Joe O'Connor Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 (edited) Hey guys, I'm trying to decide what front brake I should get for my 24" Echo Urban when I get it. Most likely will be getting it from tarty and I cant decide between Hope Mono Trial or Try-All Disk. Mainly because I dont know about either of them! What is the difference between the two and what would be the best for me? I will be doing trials (Obviously) and BMX type stuff (Skate Park etc), basically what the 24" is designed for! XD Also, is the listing on tarty for the two a set of brakes or just one? Thanks for the help! Joe Edit- Does the Echo Urban need a 27.2mm Seatpost? And it will have an Echo Rear Hydraulic Rim brake, do I need to get a Brake Booster? Ta Edited July 15, 2010 by Joe O'Connor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 Isn't the try-all just a rebranded hope mono trial? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aener Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 Order from Chain Reaction and get a BB7. Quite a lot cheaper, and I find them much nicer to use and easier to set up. If you do - note that it doesn't come with a cable or lever. Wilko's cable for £1, and I'd suggest an SD7 lever. Brilliant brake that'll cost you ~£65/70.

Greetings Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 The Try-All is a Hope brake. I'd get a Hope if you want to spec your bike up or a BB5 if you're just looking for reliable and powerful braking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This, but i'd go with a linear slic instead of the wilko's cable if your going to be doing bmx riding (spins etc). The mono trial and try all are the same aside from the lever design/shape and colour scheme. Try-all comes with a try-all design rotor instead of the standard one. Listed price is for each single brake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont really like it that much. I much prefer the feel of a Hope! Ive got a BB5 that I could use, but I want to get a real good brake that I can really rely on. Listed price is for each single brake. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobinJI Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 Got a BB7 and its shite. deffo mono trial mate You're doing it wrong then. Some are better than others, but I'm yet to find a properly set up BB7 that could ever be described as 'shite.' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
