Concussion Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 OK, I want to put a spare maggie I have, on the rear of my old`ish DMR Sidekick.Idea's.....!1. Get some 4 bolt mounts wielded to the frame, as I have 4 bolt mounts spare from my Trex etc. (Seatstays are at a crappy angle - biggish job getting this done - would it be strong etc)2. Get some Evo mounts (Would they fit with 68mm V-mounts / allow the calipers not to be to far out etc?)3. Get some Tensile offset magura mounts to give better caliper position ( prob 4 bolt specific... can't find pics)H`mmm, I'm a bit confuzed/my idea's are a bit of a mess! What do you think?Hope that made sense? Here's some pics I've been looking at etc! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmt_oli Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 Have you tried setting them up with Evo adaptors, set for narrow frame (switch the adaptor left for right, moves things around). if your careful you can get the slaves a fair way back in the mounts too.

Guest Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 Shouldn't be a problem with a sidekick. When they came out originally they were the trial's frame DMR offered. I don't know if they did do 4-bolt version's but im sure that they wouldn't have overlooked the ability to use evo mount's as that's what most people used at the time......

Concussion Posted October 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 I guess I should get some Evo mounts and give it a try, just thought someone could say yes or no after seeing my ramblings! Or come up with a better idea.Thanks for the info though!Anyone got any Evo's going cheap while I'm here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredrico Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 The evo mounts will work because my mate has maggies on his oldish sidekick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Concussion Posted October 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 The evo mounts will work because my mate has maggies on his oldish sidekick Nice one! Although I was worried 68mm was a bit narrow.... ie: my V's stick out when using my D521 rim. Will give it a go though, thanks. If anyone has any evo's, giz a shout! (I will get looking in sale/wanted) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 Yeh, I was sure it would work but couldn't give any evidence. Im nearly sure there are at least a few set's of evo mount's on FS board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
