http://www.heatsinkbikes.com << you can buy four bolt adaptors from there and get yourself some pads while you are at it!!!

Add in some good cables odyessy linear slics are good and you will be sorted :)

Not tried this myself, but...

To fit V's to a four bolt frame, you need a special adaptor.

You skrew it into the lower hole and it allows you to then put the V's onto the frame.

...Searching for link...

Can't find any... but they look kinda like a block of metal, with a bolt through it.

They're about £7 a pair...

Will edit if I find some

EDIT: LeedsTrials beat me to it :P Spent ages looking for a link so didney see it...

with great dificulty lol you need a magura callum

2. which is the best way of making 'v's powerful

not using them lol. naaa put a grind on them with some 80 grit aluminium oxide paper, or take wheels off, take tyres and tubes off and get a drill sander and sand them. i did that today for my magura(no tar lol)

Righteo, I personally run the same setup. I have a heatsink adapter, check leadstrials post.

You will need a

Avid Ultimate caliper,

Avid Ultimate Lever

Odyssey Linear Cable

And some CRM's

and your laughing, ceramic rim, and you possibly have the ultimate brake...Pun intended;)
