Juicy Sevens, Or Hope Trials

Recommended Posts

hi i'm looking at getting a front disc for when i get a new frame.

but i'm a bit stuck on what to get.

should i get: a Juicy five/seven or a hope trials disc.

i saw the juicy seven on a fully built bike in a bike shop and the brake felt beautiful. but i'm not sure wether to get one for trials or not.

thanks for your help.

Alex

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. (N)

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

Iv fallen in love with my hope C2. Its the TPA on ta leaver that i like, lets me make the brake feel how i like it and...... it was only £40 off ebay. :P

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?
