1337 Trials Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 Well if you got v-brakes on your bmx then I dont see why not P.s Goodluck |Matty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 yes they will work.BMXs usually come with a U brake, they have two styles of pad fitting, tradtitional vee style, or post clamp. You should really use specific pads for the post clamp virsion, but a vee pad works anyway, it can mess the thread up though so you might not be able to use in on a vee after.Always worth researching though, look at your brake and then search for it on google and see what type it is.The only other point is, those maggie to vee pad adaptors take up a lot of room, if you are having trouble with space with traditional pads, then I reccomend some heatsink backings with either heatsink or joypads as the braking material.

poopipe Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 It'll probably be a U-brake - there'll be mounts like a V but higher up the stays.V-adaptors should work fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskimo Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 You shouldn't really bother with those coverters i recon.Instead buy some,Plazmatic V-fly Vee Pads orHeatsink CNC backed Red Pads for VeeBoth are superb. The flys are more spungy but hold alot nicer. Especially on chrome rims. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mixmaker Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 maguras pads - intended for rimbmx breaks - intended for rimforward chainings - maguras pads MUST work on BMX:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radfax Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 brakless is very nice but you soon get VERY annoyed at it, i used to ride brakeless on my old fit but i then put a 33 on it, just for the sake of it. You can do anything if you just give it a bit of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurtisRider Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 girls(pauloliver)bitchand theres nothing wrong with wanting a working brake, makes things like abubacas easier and things like manuals should be brakeless anyway (so just dont use the brake ) soooorted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A!! Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 you can't hold your bars in the approved fashion way if there's a lever attached to them. bloody mountainbikers have no style Damn straight, brakless is where it's at (previously converted to the brakeless ways by poopipe ) For me when there is a brake there i will use it even when i don't really need to, so i ended up trying brakeless and i feel a lot smoother and find i don't bottle out of things as much, and my manuals are loads better now as before i always covered/used the brake.
