trials4life1 Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 it might sound stupid but i was unsure if i could use a magura on my front rim??????? and would there be any afects?Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G_! Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 magura in front wheel is good if u put "tar" (Asphalt fabric) what type of braked u want? because magura front is more sudden that disc, disc is more progressive (i think) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 Don't put tar on, it WILL be shite.Yes you can use a front magura, I've never heard of a rim caving through the pressure from the brake pads, apart from on XC bikes with the rim is almost worn out.

Aarron on a echo lite 08 Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 Hello, I got it on my front and it works well, but it depends on what pads I would recommend heatsinks on cnc backings.Thanks, Aaron Danes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trials4life1 Posted August 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 cheers m8 i have got sum heatsink on the back and they bite like a b*tch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogre Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 (edited) koxx bloxx browns are prety good on the front, you could use a verry light grind to give a bit more bite + hold, while not loosing all proportionallity + such.

Mikee Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 i would reccomend a smooth rim and green rock pads for the front. i used that for a while untill i got a disc and i though it was really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
