Title: Magura H33R Brakes on a Nomad?
Post by: lestat_12345 on June 07, 2017, 08:07:06 am

Does anyone have any experience using Magura H33R rims brakes on a Nomad MK2? Are they any good?

Most Magura brakes don't fit Thorn bikes, to get the most mudguard clearance we position the V brake bosses as high as possible so that the block on the V brake is at the bottom of the slot, the problem is Magura HS series don't have the same vertical adjustment as V brakes so generally don't line up with the rim well enough.
