kurtis G Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 im guessing you want to get rid of them completely right? the best way would be to use an angle grinder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurtis G Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 yeah like so they aint there lol im just happy with dual disc to be honest best way is to try and get your hands on an angle grinder then or hacksaw, but using a hacksaw will take much longer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlperkins Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 get an angle grinder, cut off as much as you can but dont go right to the frame, then get a big file and start filing away until you get real close to the frame, then a small fine file to finish it off, then you can use fine sandpaper to smooth off completely. job done. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurence--Trials Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 whats the point in removing them? They're not doing any harm and if you go to sell the frame then its another selling point.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlperkins Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 haha no worries man, but i was joking about the weight saving, you wont even notice any difference. however it does make your frame look a lot better. I had a neon bow 20" frame that I took the maggy mounts off, filed everything smooth etc to run dual disc and after powdercoating it looked like a brand new frame. good luck chap.

William trials Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 whaaaat? why aren't you use magura instead?! is's so much better! but just take a angle grinder as everybody say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogre Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 removing the mounts seems silly to me, if you think you'll sell the frame in the future you've successfully alienated a huge number of potential buyers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezmtber Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 grinding may well reduce the strenth of the stays. it probbably not worth the bother. but dont worry about selling it, if you ride it well enough it will be snapped in a year or two or at least full of dents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skorp Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 Its no problem to remove your Maggie mounts. I have done this on my inspired. took the anglegrinder and cut it off at the welds. Don't be too agressive, because it can heat up and ruin the alloy. Making it crispier. (If your REALLY agressive, but i do not think it any problem) then its just to take the grinder and grind down the rest of your welds. Grind it as close as you dare, without ruining your tubing. Then use a file to finish it off smoothly, mine is not noticeble when it got paint over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
