Dan6061 Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 (edited) Decided to get a Vee brake as I'm fed up of hydraulic brakes.Spec:Zona Zip Frame. (Silver)Echo Lite forks.Old Zoo Cranks, Adamant bash, Plaz cog.Rear Wheel - Black Profile laced to a 2007 Kris Holm rim.Front Wheel - Black Hope XC laced to a 2006 Echo rim.(Bodged) Echo Team Stem.Older Zoo bars.(Old) Chris King headset.Front Brake - Avid BB7, 165mm Hope Gothic rotor, XTR lever, Odyssey Slic cable.Rear Brake - Avid Ultimate, Plaz CRVs, XTR Lever, Demolition Slic cable, Adapters made by Edd Potts.Pics:Really pleased with the rear brake, and the adapters Edd made for me.Such a solid feel to the lever, and the CRVs bite well even with my shitty, worn grind. Hope you like it. Edited January 9, 2008 by Dan6061 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan6061 Posted January 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Brake holds really nicely. Can't be arsed with paint. Doesn't seem to stay on the frame too long, so it just chips and scratches off too easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan6061 Posted February 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 ahh shit dan, i never realised that was you, sorry man, would have been nicer if i knew you were there.Haha, no worries.Back brake was wank in Oxford! Which was why I didn't ride at all..Got home, put a new inner cable in, lubed it all up, and set it up properly, and cleaned it all.Now it's good again!
