What's the difference? More experienced riders dont get the better brakes sent to them, they are all the same. And i have heard the bb7 is good from good riders, and i have used one. They are very good. Kieran. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anusthegreat Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 It's all about personal preferences, right. Someone uses HS-33 due to their light weight, but gives up the modulation of a disk brake. I, personally, prefer using a disk brake on the front b/c it allows to go for gap-to-fronts much easier. Also, I don't scrary people having a walk in front of me with the sound of TNN pads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to bleed them, you have to let your tyre down while taking the wheel off, and they aren't fantastic anyway. BB7 all the way, but hey it's your choice eh?

Good luck in your choice. L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Clark Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 BB7's are very powerful but I never got mine to feel solid and I didn't really like the feel. If you can get a Mono Trial second hand I would thoroughly recommend it, more powerful than a BB7 and feels beautiful. Never liked Magura's on the front at all, disc's all the way.

dann2707 Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 What about those V brakes everyone raves about, avid 7 is it? Heard nothing but good things about them. I really want to try one, at one point for the modulation.Sd7 sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've ran both, disk and maggie. Im running my maggie at the moment, water bled, echo pads and its fantastic. Great bite and really good hold. With my disk, i really liked the modulation on doing gaps to front - Where as if i wanted a dead stop, the disk could not always do it, wether i had a crappy disk/pads i dont know. I'd say try both, then decide on which on you like best. Mostly down to personal prefferance dude Sam 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
