DC_IW Posted June 4, 2010 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 Yes, you have right. But I ment that rim brakes are much better than disk brakes In that case (edited): From my own experience, I can definitely recommend rim brakes to you because in my opinion they are stronger, they have much better sense than disc brakes and they will last longer than disc brakes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny--Trials Posted June 4, 2010 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 I like to use a set-up of front mechanical disc and rear hydrolic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jake kemsley Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 I would definatly go for hydraulic rim brakes. there look neater, work better and dont break as much. when you have a disk brake, if you are on a bench and you slip off and your disk hits it, it can brake the whole brake. also rim brakes dont slip as much.

JoeMx89 Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 All I can say to this is try both because untill you try them both you dont know what you are best suited to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamKidney Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 i think disk brakes and rim brakes have their pros and cons. I borrowed my mates GU ST double disk bike for a week and the hope mono trial brakes work great. Great modulation, feel and bite. Never slipped once, however, i had to be more aware as to where the back wheel was so as not to bend the disk. And it was reasonably heavy. My bike has magura hs33 front and rear and they work great! I use a very light grind with soft pads and tar and they are amazing, gives me a boost in confidence anyway. However i dont know much about wet performance as i tend to ride in the dry out of preference. I did once get caught out by rain when on the GU and the disks appeared to keep there power and hold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mog Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 Personally I find that If you want the lightest set-up possible and are willing to accept small variances in brake performance, choose rim brakes over disc brakes. However as stated earlier, a combination (disc on the front and rim on the back) can offer the best of both worlds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
