shimano xt brake on bmx

(1/3) > >>

workshyfop:
before i buy one, any one able to clarify if an xt v brake (one with the linkages) will fit on a 05 PK  Ripper okay?
also, if anyone has used one of these and the new DXR v brake, any feedback would be appreciated. many thanks, Neil

darkersomeday:
yes , its a v-type brake so will work on your 05 ripper,

shimano product is the devils work.

check out the odyssey A-brakes on e-bay now, the guys selling them proper cheap and in lots of different colours,
seriously good brake, the arms angle inwards matching the seastays rather than sticking out and catching your legs like the shitmano will,

the dxr's are just old cheap deores that are silver! way to go shimano! w.a.n.k.e.r.s :daumenhoch:

theRuler:
i have a cheap tektro v brake on my ripper, and it works really well.
and it has a simple no-frills design

Lazarou:
I'd go for the A brake, i've used these for years with no problems...
