raimund-aut Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 It's vee brakes i think and i think it's those old school montys V-Brakes came on MTBs in 1995Monty begun putting magura hydraulic rim brakes on their bikes in 1989 - Until then it was side-pull rim brakes in U style. While they had Magura Brakes on the T 219 CH, they had cantilever brakes on the cheaper models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Manning Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 I was around then, I was 6.It is funny, how people think that what we do in trials today is new, when it was being done then.Has anyone seen footage of Hans Rey when he first come about, similar style of bike, less the saddle, but he was doing some serious good stuff.

r2wtrials Posted November 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 There are people out there who like to have the bikes for old times sake but at present there doesn't seem to be much value... But if you can find one, or someone that has one... try and ride them. Feel so bad compared to what we ride now.What's worse is that when i was kid and doing motorcycle trials on bloody great Bultaco's and Montesa's i used to go up the woods and ride sections on my Raleigh Chopper !!!
