Skoze Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 I'm loving dual disc atm Never really got on with Maggies. Discs still have drawbacks (spesh since i've got bigguns) but all in all they're really good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Duck Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Well and truly been round the houses when I comes to brakes.Never had rear disk though, because its a silly idea. Especially with the way I sidehop (to the left).I've had 7 maguras (with pretty much every set of pads under the sun, pre '08 deng lever blades, '08 deng leverblades, metal tpas etc etc)I've had an Avid SD7 and an Avid Ultimate (with various different cables, various pads again)I've had a BB7 (180mm)I've had a Mono Trial (180mm)I've had two Magura Louises. (180mm and 190mm)Setteled on - Magura Louise front with a 190mm rotor, and an HS33 on the back with Koxx Browns and a standard lever and TPA. Goodridge hosing though. Which I am very happy with.

SaC-PrO Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 I would use v-brake on the front, then I would use a magura hs33 on the rear. That is the set-up that I use and I love it, I would never change it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jack101311 Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 V-ee's are poor unless your willing to pay a bit for some decent ones which you'de be better of buying maguras which do cost alot5 but if quality is what your after then discs are for you but discs are not ideal for trialsing because if you land on the rotor your stuffed unless your willing to buy a new disc rotor.I have a hope disc on the front and a magura on the back of my 05/06 t-pro and have had no problems with landing on it and i hope to keep it that way. But i am a beginner trialser so until i try bigger and better things i do'nt know.Really i narrowed it down to magura and disc brakes for you so from here it's up to you.thanks jack rawsep.s Good thread it will help many people.

steve@banbury-trials Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 i have a fairly cheap vee setup and it was mint,sd7 arms and cheapo avid levers and tesco cables Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogre Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 (edited) V-ee's are poor unless your willing to pay a bit for some decent ones which you'de be better of buying maguras which do cost alot5 but if quality is what your after then discs are for you but discs are not ideal for trialsing because if you land on the rotor your stuffed unless your willing to buy a new disc rotor.most things are poor unless you pay though, you can do a decent vee brake for under the cost of a magura [don't quote me on that for definate] but when you consider all the effort you have to put in for setting up a magura [grind/pads] normally vees seem to come with decent pads anyway. hhmn i'm rambling i'm not to big on vee-facts.i run dual cable disks my front brakes being a bit shity but rear bb7 with 200mm rotor the hold is rediculous and the ability to adjust the feel of the brake [pad positioning an pull ratio] means i can have the brake feeling how i want and it's nice + quiet which makes my riding feel smoother.edit: this sidehoping badly will kill your disk rotor is bullshit to if you have a decent rotor [hope or avid] especially avid 'cause there a bit thicker, you won't do shit to it if you land on it. i'm a prety heavy guy and i've not bent mine, and if your sidehoping properly/normally, you should be landing at an angle to the wall, not perpendicular so catching your rotor just doesn't happen Edited July 24, 2008 by ogre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
