Nuke Bowel Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 I have noticed allot of people use magura hs33's and some use disc brakes, what do you advise I use? also why is it some people put a hs33 on the back and a disc on the front, surely the disc is more powerful and it would be better on the rear? Cheers, Luke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Greenthumb Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 disc on the front, hs33 on the rear. although i know someone who ran a rear disc on a mod, he designed and made an adapter especially for his bike (python) and he claims it works really well. doubt it would be to go on a stock though.

Clarky Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 The disks may get knocked and bashed on the rear thats why not many people use them,for the front it gives more moudlation than a magura.Clarky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, LukeDiscs tend to offer more modulation whereas hs33s tend to be more grabby. Most people prefer grabby on the rear and modulation on the front. An hs33 with the right setup can give you lovely modulation so theres no reason to feel you have to go disc on the front.I think rear discs put a lot of extra stress on the frame compared to rim brakes - this'd be more of a problem in trials than in downhill etc cos the wheel stays locked and under pressure rather than locked and skidding.There do seem to be a fair number of trials specific disc frames out now though so presumably they're getting around the snappysnappy problem (putting the brake mount on the dropout a-la V-racing XTP seems a sound plan) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaffacakes Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 I run a maggy on the back because I don't have disk mounts, It's cheaper, Can't get smashed up as easily, can bled and repaired easily, If it gets contaminated it's not such a big deal, and also the sound of it just reminds me that I have a working break. I think if I had a silent rear break it would make me a bit sketchy.I run a disk on the front because of the hold, modulation, the feel of it and you don't look like such a t**t when your flying down the hill with a deadly sound that makes your ears bleed EEEEERRRRRRR!!!!!It's personal preference though, but remember a disk will probably cost more and last less as long as a maggy.

oleg859 Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 definatly a maggie on the rear, feals much more secure. disc on the fron for more modulation. avid cable disc's work amazingly on the front once bedded in and they r cheeper than hope ect.olly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cvtrial Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 I agree if someone says: A GOOD disc in front (Hope MONO, Magura Louise etc) and Magura HS33 with a good grind! Good evening peeps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

human_furball Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 I prefer rim brakes to disk breaks as I would not want to miss a wall and hit the disk on it as it might break.Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
echoteam!! Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 is personal prefrence really. i run rear maggie and front hope trial i think its great , but i've seen benito roos at comps use front and rear maggie. Is just what you feel more compfortable with. But i think you cant beat a good rear maggie and a good disk on the front.dave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T_PRO Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 I run a disc up front and HS33s at the rear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
echoteam!! Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 (edited) depends aswell if your are a street rider like CLS/damion watson when your are sidehoping 50"plus to two wheels you would sometimes come down on your disk and would cost more money replacing disks ect.dave.
