Thanks Yes Mono Trials are stupidly good brakes, I used to run two 160mm rotors on my old Onza Limey stock, it felt just like a big mod and i found I had control and power no probs, I still run one (still 160mm) on my Inspired 24" and have no problems; personally I prefer them to any rim brake, untill I bend rotors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weirdoku Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 (edited) I had a mono mini once, never worked great for me. Just my experience with them though. Edited October 16, 2011 by weirdoku Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe they are the same, just the rotor is different; I could be wrong though. Generally all Hope brake systems are good anyway, i found the 6-pots my mate used to run on his down hill bike were excellent, and the same when i had a play with Tech's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 I could be wrong though. You are. The Mono Trial and the Mono Mini/Mono M4 etc run totally different calipers/piston ratios. Whilst a Mono Mini will be good enough for XC/general bike use, they don't really have the necessary bite/hold for trials use. Going from a Magura rim brake to a disc will be a bit odd at the best of times, but to go from a decent rim brake to a sub-par disc (for the job, at least) would be a killer.

Hmmmmm, avid arch rival v's with sd levers may be the way ahead then? Anyone reccomend any v pads? Hopes may end up on the freeride bike then!
