Muel Posted August 7, 2007 Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 They can't be compared to HS33s. Because they are disc brakes.My mate took his off when he got it and fitted Hope Mono Trial 07s. He seemed to think the maguras where crap but I have never used them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil H Posted August 7, 2007 Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 A Magura Marta would be a serious serious error. My friend has had two on his stock, both of which were preety cack. Would never trust one on the rear. Something like a hope mono would do the job if you have the money for discs, have to be perfectly set up and worn in though.Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NileBrown™ Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 A mate of mine runs martas on his Monty pr and they hold well but the thing I don't like about them is the feel in the lever. They feel very detatched from the rest of the brake and are too easy to pull for my liking. This is when you compare them to the feel of a BB7 or a Hope. However you do get use to it, like any new brakes and once this happens they are a very nice set of brakes to use. However if you buy them as a pair on their own, they can be a bit pricy and would rather use the money to buy another option. Ie bb7 or hope mono trial.
