muddyfox Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 So whos using the new magura louise? How does it compare to the hope mono trial?Ive been using a hope for about a year and im not all that impressed with it. When its working its awesome but its not very consistant. Also ive hit myself pretty hard on the lever clamp bolts a few times and its really pissing me off so i took it off and put my spare marta on the bike untill i get something else.The question is will the louise be up to the job? I ride natural and hate cable brakes...I have noticed the likes of Fontenoy using it.Anyone want to swap one for a mono trial? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishy Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 They are really underestimated brakes. I loved mine, bitey, with hold and modulation. Would have another one any day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modman Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 I'd personally go for a shimano deore disk, mega loads of power and well cheap, not heavy either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy_k Posted October 27, 2007 Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 i run one and as long as it works i wont get rid and when it does die ill just buy another one any more need to be said seanSean's disk realy does work well. It's the best front brake I've rode, it's silent too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash-Kennard Posted October 27, 2007 Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 mines really good, works well, but im just too lazy to set it up so the pads dont rub, mine could do with a bleed too.get one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.trial_dude Posted October 27, 2007 Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 when i had the hope try-all version,it was good,but not consistant,sometimes it leaked a bit.the lever from the hope is better than the magura one.but,i've had 2 magura louise and there awsome !they don't leak or whatever, setting them up isn't that hard either.there are a lot of french top riders who use them in combination with a try-all disk,because it's lighter than a hope try-all discbrake.i use the same setup and it's awsome !cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trials-lover-josh Posted October 27, 2007 Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 my friend dose its quite nice good hold and some other trials riders say to him its lush Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lil Jsy Chris Posted October 27, 2007 Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 I've got a hope now but used to have a louise. It was not as sharp as my hope but still a very good brake a felt nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jsy Ben Posted October 27, 2007 Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 Considering how many people "complain" about their Hopes (including me) compared to Louise users, i'd snap up a chance for a swap for a Louise anyday and buy one over my Hope if i was anygood at saving. Great brake imo from using my friends and riding others with Louises on, consistent modulation in situations where you need it, bite and hold under high pressures.

JonMack Posted October 27, 2007 Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 I'm really happy with mine. I'm considering buying a different rotor for it purely for looks, it's a brilliant brake and a piece of piss to setup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigjames Posted October 27, 2007 Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 mines all good, been impressed with it. had i for 6 months and its not the sharpest brake in the world but great hold and modulation.go for it. but dont expect it to be the same as the hope.
