huge Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 The standard plastic levers are a bit flexy but overall the brake is good for the money (on the front wheel). I attached mine to my old front hs33 lever and bled with thin mineral oil. This gave me a pretty decent brake with loads of hold and good feel plus I had an adjustable bite point because of the hs33s TPA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ted Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 If you are thinking of buying one new then it's worth looking at the avid ball bearing 7 first. It's around the same price but has better performance in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orgun_Donor Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 I have a julie on the front of mine at the moment, not as much bite as a hope, but the hold is just as good. I found the build of the julie to be far supriour to the Mono Trial, which flexes like mad, at both the caliper and the lever, where as even after several months, my julie is fer stiffer, infact wh i got it, it was far to stiff, and it started to hurt my finger.Julie = Hope = Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishy Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 Definately look at one, they are amazing brakes for the price, other than Julies, look at avid bb7's. They are pretty good for money, and are sooooo powerful set up properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
