clerictgm Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 I want to buy highriser bars(trialtech or inspired), but don't know why there's an opinion that they are SOOO COOL. And also I can't choose brakes set for my marino. I want full disc, but heared that rear disc sucks. And what about BB5/BB7? Is it bad brakes (I want to do some stoppies and stuff, so I need good modulation). Also why no one uses Avid Elixir/Juicy in trials? They're bad? Realy can't choose.

isitafox Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 Rear discs are awesome on 24 just not cable, if you can afford it get a saint on there. If not a hope tech will do the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ooo Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 Im not sure that people think the highrise bars are cool, but a lot of streety people prefer the higher bar setup. The trialtechs are slightly higher and have 1deg more upsweep and backsweep. Ive heard that the bars on the skye are the same geo as the trialtech highrise. If you want higher its worth trying. I have a similar stem and amount of stackers on my fourplay as you, and i run trialtech highrises, I love it but some say its too high. bb7s are good for front brake, but people say rear cable disc has too much resistance.? Also i think the stock inspired come with elixers or some kind of avid brake. So they can obviously be put to some use, how much I don't know. My experience of avid parts has only been bad, so I won't comment as it will be biased. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Nichols Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 Dual disc is awesome, I've never run cable discs though. If you're after some cheapish hope tech brakes and don't mind a bit of bleeding then I might be able to strike a deal with you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamKidney Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 I could see Trialtech highrise bars suiting that well, in terms of looks and how it rides. Im a fan of the Hopes, both the mono trial and tech trial. Shimano Deores are brilliant too! BB7s are lethaly powerfull I found. Maybe a 160mm rotor and a BB7 might give some more modulation over a 180 rotor. My favorite has been the Shimano Saint. They seem brilliant for everything it seems. Ive had a go on a bike with the Avid Elixir R. It worked well up front, but he has constant problems. He's bought saints now.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showurcolours Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 I bought some TT highrisers (in white, cus they definitely look the coolest) and can say that they are awesome, especially if you're slightly taller like me - they really suit 24's as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 I ran dual BB7's and whilst the front was unbelievable the rear was terrible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 Is that a ladder in your bedroom? Where does it lead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD™ Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 I've got a couple of Hope Monos for sale as a complete bargain if you just wanted to try it out - if you don't like it then you'll be able to sell them for the same money again probably.

williams Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 Some highrise bars like Trialtech or Inspired bars would be good. And regarding brakes, get saints I promise its deffo worth it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bing Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 I'm running an echo tr front, and 2012 shimano deore on the rear, with 180 rotors, on a mod. they are brutal. it's epic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete.M Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 I want to buy highriser bars(trialtech or inspired), but don't know why there's an opinion that they are SOOO COOL. There does seem to be a lot people who rate them highly, but the trialtechs feel odd to me. I'd love to try out some Deity bars since they have less up-sweep.

Rockman Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 The Hope Trial Zone brakes are awesome! Mine don't budge at all on anything, well worth the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clerictgm Posted November 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 (edited) The Hope Trial Zone brakes are awesome! Mine don't budge at all on anything, well worth the money. Any difference between them and mono trials with tech lever? And why Shimano Saints better than Hope?

TrialsIsHard Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 I've got an Avid Elixr R that I used on the front of my Inspired for a bit, they really aren't bad when you get them set up properly Admittedly I moved to a Hope Mono soon after this!

Rockman Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 Any difference between them and mono trials with tech lever? And why Shimano Saints better than Hope? They are slightly lighter, personally I prefer the Trial Zone lever as the blade is more comfy than the Tech Trial lever. Also if you get the post mount caliper it is super easy to set up.

clerictgm Posted November 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 What rotors would be better for Hope on 24? 180 would be enough or 200? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalRobbo341 Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 108 should be enough, but if you feel you need extra power, 200 should do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 180 will be more than powerful enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clerictgm Posted November 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 (edited) Oh man.. all offers of Hope are with 160mm rotors. It's really bad and not enough for 24, yeah? Edited November 25, 2012 by clerictgm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bing Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 so get a 180 mm rotor and the right adapter. it's that easy and cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogre Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 Controversy attack. Bb7 on the rear is ace. I ran a 185 on my 24. Had no issues with the performance and I weighed over 15stone when I was running it. Bb7s are better than other discs in my experience. Cheap to run and less sensitive/delicate that hydraulics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
