cookie456_the2nd Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 Bday in about 2 weeks, hopefully going to get a new front wheel and brake. Front wheel will prob be a hope xc but not sure what front rim? Whats strong but not to heavy? For the brake, front disc, whats good, whats bad? Never really used any front discs, needs to be quite powerfull and light. If anyones got any second hand stuff for sale then let me know! Cheers Guys :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Pearson Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 Some form of Mavic disc rim I usually find works really nice, and I have to say an avid with XTR lever. They just run beautifully. Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poopipe Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 ive got a louise FR disc - it feels much nicer than the old louise so dont let the name put you off - i believe they cost less than the hope brake but don't quote me ive also got a drilled sidewall hog rim which seems fine - its a mod one so i dont know about the stock version but its dead sexy with its little hedgehog cutouts and holes in the sidewall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialsriderjim Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 I have hayes hfx 9 xc carbon brake with aztec 180 mm roter i love it to bits works very good never slips or over heats i have the onza hog rim aswell very good stong rim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JIX Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 It would have to be a Hope mono trial 180 for the brake. Wheel wise, you wont go wrong with a good hope xc hub. Rim wise I would go for a mavic d521. You will be hard pushed to find a stronger rim and at 520g its light enough. But because its a mavic, you can drill the shit out of it to make it look custom and cool :rolleyes: and save a bit of rotational weight. (Not much but hey).

I think my back rim is a hog lol (drilled and eyeletted) but fek me its strong! Should all go nicely with my levelboss. If ive got the money im deffo going to get the hope trial brake, ive got driving lessons and car stuff to sort out as well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 my perfect set up is a mavic 321 rim (wide, light(ish) and SUPER strong) and the disk would be a magura marta 180 with shimano xt lever I HATE hope brakes with a passion, actually, I hate most of their parts too. :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

011001000110010101110010 Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 Hope Mini, the original ones. I have had mine for 3 years and cant fault it. Replaced the pads 3 times. Bled it once. I know a couple of other people that have not had a single problem with the brake. Also it will cost less because if will need to be second hand. As for the rim, I'd probably go for a Mavic either a D521 or an X217. Depending on how much of a weight weenie you want to be :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Has anyone seen my shoe? Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 The hog drilled rim looks the sex. Possibly an avid, not sure which one though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave33 Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 has to be a front marta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Manning Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 im running a viz hub and viz rim, light, but hubs awkward for building onto, cos the flanges are to completly different sizes. for the disc i got a magura marta sl this week and within an hour i was amazed at its performance, i also hate hope disc, ive had 2 mono trials and a mono mini all brand new and all were appauling, ive also had a hayes hfx 9, didnt do anything really. the marta isn't the cheapest (£184.99 trials shop) but i reckon its the best for modulation and bite and reliability.

Tom Booth Posted October 1, 2005 Report Share Posted October 1, 2005 (edited) i recently bought a hope xc on a mavic 321, with an avid bb7 and avid speed dial 5 lever, from crc came within a week and came to just about 100 quid. Cant go wrong, its the best brake ever and the wheel is a really nice ride, smooth, wide enough to get good profile on a 2.1 and is very light. Great stuff Tom Edited October 1, 2005 by Tom Booth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swize Posted October 1, 2005 Report Share Posted October 1, 2005 Hope xc on a onza ronnie with black spokes and an avid disc !!! Awsome setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
