Tony Harrison Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 can't believe the Maggie evo mounts could cope with the riding of the pros!they were always crap when i used them!Ha ha! I've just this minute finished setting up a rear brake with Evo mounts!! What a nightmare! Once you get them set up, they work well, but they're 10x harder to get right than 4-bolt mounts.That Cannondale was awesome - just a shame they never produced them for sale. I'd have forked out £500 for one like that, but there was no way I'd ever have coughed up for one of those 'Ashton replica' frames. They were just XC geometry, pretty-much. I think Martyn said somewhere once that the geometry of the first Justice frames was based on the Cannondale, so that probably gives an idea of what that bike was like to ride.
