CurtisRider Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 heatsink make alloy backings, but they arent exactly cheap, re-useable however....i used some old rim wrangler backings and made rimjam rubber fit in, these lasted a good few months and offered crazy and reliable braking im still yet to make some more cos im lazy you could try making your own backings, alot of hassle though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatsink Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 I'll be making the Vee backings on their own available at a cheaper price - Just need to add this to the website for you with prices etc The latest design (Dec 2005) has been tweaked so that the recess gives a snugger fit then ever will all Magura pads from plastic backings. It should be possible to use superglue to retain the pads since they will already be tight and the longer ones (For some pads the top of the recess is 47mm long, some 48mm) need to have 1mm shaved off because naturally the backings are designed to accomodate the smallest first.Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
