Miles Mallinson Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 BB5 or 7 front with 180mm rotor and any V-Brake on the back with any Avid lever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam T Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 Magura's! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Gibbs Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 To be honest buddy trial and error is the way you'll find what works for you. As what works for 1 rider wont nessicerily work for another. Alot of riders like hope brakes up front where as i hate hope discs just personal preferance.

Aidan97 Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 from my experience i cant see how any other brake can be better than Magura's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BradJohnson Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 (edited) magura's are unbelieveable and there cheap i payed £60 for the 2011 hs11 with clam clamps and evo2 adaptor. get the 2011 hs11/hs33 with tnn pads and a booster if needed it will be the best brake you have used i swear.

SamKidney Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 05 Magura Hs33, 4 finger lever water bleed TNN clamp and booster system TNN Lgms. HARSH grind! Win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Dunstan Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 V brakes are more powerful, I used some with Phat pads and they were unbelievable. BB7 up front. Just because a brake is hydraulic doesn't mean it is the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isitafox Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 There are far too many variables to be able to define what the best brakes are, it's just what works for each person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
