JackC123 Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 What about double v? You you use one of the back of your drone, you should know how it is. Seeing as you are on that all the time rather than trials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D A N N Y Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 (edited) Im running double disk at the moment but changing soon to a back magura because summer is cumin and in dry weather i would say a magura with a good grind and pads is better than a disk, and its also boring with no squeak. so i say front disk and back maggie F T W !Danny Edited April 2, 2009 by D A N N Y Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Scarlet Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 It depends on the situations.When I started out I was on the bandwagon of; "I'm never having a rear disc as I need brake noise as a placebo, so I know my brake is working".Having riden some peoples DD set-ups, I was in love, it just had a solid hold to it and no noise just yielded a really smooth style.The only thing that put me off was that my front Hope was tempremental and occasionally slipped, and that everyones bike I tried to manual with rear disc the second I went to feather the brake, it would lock and slam the front wheel down.I've finally got around to ordering a rear disc as; I now have a disc frame, I have the money to, and I've had enough of my magura.I can easily say that I would rather have a good working magura (nice audible honk as it locks the pads into place) than a disc anyday, but I tried different pads, different grinds, the second I got a good brake working it would only be a matter of a week until I would have to rely on tar to get a hold.So we'll see how it goes, I should be getting the disc today, hopefully I'll be able to whack it on and get the majority of it bedded in today.

Rob L Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 I have two double disc frames (Echo Lite DD and Czar DD) and I love them! I wouldn't ever go back to rim brakes because you can ride in any whether and the brakes only get better! Hope dual disc bikes are the way to go trust me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave! Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 I've only ever rode a double disc set up once (for like 5mins) and in that short space of time I didnt really like the feel of a disc on the rear.I use/run a double maggie set up personally, beacuse I like the bite and hold of a magura with a hefty grind.But latey bin considering going front disc mainly due to the continuous failure of hold on the front But I suppose its all down to personal preference.

neonneon Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 I want double vee's, but I can't afford avid ultimates.Double magura for street - double disc for comp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sprog! Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 I would decide on what the weathers like where you live. If it is wet quite a lot then get double disk as they work better than maguras in the wet. If it is dry then double maguras. Personally I prefer maguras, because the noise, stiffness. I also prefere maguras as they are not as much fuss as disks, some others may disagree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 Discs don't work at all in the wet? They're effectively a smooth rim! I had DD for nearly 2 years and not once did they work better than a decent maggy in the rain.A maggy with a heavy grind on an Echo rim with Heatsink reds is amazing in the wet, that's what my mate had and it was better in the wet than in the dry!
