what made you decide to run rear V? Just out of curiosity

I've tried it in the past as an experiment to see how well it holds which at the time i had cheap calipers and onza magura to v pad adaptors. I saw some fairly good videos with people using them and at the time i kept having a lot of issues with my brakes. I thought as I was working i may try it again but with a better set up which it worked just as well as some of my past past maguras. The only down fall was the lack of rear booster which was needed. But now back to dual hydro

Another Update. Converted to rear V brake again

Get one of those rare XTR Carbon Boosters (or Salsa for that matter) and your rear brake will performe much better. I ran mine with a TRP Booster in the beginning but putting on the Shimano booster still made a huge difference. Also, the SD7 lever gives you the opportunity to adjust the power of the brake. I dunno how the FRs are but dialing in all the way the little red knob on a SD7 gives you more power (better mechanical advantage/softer bite point).

edit: Why not run front Vee as well?

Front brake works so i don't see any need to change it, I always had rear brake issues and this brake is the only one that works for me as i use to be dual hydros. I have a Trialtech 2 bolt booster and that seems to make it perform a lot better than my old set up Im not overly bothered with tpa system as i know i dont need to make any adjustments to the brake. I run the same set up on my Breath 20" had no issues (Apart from front disc on the mod) Edited by Culshaw95

How did you get this booster onto your rear brake? When writing "the little red knob" I don't refer to a TPA but the Speed Dial 7 Lever that gives you even more braking power as you can adjust the mechanical advantage.

edit: Never mind. Just saw your setup on the 20''. I'll try that on mine as well running dual boosters. :D

I know what you mean I'm just use to calling it a TPA (spent too long with the hydraulics :L)

Slightly better photos of the set up for you:
