Front Brake Set Up

Recommended Posts

Mine is:

brake:Hope mono trial

rotor: Magura

rotor size:180mm

brake pad: standard hope ones

Not bad brake, did have a slight problem with it by contaminating the pads a few weeks ago but that was my fault so you can't blame the brake - still a great setup for a mod

This is on my Zona Zip.

Brake: hope mono trial 06

Rotor: hope mono trial

Rotor size: 160

Brake pad: hope

Wheel size: 20"

Pretty standard but it works really well and I am really impressed. I prefer the 06 lever to the 07s because the blade is squarer, which matches my rear magura, and I prefer the look of the old levers.

Brake: BikeHut cable disc

Rotor: BikeHut

Cable: Odysse linear slick

Lever: Avid AD3? (the one like the SD7s but without the speed dial adjustment.)

Rotor size: 180mm

Brake pad: standard

Wheel size: 24"

Works suprisingly well for like 35 quid (25 for the break, 5 for the cable and 5 for the lever off a mate), feels really really nice, better feel than a BB7 imo, but not as much all out bite, still holds well though. (Y)

Used to be:

Brake: Avid BB5

Rotor: Avid

Cable: Something standard

Lever: Avid SD5

Rotor size: 185mm

Brake pad: standard

Wheel size: 26"

Was good but not good enough so I upgraded the rotor to a 203mm Hayes and it works superbly - tyre usually breaks traction before the brake gives out (bearing in mind I'm 13 stone).

Am slightly scared that my forks are going to snap though - did snap a spoke the other day.
