v-brake pads?

[zorak]

ok. i know theres been alot of post about brake pads and all. but i couldnt find anything about v-brake pads.
so i was wondering what a good v-brake pad would be for a ground rim?
ive looked around and didnt find much.

thank you.

use the heatsink vbrake backings and glue on whatever hs33 pad you want

[zorak]

oh. thats simple. i didnt know you can do that.
thank you.

you just need to customize the hs33 pads a little to make them fit in v-brake backings... Thats all. Hmm, to make it easier to remove the hs33 pad from it's backing I will recommend to boil it in hot water for a couple of minutes...

Have you thought about some of those V-Daptors, so you can put Magura pads on v-brakes? I'm not sure how well they hold up, but it could be something to look in to?

they are very fat! can make it very hard to set the brakes up.

i set up once and it's been working well since then

your right mate. but once they are set up, i rekon they are fine because i have never had problems

the heatsink adapters are superior, in my opinion
