gianttrials Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 If the V works stick with it, unless you really want a magura or disc?It's personal preference but many top riders use V's so they can't be that bad.Just look at the way Ali C rides and he uses V's.

Ali C Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 stick with vees! just get some good pads and a grind and your sorted, may be worth while getting a nice cable too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom 20 Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 using the spell checker might help as well.. oddesey linear cables are good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 any avid lever, caliper will do the job....though the more exspensive the lighter and stiff they become.The key parts are the pads and cables. Get some heatsink backings and run what ever pads you want in them (or wait till my voyads (kinda german accent on Joypads) vee pads come out )I would reccomend nokon or a bmx linear cable, they are both good.

gianttrials Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 I think you'll find Ali C knows what he's talking about and i remember a test done a few years back that tested the power of avid arch rivals and they were as powerful as the top disc brakes at the time. (the V's were well set up though, and very expensive but well worth the money) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 cables can be bought from bike shops (wiggle, alansbmx etc) my vee pads arnt for sale yet, but should be soon hopfully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
