rickyb Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 IMO the aid mechanical disk is by far the best, easy to set up easy to ajust the feel and work like a beast, what more do you want?rickyb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alastair Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 (edited) Well if you want quality the go for the Hope Mono Trials disc, thats around £137 for 180mm and the 160mm is £127 im not quite sure, but the problem with these discs are that they are great to start off with, but then gradually loose there power and need re-bleeding, or new pads put in, which can be a fiddle.Hope Mono 180mmBut i personally prefer the Avid disc brake, its much cheaper than the Mono, is a cable brake so you never need to worry about bleeding, also i think they look alot better Avid Mechanical Discthe only problem is that you need to buy a cable and a lever, and depending on the quality you want, it can be costlyHope this helps Al Edited March 27, 2006 by Alastair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louth trials 2006 Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 if you have the money i'd go for the hope try-all disc brake which looks mint but if your looking for a budget disc brake go for the avid i had one and loved it.tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavyn. Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 avid juicy five the nicest brake i ever felt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luccosleeps Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 (edited) surprising enough the shimano deore hydro disk feels very close to sex when setup right, a work college of mine has one on his xc bike and the braking power is absolutely amazing and for the price you can't go wrong. shimano deore disk £49!!!! half price am so tempted to get one, just means i gotta get a new wheel too, dammnit lol Edited March 28, 2006 by luccosleeps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilky_mod_legend2 Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 Good cheap magura juile Works excellent, no problems yet, and for £60 thats an amazing price.also heard lots of good things about AVID BB7 - CheersWilky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigman Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 Best value for money has to be the Avid BB7, i had a hope mono trial 180mm for 8 months ish and then changed back to the avid as i found the hope to be very tempermental and just never seemed to work perfectly all the time.......Avids are truely awsome, i have been running a 203mm for the past 3 months and it is awsome, sooo powerful yet realy controlable. Also they are much more adjustable than the hopes, you can make an avid feel exactly how YOU want!!!Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

basher Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 avid mechanical bb7 its so easy to set up and you only need to replace the cable not bleed it. its also half the priceof a hope, and they feel well nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Gardner Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 Hope Mono are very reliable but do cost alot of money, i would go for a Magura Louise if i wanted one, but my hs33 works amazing as it is( tar on smooth rim with heatsink reds cnc).
