@goodgsea1985 Magura is actually a pretty terrible brand, their brakes **** pretty bad, they’re not reliable at all. I had somle magura louise on my DJ bike and they kept having problems,and they’re not very airtight systems. Avid Or Formula brakes are much better, and yes most of the time hydraulic disc brakes are better than mechanical disc brakes but Avid BB7 brakes are just fantastic, sometimes better than some hydraulic disc brakes cos they’re easy to set-up and cheap and efficient
discsbrakes are good but machanical breaks are crap
i got 3 mtbs one of hem got shimano deore xt rbm 770 v brakes the other are hydraulics from tektro augria comp
and the other got magura louise also with oil
and i have to say that the shimano deore xt v brakes are way better than the oil brakes from tektro
but the maguras are the best a pair cost 240€ but they are worth the money charged for
how do u do with oil breaks?
Do I need a speshel rim
It would be better without the obligatory rap song in the background.
i have mtb bike that has disc brakes how can i replace the rear disc brake for v brakes?
@CORRIEJGREEN ther’ye the same as disc brakes, except the hydraulic disc brakes that cost around 100$ each
i can do this even if im blindfolded

Disc brakes super-rock!!!
Hi, may I know where did you get those V brake post caps? I don’t seem to be able to find them anywhere online. Thanks for the great instructional video!
do you need a specific hub to install the rotor disk.or does all hubs are compatible for disks rotors?
with biggie in the background that’s how i do it too
that was shit
i just spent all that time watching an idiot turn screws! Next time please describe what you are doing correctly-HOW TO OPERATE A ***** not installation of disc brakes
I drove 3 hours to Temecula CA TWICE to get my pair of Avid Elixir R 160mm for about $220. theyre my 1st pair of discs. I am satisfied with them. but the annoying thing is they make a high pitched squeak when breaking, the brakepads rub on the rotor very slightly, so when the bike is parked and you move it a few inches front n back, you can hear the brakes squeak. and the pads literally have this much | or NO clearance from the rotors, they shouldnt be soooo close and adjustment is impossible.
im here in tucson i bought 2009 bb7′s with 185mm rotors instead of 160mm because i hear they warp less and stop better and the pair ran me 100 from any major online bike retailer like wheel world. i watched you tube videos and thats was it. It’s a piece of cake however the only difficult part is adjusting the caliper. I saw bb5′s for sale on craigslist for 30 the other day. check there first.
Great!
My 5 year old son can do this…
Once the Wheel Hub has the Mounting for the Disc, the rest is not worth mentioning, my dear friend…
