Fishy Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 Magura Julie? Shimano Deore/ etc? Maybe go for a cable... Avid bb7?>>Clicky<< They will have most the shiz you want, except they don't have any Avid bb7s in at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 does it need to be a hydro? An avid cable is just about the most powerful disk out there, is far more adjustable and wont leak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornishpasty Posted October 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 no doesnt have to be a hydrolic! thanks for the imfo guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialsalot Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 im running an avid juicy 7 carbon 203 with fibrax semi-metallic pads and its the shiz.ali is right though,if you aint got a 200mm mono trial thats been tweaked a bit then the bb7 is spleen burstingly powerful and cheap to boot!not only are they cheap but avids fitting system make boshing them on rediculously easy,that'll be my next choice if i dont have any luck with mine.hope it helpscraig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt rushton Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 I've got a hope mono mini 180 (not the trial one) and it works well much better than the trials brake get one of them just not the trial one,Matt Rushton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bionicman Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 Dont use hydro disc brakes every one i have had they always rub and are a pain to set upgo o0ut and buy the avid bb7 i use this now and it works the sex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickyw Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 Hydro's dont rub? Disc brake's only rub if there set up in-correctly or the rotor's bent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
