Thanks in advance Please, re-type that will fullstops. Alomost died.. An attempt to answer your questions Don't buy standard black pads, they're crap. Instead a set of Inspired pads. There very soft compound makes them awesome on smooth + ground rims. Defo' get a rear booster, it'll stiffen your brake and lever feel alot! Wouldnt upgrade to a Magura unless you have proper 4 bolt frame. Personally them adapters are a absolute b**ch to set up. Theres nothing wrong with a decent rear V set up, i.e: Deore arms, Tnn Lgv pads, grind and Shimano xtr lever. With the 19" rear wheel, advantages of that would be due to the thickness of it, it can make life alot easier staying on the back wheel, gapping ( dont 'rim' out ) Hope this helps..

onza1 Posted December 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 Cheers mate. So shall I get the inspired pads or the heatsinks?About the rear wheel do you know where I can get a 19" with disc hub for around £50 for a experiment. Plus do you need somert special on the frame to run a rear disc ? With them pads shall I grind the rim. And would you recemoned a lubed brake cable. And how's that for full stops.......

I'd go for the Heatsink V pads. Will be alot stiffer! Not sure if you could get a 19" wheel with a disk mount for 50, as disk hubs are usually more money. You need a disk tab on a frame. If you dont have one, then you obviously cant run a disk brake. If you end up with Heatsink yellow V brake pads, grind the rim to a sharp medium surface for best performance. I have lubed my front V brake cable, aswell as having a linear outer. Go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blake Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 Also you can't have a 19" rear wheel on an onza rip. It doesn't fit, and as far as i'm aware you cant' run a disk on an onza rip either. . . . Sorry Also you can't have a 19" rear wheel on an onza rip.
