I think its much more likley for a maggie hose to split or come off a barb than a cable to snap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trials wannabe Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 front bb7 (or vee in summer) and vee ont back all the time (cant deny they work! just personal preference I guess)Ali why is it that vee brakes are better than magura? I was just wondering maggies are more expensive so therfore shouldnt they be better ? btw. what vee's do you use ?answer to the question t-liteboy id personaly have to say maguras and i also prefer the look of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just wondering maggies are more expensive so therfore shouldnt they be better ? btw. what vee's do you use ?answer to the question t-liteboy id personaly have to say maguras and i also prefer the look of themactually, an avid ultimate vee setup is more exspensive than a maggie, but the quality is MUCH higher!I like vees as they have much MUCH more holding power, are easier to pull than a maggie (reducing arm fatigue), pads last longer as they dont wobble around, pads are easier to replace, brake is easier to setup, brake is usually quieter, can remove wheel without letting the air out of the tyre, can get spairs in just about any bike shop in the world, no split hoses, no freezing parts, can adjust the power, can adjust the lever feel, the pivot is lower and the arc of the lever is more natural.enough reasons?

gianttrials Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 (edited) it's all about personal preference, try things out though before shedding out a load of money on bits, and there's always arguments about whats better, JUST RIDE and don't worry too much.gianttrials Edited January 5, 2007 by gianttrials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
