RossMcd Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 (edited) Best setup i ever owned was an 04 maggy with koxx greens with a light grind.. It was unbelievably bitey and locked like nothing else! With reverse mounts of course EDIT: Didnt read the topic properly Best smooth rim setup Id have to say Heatsink Snowys in CNC'd backings will be the most reliable.

I don't give a rats arse to be honest.i dont get how you can say something like a disk brakes shit, they have loads more modulation then any magura/vee and nearly as much hold.

crispyboy Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 (edited) Hey guys im just wondering whats the best front brake setup for smoothIs it just me or does everone get fed up of these stupid posts ?I recon theres about 300 posted about front brake setups for smooth rim.Just use the search or just look on tartys and pick some smooth rim pads.

Otacon Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 (edited) i dont get how you can say something like a disk brakes shit, they have loads more modulation then any magura/vee and nearly as much hold.Because like me, if you don't ride rocks, modulation is about as much use as a chocolate fireguard.Edit - As for hold, I've ridden many of bikes with a disc, not many of them hold on me. Thats from hope mono trials 200ml to 203ml bb7's. Edited September 24, 2009 by Otacon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mat Smith!! Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 A u brake wouldn't hold even if you're right over the front. Whats your point?lol its a joke, dont cry too hard, disks are fine on the front, but ive never had a good feeling/working rear disk.for the front, get pretty much any half decent vee set up and you will be fine, or a magura with soft pads: zoo, heatsink yellow, plaz, rock green etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
