Laurence--Trials Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 Whats that front brake and whats it like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SumoSam Posted October 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 (edited) Whats that front brake and whats it like? Its a standard Onza mechanical disc with Shimano Deore lever and Wilko special brake cable (on a 180mm wavy disc off the Effect) I personally think its a great brake, lots of bite and progression. Love the ease of maintenance, especially after the number of issues I've had with a Magura Louise.

Laurence--Trials Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 (edited) What problems did you have with your magura im probably going to buy one..... Edited October 30, 2011 by Laurence--Trials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SumoSam Posted October 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 (edited) What problems did you have with your magura im probably going to buy one..... Well, mine was old and second hand. Its fixable, I just can't be bothered really... It was gunged up when I took it apart and I think a seal somewhere has gone. Newer ones are probably fine Edited October 30, 2011 by SumoSam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanczik Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 looks great in silver i remember you thought about brown or purple or blue color Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SumoSam Posted November 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 looks great in silver i remember you thought about brown or purple or blue color Thanks Yeah, wanted to go raw in the end but it had loads of little marks from building I suppose, so went for silver/grey instead. Did think about others but had an orange echo headset so silver went best, almost like the echo full builds... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
