Sorry if this is an extremely noob question, but i just got Felix's KOT, and i'm wondering if they'll be able to fit my plaz Vbrakes pads and such without being really bulgy... and how do vbrakes mount on 4bolt??

thanks for the help

You'll need adapters to run v-brakes on 4-bolt mounts.

Upside down, Thats a nice way to locate the spring tension thingy. What is the purpose of the second booster, more boost?

I guess you tapped your magura mount out to M6

see but i'm running XT arms with crv's and deore housing (yea yea i know, but i couldn't afford XTR and my fucking lbs only had flak jacket and xtr in shifter housing for some strange reason). anyhoo, the crv's budlge out like crazy on my other frame (zebdi mk5) and it annoys me cuz my heels keep banging against the arms... will this be a problem on my KOT?

and i kinda want to keep my ultimate lever and use that, even tho the deore is squishy as shit... if all else fails, i think i might just sell the ultimate and go back to me 5 yr old maggies

Yes, more boost, i hate when it's mushy...

No, i tapped the end (last 10mm) of an M6 bolt to M5 to fit the frame.
