Yeah and I can imagine they are pretty overbearing brothers that would be constantly there

"Dear X (Was it Harold/Ian???) Please accept this letter as notice of my resignation from employment at Halfords. I will not be returning to work my notice following the (unprofessional) verbal assault I received in front of a customer for using my initiative and arriving at work early. I am still undecided as to whether to take the matter to the area manager. I hope that my resignation highlights a flaw in your managment style and that you can go away and learn from it before your staff turnover increases further. Regards Matthew Gibson" After reading this I'm assuming it was Harold?

The Smiths - Bit melancholy for a Friday but I can't get it out of my head

I think I would...but then again I quite like the girl next door kinda look...they always surprise you!

I've always thought there is something not quite right about that family.....they seem far too close lol Saying that, Rachel is an absolute Godess

2 or 4 bolt dude?

Yeah the Evo mounts are wank my old gt Lts has a set that I installed in 1999 and I've never had to adjust them but the ones on my trials bikes have been inbearable! Everything is just such a hassle with them! I lose interest if i fiddle more than ride lol

What's your issue with maguras dude? I recently switched to v brakes because of my incessant fiddling with Maggys!

You could get a good second hand bike for half that.,. Spend the rest on beer?

Ive heard a few people say that theu are surprisingly very good and I'd be interested to see how the pads themselves perform if you ever test them out...

Not really...probably about an hours drive away. It is up towards Carlisle but on the coast.

I'm from Cumbria and moving back to Workington in a few weeks if you fancy meeting up for a ride?

The attraction with V's are that I have more experience with them and am more confident at setting them up. I'e never managed to get the HS33's to how I want them (bite with very little pull on the lever) which I always did with v brakes. I just seem to spend more time fiddling with the maguras than riding...its becoming obsessive!

I may refer back to the original topic...anyone got any v-brake bits for sale? lol

Update - filed the guides but it didn't make any difference. They retract to a certain point and then just do not go any further and there is always a gap between the pad backing and the slave. I'm going to try re-bleeding with Magura oil tonight to see if that makes any difference but if that doesn't work is it worth just biting the bullet and buying a new slave?

+1 I'm crap at getting up stuff. I find zap tapping is an easier method but I really want to be able to pedal up stuff and land on the rear etc.

Tried that dude...it works fine if you hold the other one and works a bit better but is a bit slower...but I can put up with it being slower...its the fact that it won't retract when the pad is on that makes me think the pad is catching...like forteh said.

I'll give that a whirl thank you very much!

Yeah it is slower than the other side (and when not clamped in) but when you put the pad on it just doesn't retract on one side...I'll check that it isn't catching though too. Sorry if this is an obvious question but why do I need to empty the water and fill with oil after removing hoses etc?

Fair enough...like I said, I thought I would be stating the obvious lol

Cool thanks...current set up is a Simtra ST1 frame with water bled HS33, tensile off set clamps, and echo 2 bolt booster on the back. Light grind on a V!Z rim and heatsink yellows. When the maguras are set up they are sweet but I just seem to be fighting against problems which takes time away from riding. Current problem is sticky right piston that doesn't even retract (until forced) when the pad is clipped in. I would like to continue to use the HS33 but just seem to hit problems. Any thoughts on the sticky piston issue would be cool too lol

I might be stating the obvious but don't you need to get their permission to re-create/re-use their logo?

Hi everyone, I am considering switching to a rear v as I am so sick of faffing with HS33's and can just not seem to get them how I want them. What are the pros and cons for this? Is there any particular reason why a HS33 is better than a v or why I shouldn't change? I have 4 bolts for a magura set up, presumably I need some sort of adaptor to fit a v onto it? Also, if you have any recommendations for set up that would be great as to what type of lever, calipers, booster, cables etc are best for a trials set up. Thanks in advance, I've used v's for years but never on a trials bike so all help is gratefully received. Chris

Cheers chaps I'll have another whirl later
