Dan6061 Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 If you have disc mounts on your hub, an forks, then go for it.I used to have a front Magura on my Zona, and it didn't have the right lock and modulation, with a variation of pads.Now running a 160mm Avid BB7, and it's mint. Locks fine, and has enough modulation for rolling etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reinold Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 It really depends on what disk you are trying to get, if its a good disk then i would say trade but if it is a rubbish disk then keep your magura because for more stopping power on a magura all you need is probably a better setup, some new brake pads or maybe a bleed.

1337 Trials Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 I was going to get a avid bb7 for this x-mas but now I think I may keep the cash and just buy new , soft compound pads for my front magura , see how it goes. I was going to get a new wheel built up because I needed a new hub so I thought ide keep my wheel now for a spare. * Ile get back to you with how good it works. ~Matty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
