forteh Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 (edited) Assuming you mean the magura evo mounts? ALL maguras used to use them Theyre fine, for starters, not as stiff as 4 bolt but more than useable. Edited April 2, 2008 by forteh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forteh Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 You will definitely need a booster with it otherwise its just going to be flexomatic Also better if you bolt them up solid rather than using the quick release; not sure on the newer evo mounts but on the original 2 bolt system the quick release was crap and never held tight If youre capable with a drill and marking out might be worth buying a v brake booster and drilling the extra bolt holes in for the top magura mounts - sort of making a 4bolt booster for a 2 bolt evo mount Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caleb Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 id rather use vees on a vee frame than magura with evo mounts any day, its really hard to keep a consistent set up with them, just a flawed design imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 I wouldn't really say it was a flawed design, as many riders didn't/don't really have any issues with them, however, it is/was a compromise, and as such performance will always be better on dedicated mounts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angrybeaver23 Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 I remember when i used to run magura's with evo mounts i had some metal bits that sat against the frame/fork instead of the usual very soft and spongy plastic lugs. Also a good quality brake booster should do the job. So long as they are set up correctly ( i mean pads square and bleed well etc) they should feel fine, people always used to comment on how good my brakes felt and i used evo mounts for a long time.But i will conceed that dedicated four bolt mounts are a much better way of mounting magura's.

forteh Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 I remember when i used to run magura's with evo mounts i had some metal bits that sat against the frame/fork instead of the usual very soft and spongy plastic lugs.The original 2bolt mounts had the aluminium arm and the adjustable taper so that you could line it up perfectly, the later evo mounts had the plastic lugs with the serrated teeth cut so it was easier to set both sides the same. As long as you dont use the quick release theyre fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
