1337 Trials Posted November 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 You sure about the 180 as it is a mod. Also what is the feel like??? Sharp bite etc??? P.s. Thanks for your advice ~Matty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Perkins Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 Well my mate sidehops right so he doesnt catch it. He wamted the 180 for some extra power. It locks and bites really well and holds on the most weird conditions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1337 Trials Posted November 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 Hehe. Im confused what to go for. A mono trials seems best as its made specialy for trials and comes in a set rather than a bb7. How did your hope pop??? ~Matty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wright Pads Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 Comes in a set? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1337 Trials Posted November 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 Comes as one should I say. The avid bb7, you have to buy lever and cable ~Matty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wright Pads Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 Hydrolic discs will never be this and that!Avid work yeah, but i find Hope work a lot better!It's more of weight thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1337 Trials Posted November 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 Is a hope better for bigger built people??? P.s. Im Big and phat ~MattyOne thing I forgot to ask, looking at the hope mono mini and the hope mono trials they look the same apart from a silver cap on the caliper for the mono trials and gold on the hope mono mini. What is the difference??? P.s. What makes one better than the other ~matty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Dig Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 from tarty bikes: Upgraded' hydraulic piston ratios gives 54% more mechanical advantage and thus far more power than any standard disc brake featuring a similar sized rotori tihkn they're just stronger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
