LiamWood! Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 Welcome to the forum!Well to answer your brake question, it depends on differnt things.Most people use a magura hs33 rim brake becuase of their good bite and hold and a wide selction of brake padsBut people use Cable discs such as Avid BB7s or hydrolic discs Hope Mono Trials. Poeple have they own personal prefernces on what to use i would go with a magura becasue they are easy to set up and if looked after last for ages.With the Dob frame, they are very very weak so expect to find some crack a few months down the line, id take a look on www.tartybikes.co.uk and have a look at the new Zoo! frames.And never buy from TrialsUK!!!

Dale-Hill Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 (edited) And never buy from Trials-UK!!!+1The Because frames look very nice and I think personally they would be a good little starter bike But don't get a DOB, Koxx or a monty, if your a beginner as you'll more then likely snap it.Edit:With the brakes, its personal preference. Most street riders use dual HS33's Where as most natural riders have dual disk or front disk rear HS33 Edited July 28, 2009 by Dale-Hill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
