richardmid1 Posted June 13, 2020 Report Share Posted June 13, 2020 Do discs have the same power as hydraulic rim brakes on a 20" mod? I want to do away with having to grind/tar the rims and I like how silent discs are, just makes the ride look smoother and doesn't annoy anyone but I don't want to end up on my arse all the time!

Rebelistic Posted June 14, 2020 Report Share Posted June 14, 2020 When I went from a 26" bike with rim brakes to a dual disc 20" I found it to be a significant improvement. I never got on that well with rim brakes though. I went for the Hope tech 3 trial and they've been pretty awesome. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richardmid1 Posted June 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2020 Thanks. I'm looking at something like the Shimano M6000, SLX or XT. I love the hope stuff but it's much more pricey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
