Now i know how to set up an Avid, definatly Avid for me. Of the 3 Mono Trial's i've felt, none offered as much power/bite as my 185mm BB7, and i've grown to like the feel of it. The Hope's felt spongey in comparison, and although the power felt nice, i just prefere my Avid. Not really tryed anyone elses' Avids but everyone who's been on my bikecycle has been suprised/impressed by the power.
