upwards of £100!That budget vee setup would work VERY well, i ran dewhore arms when i first went to a vee and they are bloody good brakes, The only difference i have over that setup is that i am running avid ultimate arms and a shimano carbon booster, oh and home made adapters as i have a 4 bolt frame.My current vee setup has cost me:Ultimate arms: £35 second handCarbon Booster: £20 second handPads: £15 new from ebaySD7 levers: £16 (pair CRC)Odessy Cable: £6Total: £92 so still cheaper than the magura setup with booster I do not mean to create an argument as there are always people that are going to think that because vees have cables etc that they must be shite, all i can say is that anybody who has tried my rear brake has always been realy surprised about how well it works, i realy would not swap it for a magura setup, only benefit of a magura is that they tend to be abit more bitey than a vee, but they still lack the hold. The best magura setup i have ran was an 04 magura with a water bleed, hope braided hosing, heatsink CNC backings with coust rubber on a koxx rim on a simtra with theinbuilt booster and that brake was SOOOOO good, bite was amazing and the hold was good but still not as good as the vee.Edit: Forgot to say that a vee on vee mounts will give a stiffere lever feel than a magura on vee mounts, I put a magura on my czar to see what it would be like and it felt soo spungy, before that i was running my vee setup without the booster and it was still as stif as most maguras i have felt and worked better AdamPS: Vee's don't freeze too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if the guy already has the maggies and just needs the mounts, then it is going to be more expensive to change to v's.Listening to you does tempt me to change to v's though, whats the modulation like with v's compared to maggies, and what affect does a smooth rim have?

Pashley26 Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 Why not just buy HS33's new. You get the Evo mounts free. Jarrod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigman Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 Vees tend to have abit more modulation that maguras, but then again with a smooth rim your modulation should be better than with a grind for example, i could not tell you about a smooth rim as i have not ran one for about 3.5 years If you get some Rock pad greens in vee backings i would say that you would have a very good brake on a smooth rim Pashley26: buying them new means spending £60+ (also you only get black pads, which in all honesty are SHITE!) and if you already have a magura why would you want to buy another just to get evo mounts?Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigman Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 Makes sense to me , A well set up V will outperform a hs33 in my experience. It's down to personal preference i guess.JarrodDo u not realise that i have been talking about how good vee's are in this thread?Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
