CraigMackay Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 wondering what the rear magura marta would be like in comparison to a magura, in terms of how well it holds.how powerful is it in comparison to other disk brakes, would prefer if people who have a monty 221pr would answer this rather than people who have just heard of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 Far too weak. Get a rim brake or a Hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omgnoseat Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 I didn't actually notice alot of difference, but I had to carry water with me an spray it on the disc every 10 mintues to get a good hold though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 The brake itself is plenty strong enough hold-wise. However, the design of the lever blades is not strong enough for trials and the blade will eventually fatigue and snap if left alone. I changed them immediately to Hope Trials and put the Magura's on my XC bike. On that bike they also seem to go strange when left unused for a while and require regular re-bedding in.Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
