Martin Reynolds Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 Ive got a hope tech trial front disc brake, and was thinking of going over to Rockman superlight disc. What's your opinion of the Rockman disc? Have any of you used it, and does it give better braking performance over the standard hope disc?

Laurence--Trials Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 I snapped one after two months of use. I wouldn't go my me though alot of people use them especially the top world riders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6ft-midget Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 Just out of curiosity what's wrong with your current rotor? I've ridden a mod with 160 Hope Techs and I couldn't feel anything 'lacking' rotor-wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalopS Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 (edited) Ive got a Rockman on the rear and a Hope on the front. The lever feel on the front feels much better. The Rockmans got a lot of bends in now. Think Ill be getting another Hope on the rear. Seem stronger.

Martin Reynolds Posted December 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 6ft-midget - don't get me wrong, its an incredible brake, especially considering it only cost me £100 new. The only thing is i've had a few times, like when your trying to stop on your front wheel, where it hasn't provided enough braking force. You know, the whole point of asking is to see what you think, and if you've had experience of the rotor being s***, then i wont consider buying one Do you prefer any rotor over the stock hope mono one?

Alex Dark Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 Rockman only use a generic rebranded XC rotor, as made by alligator and ashima so i dont think it would be fair to call it a fake? They work pretty well, but to be honest I wouldnt have said they're any better, the mono trial rotors are certainly good enough I'll have a look at your brake tomorrow martin and see if i can do anything with it.
