smurftrial Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 How about a whole new bike!!!!Why? ihear you because i have a mission!!! ..........smurfy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewannnn Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 Well personally i would get a front disc brake because it cost less in the long run and because having a drilled rim wont make that much of a difference in my opinion. What Disc brake are you planning on getting anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trials Boy Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 NOO Keith. Before the disc, new cranks and get it single speed! Please! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan6061 Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 "It aint broke, don't fix it" Or, get a drill, and drill your rims. HS33's on the front are the way forward! You don't have to worry about bending rotors! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smurftrial Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 Sorry but I misunderstood your post in my first post!! Id get some drilled ris because of the fact that you have fully functional HS33 and getting drilled rims will make your bike lok abit snazzier. Might make it lighter too..............smurfy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't have to worry about bending rotors!now come on you cant say a maggie up front are the way foward, they dont offer as much power as a decent disk brake you constantly have to keep buying 2 sets of pads for both front and rer and also in the wet say in a comp a disk it always going to be better as rim brakes turn to poo.I think you should stick with your magura thoough and spend a little on your drivetrain.Clarky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
