Jaffacakes Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 (edited) I have a hope mono disk and it feels georgious, the best front break I have ever rode. Except it is very temprementive because its contaminated. I have never rode a Juicy 5 or 7 though.

Ali Courtney Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 Ive owned a 160mm Mono Trial and a 203mm Juicy 7 . The Mono Trial was a good, powerful brake for the small rootr size but mine was troubled by sticky pistons, it is now at Hope to be fixed. Currently I am riding a 203mm Juicy, that I bought to replace my Mono Trial. The lever position and pad contact adjustment are great features to the powerful brake it has one major drawback. Aas a safety feature all Juicy levers click outwards in a event of a crash - yet this is extremly annoying. Every time you go for a bigger sidehop/tap or any big effort move the lever clicks out mid move to a position that your finger cant reach. The lever then has to be clicked in again before it can begin breaking. CheersAli C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ash-Kennard Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 alex, don't buy the control just yet. at least wait until you can have a go on simons limey? if you go to pompey on saturday he will be there too so have a go then, i wouldn't want you wasting your money on something if you haven't even tried the limey. trust me they are well worth trying. don't order it till you have had a go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All hopes have that (well something similar) but they are integrated and hiden inside the lever blade so they don't get damaged, and it makes it extremely hard to tern with a set of alen keys because you can't get in there properly. £40 is a bargain though. Was it brand new? Edited February 14, 2006 by Jaffacakes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I diddn't no that the new leavers had it at all, thought they just adusted themselvs. Edited February 15, 2006 by Metal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
