williams Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 I Guess there's like a shitload of other topics like this, but I can't really find any ansver... So I am a little tempted to go back to dual disc again. I've more and more started to ride in the woods, and my plastic un-square HS yellows did suck after getting some mud onto the rim, I don't know if TNN lgm pads would do the trick. And it's getting dryer now in the woods. But I'm also pretty tired of my magura, since I've had SOOOOO much problems with them. I don't know if it's supposed to be like: Set up the pads, ride, and then after some weeks grind the rim. But mine hasn't been like that. I also have a small issue, When I set up both pads good, and then start to ride, one piston pushes out, so one side is barly moving and is sitting like 0.2mm from the rim, and the other one is like really far from the rim... But anyway, I ride a MOD and are thinking of getting a disc to the rear, do you think I should do it? I ride pretty much in the city, and on a trial park. Or should I stay with magura? (Already have a pair of 2011 magura hs33) I need some help here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamKidney Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 Ive been pondering this very thought for too long. I love natty, and the appeal of dual disc there is soooo high. I also love street (tgs) too, however the likely hood of me twating the rear disc seems like it would be a constant occurance. (I do everything to the left). But thats not to say you would. Im not as smooth or precise as I like to think I am. For what your after they would be perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bella Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 if you gap or sidehop to the left i would suggest stay with the hs33 and if you dont then a disk would be nice however the question is why dont you like the hs33 not why do you want a disk if you have no problems then its not worth it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williams Posted May 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 Thanks guys for you help. I have many issues with my magura... Especially the problem I described earlier in the topic. Should a good set up magura be pretty much fit and ride? If that's the case, I suck... And I side hop to the left, but I can't decide... Is it woth it? ANd what disc brake shoudl i buy then?

Azarathal Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 I had dual disc on a tgs bike and it was fine, didn't hit the disc once, in fact I hit the front a couple of times. I don't really fail my side hops though so my chain stays were always spotless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williams Posted May 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 Thanks for the help guys really appreciate it! Think Im going to stay with maguras for a while. I need help with a BB rise question, In what way does high/low BB change the way a bike feel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azarathal Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 Higher bb = better rear wheel controll Lower bb = more stable on two wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BradJohnson Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 Duel disc was the best thing i did, i run duel echo tr. But also i've used a 2012 shaimano deore on the rear, so cheap yet so powerful! Also, i side hop to the left, never caught my disc yet, if it feels wrong just stick a foot out, Simples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siontyrex Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 you should go for the hope diskbrake altough they are not cheap they are very powerfull and almost maintainance free. you could also get a disk protector i think tarty has these Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
