Concussion Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 Don't listen to scumbag :angry: (sorry dude, I had to!) I think they have a reasonable setup for a beginner on a budget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simpson Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 NO..... plasic maggies are shit as they wont lock as well as a metal piston casing if thats what you mean and for beginers a Vee is better as it is easier to adjust and set up without fiddling with grinds pads tpa and accurate set up (never knew a plasic maggie existed) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogre Posted November 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 How can they be "resonable" i havent checked out the rest of the spec yet(comparin it to the non maggi 2six) but from what i can tell your paying an extra 200 squid for 8 gears (7 on the cheaper model) and some slightly larger tyres, and i have an incling that the front fork isn't dedicated 4 bolt, wow that's such a skank, methings just putting hs33s on it and lopping 50 quid would have been better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan6061 Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 It all depends on the Vee set up. Some 'V' Brakes are bloody hard to set up and can generally just be shit. Wjatever pads you have. Unless you start spending some good money on some, but then your talking the same as magura's. And for what it's worth, I'd just get HS33's. They have alot of power and are easy to set up once you know what you're doing. No fiddling around with springs etc :ermm: Oh yeah, HS11's are shit :angry: :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t-mag_rider Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 Is the whole thing plastic, or is it just the lever blade? Please help. Thanks. Ollie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 Is the whole thing plastic, or is it just the lever blade? Please help. Thanks.

Nay Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 Ive always felt saracen are very over rated to be honest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpson Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 Ive always felt saracen are very over rated to be honest Personally i think that they are under-rated for the price that it costs to get 1!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urpedigreechumdog Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 Personally i think that they are under-rated for the price that it costs to get 1!!! They are under-rated, they're on the up like what onza did. The new team frame sounds promising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHIBBY Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 What about there frames, they all seem to be very BLAND! I mean that the £300 frame looks the same as the £1250 frame, and if you compare them to other bikes at similar prices you can get alot nicer looking bikes with a better attention to detail! just my views.

mat hudson Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 yea, but looks arn't everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHIBBY Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 No i agree but they ddo make a difference, even if its attention to detail around the CNC'd areas they just look like they have not bothered to think about it at ALL! i just think that they have let them selves down. Again my view. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpson Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 To be honest it doesnt matter what it looks like! im more bothered about how it rides and how it feels on the back wheel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevecoust Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 I just had a gander at the saracent trial bikes and they are selling one of them with hs11's last time i checked they are made of plastic that cant be good can it? yes they look abit crap dont they i had some that i got cheep and they broke within a month. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watto Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 NO..... plasic maggies are shit as they wont lock as well as a metal piston casing if thats what you mean and for beginers a Vee is better as it is easier to adjust and set up without fiddling with grinds pads tpa and accurate set up (never knew a plasic maggie existed) hmm they still have metal slave pistons no tpa and just plastic lever and metal lever blades Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHIBBY Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 Yeah i do agree performance is the main factor but, they have a well established team and place in the market. So i thought they may of come up with some sexy new frame different from all the rest for '06. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thurston Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 To be honest i have had better v brakes than my mates have had HS11's but thats just my point of veiw i guess (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
