GT LTS 1995 with Maguras?

[Ollytron]

On a 1995 LTS the canti bosses are welded so you can not run V - brakes but can you fit maguras on there ok?

I would venture a guess at yes since the Maguras use a bracing leg on the inside of the stays to keep them in place they don't need the tiny holes that Vs do for the return springs.

It was more to do with the angle of the boss's and the Magura brace hitting the top of the seat stays.
You can't use v-brakes because they are to long and do hit the stays on a 1995. Thats why the 96 has the boss's angled away to give cleance

If you've got pictures it might help me wrap my brain around this. But I have run Maguras without the brake booster if your worried about that rubbing, also there are modern V brakes that have shorter legs that might not present the same clearance problems.
