burliuokis Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 I have big problem. My rear vee brake is very weak. I use Kool Stop Eagle Claw 2 Cantilever Brake Pads, avid sd5 brakes, Odyssey Slic-Cable. everything else is crap. (sorry. my english is not very good ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jitters Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 (edited) You might want to look into different vee pads for starters. The Eagle Claw 2 pads are great for XC, but didn't work very well when I was experimenting with brakes, rim grinds and whatnot. I have had good luck with Moe V pads (green in color) and a light grind. You may want to experiment with other pads if you do not plan to grind your rims. There are some nice options out there for that set up too.Here is a nice link with some good brake setup tips for starters. Scroll down to "Parts" section 2 (Brakes & everything about them)http://www.trials-online.com/trials-faq-included.php#q4_2Hope that will help a bit.

Headley Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 You could buy some onza adapters that make it possible to run maggie pads. seen here: http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?pr...p;category_id=5 Then you could just experiment with different pads.
