mata22 Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 (edited) hy all, ok so i have problem, i have gold viz rim front,it is singlewall and it has 6square holes, i realy dont know the name of the model.so the problem is, i want to build it for my front magura wheel but i have noticed that sidewalls are not as usual, sidewall is not paralel to the brake pad, for example i put a picture( sorry for crap picture)is it going to be good with magura brake or this rim is only for disc? i was looking al ozonys team bikes and they have viz rim like mine but they are runing disc, also i thing that nico luque is runing same viz rim in fron with hs 33 so i am confused Edited September 19, 2009 by mata22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Trials 31 Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 You talking about the line in the middle? It's fine, it just wears your pads funny. Also if it's not parallel try setting your brake up better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxxis26 Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 if your using standard magura clamps you should be able to get them square but i would guess thats a disk only rim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 Are they actually that badly out of parralel? Most rims are a bit like that, my atomz rear rim is like that and I think the front one is aswell.If you use clamps with a C-clip you can get the pads to hit the rim straight, that's what I have to do with mine.

mata22 Posted September 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 (edited) no i didn,t think about the midle line, sorry i am from croatia so it is harder to explain, evry normal v brake rim has paralel sidewalls, this one doesnt.http://www.vizbikes.com/002.html4th pic from bottom is mine, ok the same as minemuel - they are not so badlyout of paralel, but the thing is i have echo new clamps that dont need cleaners for magura cilinder, so i can adjust cilindr just in-out not to side Edited September 19, 2009 by mata22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottcj9 Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 I have the same viz rims with the angled side walls on the front and rear and I used to have the viz mounts too and i just found the pads wore at an angle. The brake got better once the pads had worn to the rim but it took a little whileScott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
