anzo Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 hope discs suckAh, you see what you've done there is you're wrong.Hopes don't suck, what does make them suck is people who don't know how to set them up. Hope are a very well established company, and I'd bet they spend more on research for brakes than any other manufacture.I used to have a maggy on my old bike, it was nice, but its high maintenance and it will cost you numerous bleeds and a fortune on brake pads. Or, spend about £140-150 on an 07 Hope and not worry about it until your brake pads need changing...I run a double disc with two 07's; amazing brakes!!

Adrian Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 iv tried the lot, vee, bb7, maggies and now a hope mono trials... and the hope rules over all of them. vee brakes are a bitch to get right, as you dont have a huge selection of pads compared to maggies, but when i had mine i have to admit it was pretty good (rock pads were ok but the material came away from the rest of the pad lol.. plazy crv's on smooth are awesome) but in wet it was sh=it, maggies are good (koxx reds or zoos on smooth) but have like a stupid amount of bite so your brake is either like on or off, which i dont realy like as i dont feel that i have tht much control for natural if you get me.. as i can slide down rocks or do nice wheel swap as i just juttered everywhere lol i think bb7s feel like vees lol and look wank.. i didnt realy like the feel of them lol... but the hope is a monster! holds when you need it to, feels absolutely lush, looks lush and is just so nice for natty and everything, i feel like i ride smoother now with one lol bit wierd... but yea anyways thats my advise/experiences wih front brakes.... and for rear... maggie with a medium grind nd plazies or blue rocks dont get anything with alu backings as the snap the pins in your callipers. go for hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
