Dual Hydraulic Disk Brakes On A 26"

[raiden]

Hello, I have a bike called yaabaa 1299 or whatever, it says 799 on the frame though. So anyway it came with mechanic disk brakes, which just dont grab enaugh for me and im still a begginer. I do have a Fuji tahoe-pro with hydro disks, shimano, i dont remember which model because i dont have the bike at my location right now, but i would like to put the brakes on my yaabaa. Because i didnt see anyone with a hydro disk on any trial bike, im wondering if there are any problems with it? Do the air bubbles go somewhere when you jump or something?

Ty for your response.

Loads of people use hydraulic discs on there bike, Hope even make a trials specific disc brake for the job.

The only thing to recommend if you deiced to swap over is make sure you're running at least a 180mm rotor on a 26" as 160mm just won't have enough power and hold to do the job though I couldn't comment on whether your particular Shimano brakes will be suitable for trials, you may be better off with actual Hope Mono Trials brakes but see how you go on.

I have try-all disks and calipers, everything else too hehe.

Hmmmm.. I didnt know people use dual disks on trials really, in my country there are like 5 people riding i guess so i cant see anyone with a trial bike, but on the web i mostly see guys with disk front and rim brake on the back. Well, ill just upgrade then, ty for the response and good luck.
