Cant decide if I should stick with my HS22's or get Vee's(6 posts)

Cant decide if I should stick with my HS22's or get Vee'sTrevo

I do light trials stuff, and I have finally gotten my HS22's dialed in and working. I love the grabbey ness, but for some reason I think I wanna go back to Vee's? Ive kinda forgoten what theyre like, can I ever make a pair of Vee brakes work as good as maguras?
Is there anyone who can help me decide?
Anyone wanna trade some good rear Vees for my HS22 maybe?
Why on earth would you change?BCRider

Those are nice brakes compared to V's. Why would you want anything else? Provided they aren't worn or broken of course.

Granted they are a touch more bother to set up but once set they seem to stay good for a long time.

You need to find somthing you want and stick with it and not change your mind when you get bored.

I have Magura's on my STS and they work awesome, but if you want to save weight then get the V's..I use them sometimes and they work great too...it depends on the weight..if you can deal with the little extra weight keep the maggies..

Wondering if you hit your head or something. Can't imagine switching from Maguras to Vees. Go down to your LBS and test ride a bike with Vees and you'll remember why you got the Maguras in the first place.

I have yet to use another brake that has modulation comparable to HS33's. Plus the newer HS33 levers are by far my favorite.

But, ride what works for you.

I'll trade some good Vees for your HS22's. How about a brand new set of XT's?
