Which Brakes Do You Use, F&r? - Just Added 'pie Charts'.

[cai]

Hey basicly I know large proportion of riders have HS33's, but some are going back to vee's, and some are going to double disc's. - and others are going for a combo of the lot.

I just wanted to know what the proper percentage were (- new members ). I understand many people have more than one bike (which have different setups), so I added the 'multiple answer' function.

Also if you could specify what your setup is, that'd be great (what grind, booster, v-daptors, size of disc etc...)

Cheers...

Yes, I know that.

But he had a spare BB7, and I wanted a Hydro.

[Sam F]

04 rear maggie with cnc backings with coust pads and avid bb7 front with 185mm rotor. Both work a treat!

[kid creole]

on the back i use a stick through the spokes and on the front i jam my foot in the forks.

[cai]

So the majority of you run a disc up front (just over 52%).

And rim brakes are by far in the lead for the rear, especialy magura's - I really thought more people would of had a rear disc! But it's good to see 20% of us have vee's vee's are the greatest.

Keep the votes coming.
