basher Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 You say maggies are better but only because youve never felt a good setup set up well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben John-Hynes Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 True,i've only ever felt 1 Vee,and apparantly it was set up well,and i didn't like the feel.Maybe it wasn't set up correctly though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NileBrown™ Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 I ran a mint vee set up, had loads of hold as I could hang on the edges of ledges and still carry on, but I didnt feel safe though as it didnt make a noise. I HAVE to have a noise when I have a good brake set up as it lets me no my brakes are working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben John-Hynes Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 So do V's not make noise?Why's that?Because they have the same brake pad on the same type of rims.Quite confusing!Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigjames Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 i think the parts your using will be a big part of the problem but you also want to make sure your setup is as perfect as it can be, the parts your using are only as good as youve got them set up.....why do you need a noise to tell you your brake is working or that you've made a move. surely it should be done on feeling. my rear disc makes no noise at all but i know when its holding, if its going to hold and when ive made a move.ive just got a v setup, lil bit better than yours, but from what ive heard it should be as good as a disc in bite but with the hold of a maggy, but still with some modulation as im running a smooth rim.avid leverwethepeople linear slic cablezhi adaptorsavid ultimate armsheatsink cnc backingsheatsink red pads (soon to be rimjam reds)salsa carbon boosterif that doesnt work then im sticking with discwhy should i have to grind my rim to make my brake work!
