Reinold Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 I would keep the maggie and try to set it up good but If you could get a good vee brake then i would have to say get a vee brake because it would save you a lot of hassle.

_skj0lsvik_ Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 Vee is the shiznaz on bt raven5.0 frames! I've had one myself. Actually, I still have it.....But the rear end aint that stiff so you should try to get hold of a decent booster. Housing and wires: Personally I've found that I dont need this expensive shit, just use normal black or grey shimano stuff.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Housing and wires: Personally I've found that I dont need this expensive shit, just use normal black or grey shimano stuff..Tried a decent housing and cables - jagwire ripcord. While the housing is very stiff, the cables were spongy like nothing. Changed to regular cables and got very stiff brake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taylor1991 Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 Id go for a Vee brake: less hassle, cheaper to run and from what ive heard Vees are just as good as maggies (Well the more expensive ones any way ) Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Duck Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 Go for a Vee! I hope my Magura doesn't hear me saying this but, Maggys are more hassle that their worth to be honest. And an avid ultimate set-up works better than Maggys anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
