Alex.loves.boys Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 Hi.Im running a front vee at the moment and its good, but i want something with a little bit more power.Sooo.I stumblled accorss these on fartyhttp://tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?id=2005Are they any good?Flexy?I feel a vee has more hold than a maggie, plus seeeing as i have v mounts on my forks, and i have no money to get a maggie together i thought theses might be good?Any reveiws would be nice?or maybe adam or dave going into a bit more detail if they've tested them or whatever.Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigman Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 I have a set you can try if u want Alex, they seem ok, but not realy suited to a rear brake, in my oppinion.........Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lankyri Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 i used to run a maggy on the front and then switched to a vee (avid 7 with avid pads) i already had a grind on the front but the power i had was incredible just put a light grind on the front with avid pads and it worked great for me also held really well in the rain which is nicehope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomeoneNew Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 I've been running those adapters for a few weeks now, they replaced my maggie and the power in the V is sooo much better! Only problem i find is that there impossible to tighten up properly so you need to occasional twisthem back into place, takes 2 seconds and then they're great!
