ItsMatt Posted May 10, 2015 Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 what made you decide to run rear V? Just out of curiosity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Culshaw95 Posted May 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 (edited) what made you decide to run rear V? Just out of curiosity I've tried it in the past as an experiment to see how well it holds which at the time i had cheap calipers and onza magura to v pad adaptors. I saw some fairly good videos with people using them and at the time i kept having a lot of issues with my brakes. I thought as I was working i may try it again but with a better set up which it worked just as well as some of my past past maguras. The only down fall was the lack of rear booster which was needed. But now back to dual hydro Edited May 10, 2015 by Culshaw95 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Culshaw95 Posted August 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 Another Update. Converted to rear V brake again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niconj Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 (edited) Another Update. Converted to rear V brake again Get one of those rare XTR Carbon Boosters (or Salsa for that matter) and your rear brake will performe much better. I ran mine with a TRP Booster in the beginning but putting on the Shimano booster still made a huge difference. Also, the SD7 lever gives you the opportunity to adjust the power of the brake. I dunno how the FRs are but dialing in all the way the little red knob on a SD7 gives you more power (better mechanical advantage/softer bite point). edit: Why not run front Vee as well?

I have a Trialtech 2 bolt booster and that seems to make it perform a lot better than my old set up Im not overly bothered with tpa system as i know i dont need to make any adjustments to the brake. I run the same set up on my Breath 20" had no issues (Apart from front disc on the mod) Edited August 25, 2015 by Culshaw95 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When writing "the little red knob" I don't refer to a TPA but the Speed Dial 7 Lever that gives you even more braking power as you can adjust the mechanical advantage. edit: Never mind. Just saw your setup on the 20''. I'll try that on mine as well running dual boosters. Edited August 25, 2015 by niconj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you mean I'm just use to calling it a TPA (spent too long with the hydraulics :L) Slightly better photos of the set up for you: Edited August 25, 2015 by Culshaw95 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
