Guantanamo Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 (edited) Looking to replace my maggies with a rear vbrake setup and am wondering about 4 bolt - v brake converters. Like the heatsink ones, but he's not making any more at the moment. Neon ones look nice but are they any good? Don't really want onza ones, i've heard they break and don't have many holes for adjustability. Any recommendations? Also anyone use the paul v brake? think its called the motolite, opinions please if you've any experience of them Thanks Adam Edited February 17, 2010 by Guantanamo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben John-Hynes Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 I use Onza ones. I'm really really impressed with them. There is 3 different positions where it clamps to the magura mounts, narrow-wide rims. And they're really stiff! I'd heavily recommend them!

Guantanamo Posted February 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 What frame and rim are you using? Sunn BFR rim ( i think) about 30mm wide not ground Marino fourplay, although for some reason the brake mount spacing is 90mm not 95mm Thanks Recon i'll need v brake booster?

matthew_coggan Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 Thanks. So it's definalty better than your maguras? the more i hear the more convinced i become. it holds just as good but takes a split secolnd longer to go on, so will take a few rides to get used to. What frame and rim are you using? My frame is a Zoo Pitbull 04 any my rim is a Echo TR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never use break boosters so i will say no, but its a matter of opinion, if uve always used them then i would put one on but if you havent in the past then i wouldnt bother.

ogre Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 team onza mounts! although i had to take an angle grinder to mine when i put them on my 07 zoo cause the mount for the vee sticks out of the bottom of the adapter (wierd to explain if you havent seen them) really good though good and stiff, well made, plenty of room for adjustment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
