Why Magura rim brakes?

Magura’s are nice for big tires because they can have as much clearance as you like; the brake cable runs into tall tires with v-brakes.

But if they fit, v’s work great, I use a set of old XTRs on my 29" with a 2.4" Ardent tire. The very short cable run eliminates most of the usual advantage of the Maggies, which is that the hydraulic line doesn’t have the stretching/friction problems that long cable runs have.

Here’s a thread that talks about how to mount them.
