Bike addict Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 I've always favoured the magura hs33. Ive never had any major problems apart from replacing olives etc.go with magura hope this helped mate, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alun Goch Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 I'd reccomend a front disk if you can afford one, they offer a lot more modulation, aswell as plenty of grip, look the dogs danglies too Alun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alastair Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 If you dont have a lot of money, go for an Avid V-brake, i have had one for nearly 2 years and its never let me down, although the power has gone down, another plus about V-Brakes are that they are cheap to run, becuase its a cable brake, you need a lever, cable, hosing and the brake itself, and there is no future phaffing around with bleeding, all you do is change the pad.If you have a little bit more money go for an avid Mechanical Disc, they are cable aswell so no need to worry about bleeding them, they are easy to set up and offer great power and modulation, aslo the rotor that comes with it looks ace.Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krissis Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 hope mono trials, better than the standard mini's but keeps the small size but better braking proformance, the only hope brake designed purely for trials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
