Tom Booth Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 Right im soon going front disc, and i am torn between the avid disc and the hope trial, but the hope trial is a bit of a push for cash. So my question is, does the avid disc have any modulation for stoppies(i love them :"> ) or is the disc just full power straight away? also aware of the fact they over heat, but im not that bothered. Ready to make a sacrafice for the price and quality. So yeah, has the disc any modulation for stoppies? Cheers Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IOLO Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 YES! stoppies for ever... but also locks... i use an avid,, if given the choice of a free avid, or a free hope tryall,, i would take the avid... unless i was clever then i would take the hope sell it on ebay, and buy an avid then keep the left overs.. lol hope that helped iolo BUY 1 !

JT! Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 (edited) Yeah, they have plenty of modulation. Not ever ridde with a hope trials one though. It's a hell of alot beter than a maggie anyway! Edited July 13, 2005 by JT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a hell of alot beter than a maggie anyway! ← thats what im using at the minute. Cheers lads. One other question, ATM im 14 stone, what size disc would you recomend? a 203mm? Or is that a bit over kill? would a 185mm do? Cheers Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuyJames Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 185mm :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 (edited) Depends if you like a light bike or not. You can always get a softer compound if your not happy with the power, so go for 185. :P BTW: If you looking for a leaver for your new avid, i have a never used Avid speed dial 7 for sale, perfect match for the avid BB 7. :) Edited July 13, 2005 by JT!

ScotchDave Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 Go for the 203 offers more modulation apparently as well as power. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guineasmithpig Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 i'm 11 stone (max.) and run a 203mm avid with an SD7 lever. plenty o modulation, locks when u need it and has ridiculous amounts of power. just make sure u have strong forks :shifty:" with avids SD levers, i don't think u can ever not have modulation ;) smithy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JIX Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 i'm 11 stone (max.) Why lie smithy why :shifty: I like my hope trial but I also like the avid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
