mehukatti Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 I'm thinking of trying a XTR V-brake for rear just to see if I would like it more than a pimped out HS33. I would probably get the latest M970 lever from CRC, but there is a possibility that I could get older version of the V-brake itself second hand. The question is, have there been any other than cosmetical changes to the V brake over the last few years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basher Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 There not right good on rear, the parallel push system develops play after a while. Get a avid sd7 or ultimate or XT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NVWOCI WVS Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 if you're getting a vee brake for the rear...dont get an xtr, i've used xtrs and ultimates on the rear and the ultimate is a billion trillion* times better.*this is an aproximation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskimo Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 XTRs aren't known to be very good. Most people including me will say Avid. My cheap Avids have been alot better than my Shimanos. I used to prefer Shimano to Avid years back but Avid have definitely made a big improvement now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
