Adam-Griffin Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 Got a set on the way to me, Are they actually any good ? They're only about £5 or so where as the better adaptors (Heatsink, onza, echo etc) Are all like £25ish.These ones: Also, the base is about 2cm high, will the pads hit the rim ok ? What are the lowest sitting Vee brake arms ?I can't really explain it so i hope you understand what i mean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NVWOCI WVS Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 No theyre shit. I ran a set in my monty, because the shit design conveniently made up for running a 26" wheel in a 25" frame. I was running them with an Avid ultimate and a titanium booster, and they didn't last 5 minutes. I was backwheeling a rail as well when they went, and it hurt a lot.
