Ben John-Hynes Posted October 3, 2009 Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 By brake pads I assume you mean rim brakes? Are you talking about for the front or the back? Most riders use a Magura on the rear and either a disk/magura/vee on the front. It's all down to personal preference though, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Moss Posted October 3, 2009 Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 If you get good discs then they will be better and have better hold but they can snap i prefer magura rim brakes because they have good hold if you have the right setup and good pads with a tiny bit of tar on the rim, they are also cheaper than most discs.
