WIGAN Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Right i have decided to go front vee just basicly because i am sick of maggies ripping my forks to peices and they freeze and leak also, so just wondering what pads are best to use on a vee on smooth rim? Any suggestions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danny mills Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Heatsink and viz brake pads work well.My friend uses the heatsink ones on a vee brake with a smooth rim it works better that a magura when it is set up right.

T-vee Rider Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 The rock Greens are a good choice, they have excelent hold but not a good bite, the bite is still good though.Lets go easy enough so you don't go over the handel bars.I was running mine on a dead grind so i don't know if bite will improve on a smooth rim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
