TRD Posted August 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 im most likely getting a zoo lynx dual hopes now, thanks for the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modifiedridah2k9 Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 im most likely getting a zoo lynx dual hopes now, thanks for the help Dont, i heard not too great things about double disks. And they are a pain, contaminate them = an extra £150 for new one. Maggys are brilliant. Heatsink yellows maggy water bled, with bb7 up front is one of the best brake set ups you get, and you save ALOT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heatsink yellows maggy water bled, with bb7 up front is one of the best brake set ups you get, and you save ALOT. double disks are fine, but be carefull not to land on them!! they only get contaminated if you are a bellend and dont take the pads and wheel out when you bleed them! double disks have good hold, but rear maggie has better bite on rear, and still has a great hold. i would go for rear maggie, with either a hope or bb7 disk on the front end of the day its personal preferance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never bled one and I for one am not a bellend Yeah just with all the bad rumors about hopes, if i was you i would play it safe and go BB7 front and Magura HS33 rear.

TRD Posted August 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 a lot of people say not to ge them if you sidehop to the left, or if you arent a smooth rider and will bash the rotor, i used to be a not so smooth rider, bu im getting to be more and more smooth, plus i sidehop to the right but honestly, ive heard that hopes can go as long as 2 years w/o a bleed, and dont have to change th pads for a while either, and i hate grinding my wheels! i hate it! ill probly go with the hopes still Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ogre Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 hopes are good, it's hard to kill rotors, people bitch about products they can't/don't have i really liked dual disc, i used bb7s but i'd imagine hopes would be even better. be carefull with the rotors/pads, they can be a bit sensitive to contamination, but if you put rotors in the dishwasher on their own with no salt, and burn the pads, you can usually fix it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispyboy Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 Maguras all the way Hopes are just trouble unless your super smooth and never scratch your bike And you have alot more options with magura disc your stuck with only changing the rotors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 You generally don't need to do more than that to them though. I have no idea how you used to have so many problems with your's - no-one else I know using them had to change pads/stuff as often as you! For the most part they're absolutely fine, which is why almost everyone with a DD mod uses them. Regarding the "And they are a pain, contaminate them = an extra £150 for new one." quote - I don't really understand how. Every single part of a Hope from the circlip that holds the dust cover on your piston to the entire caliper itself is available as a spare, so if you break any part of a Hope at all you can replace it without needing to buy an entirely new brake. If you contaminate it you may need to buy a new rotor and pads, but that's about it. Not "an extra £150 for a new one". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
