Gandalf the Yellow Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 the thing i don't get is why a trials specific frame (the trial team giant) comes in v brake boses not 4 bolt mounting.... so i had to use evo mounts, and i think everyone knows how crap they are... takes literally all day to try setting it up perfect and stuff....lets skip to the point... are them new evoII mounts any better at setting up maggies? saw them on CRC for double the price (£29.99).....but it includes their booster.... i guess i can order them from work for cheaper but i want to know if they're worth changing to.... as i F**king HATE them evo mounts!!!! please helpsteve..

Gandalf the Yellow Posted January 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 its a hint to run a decent v brake thought about that...but it just doesn't feel as reliable if you get what i mean...ok i agree maggies feel a bit crap but they lock well.....

CurtisRider Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 try a real v brake and you will soon find out they hold just as well/better than minguras Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Geary Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 It's the same with the base ta26 frame, it's very very gay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poopipe Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 Evo 2's are pretty easy to set up - no harder than setting up 4 bolt mounts anyway. The 'booster' isn't a booster, it locks the clamps in place while you're fitting the brake. I'd deffo advise getting a booster as well cos the evos flex like buggery.

rich4130 Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 Whats wrong with evo mounts? I never have any trouble with them really, 5 min job? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayneone Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 I 100% think you should get the evo2 system its so much easyer than them bloody elbows!The beauty of it is that they come free with any new hs33/hs11 and as most people use 4 bolt mounts they just chuck them in the draw/toolbox and forget about them, so ask on the for sale section for any people have stored away. I have 2 of the mounts but not the evo seteruper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
