JoNnY__Mc Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 i really like that matey looks well pimped... how does the back v compare to a magura? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadsP Posted April 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 i really like that matey looks well pimped... how does the back v compare to a magura?Well, I changed to vees mostly because I was worried about my maggies all the time I hate to hit the maggie cable on something and then the whole day is ruined!Its really nice to know that I can hit the cable as much as I want The whole feeling in the vee is really really nice.. I can barely feel when i touch the lever - and when the brake hits the rim its completly solid! The performance is pretty much like my maggie.. brilliant (maybe a bit better )Heres a picture of the old setup.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Drewery Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 I like that, looks perfect for smooth natural riding. For some reason I couldnt trust a vee brake on the back for big drop gaps, even though I know if they are set up right they can be better than maggies.

JKH Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 I should post pics of my beat up Coust. First batch shipment and still going strong. It's only cracked in one place (drive side dropout), although I've managed to hold it together with a guitar string. Downtube's taken a proper flogging too. Your bike looks mint compared to mine.
