Azarathal Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 BB7, they're rediculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laurence--Trials Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 I've heard a pretty nice (trials) review on the magura mt2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ULtrialsguy Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 Pretty sure the mt2 is a decent enough brake. Not a huge amount of adjust-ability but works pretty decent, was going to get one meself but ended up forking out the extra cash for an echo tr.

skunky_bifta Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 My friend has the Magura mt2's and he cant recommend them enough, out the box (and probably still to this date) are more powerful than my Hope tech trials, I on the other hand tried and now have a BB7 and like Mikey said their rediculously good, and in my mind alot simpler to fix and not as much can go wrong.

williams Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 (edited) I've made a review of the magrua mt2, the brake is sick and is FAAAAR better than any hope brake I've tried. I have a mechanical disc brake on front which is really similar to the bb7, I'd say get the magura mt2 180 or 203 mm:) Edited September 10, 2012 by williams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xTrials_Rider Posted September 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 thanks guys, i have ordered the mt2 203mm, along with a few other things which all cost me just under 500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
