one way to put V-Brakes on Mag mounts

I know this thread is old and disc brakes is cool and all that but just wanted to share my take on a Magura → v-brake conversion that I did today. Not ground braking different but just another example of how easy it can be done with simple tools and cheap hardware.

(for each side)

  • 40x40x2,0x25mm L-bracket
  • ISO7380 35mm-M5 screw
  • M5 20mm spacer/washer with 8mm outer diameter
  • 3x M5 spacers.
    (the M5 3mm spacer/washer to the right was not used)

Just used a Dremel (multi-tool) as shown in the background to make a few cuts in the L-bracket and then used a bit of grease and some Loctite to put it all together. What exact spacer and washers you need will likely depend on the v-brake used. I just used some cheap/generic that I sourced from Aliexpress together with the other hardware.
