MadNick1.2 Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 (edited) Hi all,Does anyone know if the rear disc mount on a mad phase 1.2 is international standard and also if i bought a hope mono trials disc brake for it would i need an adaptor to fit it.Plus what size rotor would be best to fit this set up.I ask because my newly ground rim is eating brake pads and i think long term getting a second hand mono would be better.My rear wheel has a hope pro 2 hub, with 6 bolt for disc.Thanks in advanceNick Edited July 2, 2009 by MadNick1.2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mclovin Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 get a hard comppound pad or a pad with good wear lifelike the phat pads or coust there both amazing pads.!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadNick1.2 Posted July 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 I also have another problem when setting up my maggies which is pushing me towards disc.I cannot get them to sit square against the rim, think this is because i have a very wide rim. I have already fitted the tensile offset adaptors which enable me to fit the pads but as i say they wont sit square against the rim and at the moment on a slight angle.

Muel Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 Unless you're incredibly smooth I wouldn't bother with rear disc, the only rider I know who can stand the flex is Tarty Adam, and he's incredibly smooth.Just get some harder pads or wait for the grind to go blunt!

MadNick1.2 Posted July 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 I was going to get some fhat pads but they have to be set up perfectly square to the rim which i cannot achieve.What other pads would be an alternative.I have just put some Rockman pads on, the blue one.Hopefully these will be an improvement when i go ridin tonight in Tamworth.
