jamiequin Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 get an avid cable n u cant go wrong (Y) :D ← I just used my amazing bargain finding skills and for 100 pound i found you a set (front and rear) hydraulic discs. Not the best but you did not state what quality. :o :D http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/PROMAX-HYDRAULIC-DIS...1QQcmdZViewItem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basher Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 i,ve asked around as im after a disk and most sed go for the avid cable its suppost to be mint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 Avid BB7 is suposed to be the best for it's price. But i'v found that mine didn't really have amazing bite and has got worse since i have been using it. The hold is great though, more than enough.

TomN Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 Avids are quite good, had a go on one and they lock very nicely, others which are good are Hope mini easily find one cheap on here or on ebay and other hope disc brakes if you can find they cheap. Hayes are good i heard aswell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaRtZ Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 Hayes are good i heard aswell. ← My XC kona has a pair. Very ace except they heat up quite a bit when in use for quite a long time. I guess in trials thats rarely the case IMO I dont think that the lever is ergonomically designed for trials (its almost a right angle) and although provides plenty of leverage, its really *asking* you to use 2/3 fingers (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Si-man Posted September 3, 2005 Report Share Posted September 3, 2005 Avid are poo compared to hope trial an ive had ago of both before you all start windging. This is on a mod btw :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_P Posted September 3, 2005 Report Share Posted September 3, 2005 Avid are poo compared to hope trial an ive had ago of both before you all start windging. This is on a mod btw :huh: ← Yeah and there also less than half the price :P Get an avid mate, even though it's cable there amazing for the dosh. Easy to set up etc and work amazingly, great hold and the bite is fair good too!! Get a BB7, normal cable and an XTR lever and it'll work like the dogs dangles!

Siders77 Posted September 3, 2005 Report Share Posted September 3, 2005 Don't listen to Rob. :P Get an Avid Juicy 7. THE shit! :huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trials Dave Posted September 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2005 i like the idea of having a hydraulic probably because i have a cable disk already. i will have a look at the avid juicy, magura julie etc. thanks :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilky_mod_legend2 Posted September 3, 2005 Report Share Posted September 3, 2005 magura juile locks on nicely, i have been on bikes with both hope mono trials and mono mini and i would say better than them both, and only half the price of others!! the new koxx disk is spongey!! dont go for that and £140!!!

nmt_oli Posted September 3, 2005 Report Share Posted September 3, 2005 ive got an amazing budget option that so far is working real well and has yet to finish bedding in! only cost me £70 in total. Chain reaction sell a Deore hydro brake, REAR but with RIGHT hand lever, 160mm. i then shortened the cable and moutned the caliper on the front with a coulpe of shims and a 185mm hope mini disk! :P (this works as the same caliper is 20mm disk size different on front and back, the extra 5 is taken up by a 2.5mm shim.) The deore brake was £50 and the rotor was £20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
