JoNnY__Mc Posted December 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2007 Cheers for all the comments, I hope everyones having a good Christmas!! I'm so glad that I decided to go for a vee setup! I put alot of money into the pads/adaptors as I bought them new, theres is a new lever and cable yet to go on. So far so good though, It feels really nice and works very well I will edit my original post at the top and include a spec of the brake.

How much are they? I could use an SD7 leaver with it couldn't I?oh my god!

JoNnY__Mc Posted December 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2007 Good to hear. How much are they? I could use an SD7 leaver with it couldn't I?oh my god! I thought that was a Pitbull. :$ I'd take that as a compliment Haha nice Yeah your lever will be fine, I'm gonna be using one! To be honest the most expensive thing to get hold of is the 4 bolt to vee adaptors and the pads... I had to buy mine new so adaptors were £30 and pads were £25 If you can find some onza adaptors second hand and then buy your pads off tarty then your laughing My vee arms cost me £10 secondhand off ebay and the lever I had kicking around... A clarks cable from tartybikes cost about £4, does the job Hope I have helped! Have a great Christmas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im starting to like t-rex's now ?They ride really nice, aren't as bad as people think...

Muel Posted December 27, 2007 Report Share Posted December 27, 2007 Hey darling.That is one sexy steed! I think if I ever got a rear rim brake again, it would have to be be a vee.

The thought of owning another maggy scares me at nights.Good lad, my vee worked amazing today :| seriously it was amazing... it didn;t slip... at all, even when it was raining... and the rim was nearly smooth!Having said that, the pin that goes into the frame to give the vee spring snapped off and I had to bodge it... and then it worked again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
