Chris Elson Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 Might of seen my topic about the hayes nine, because i haven't got the money at the moment to bleed it , i am now running a maggie with koxx browns. Might have it for a while, i find a front maggie is sooo much better then my hayes my hayes weren't good. J-KAY will tell you. Just wondering who else uses one on the front and what you think.Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5.0 Rider Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 Maggies on front are good, because you have no flex with it like with a discbrake. but the disc is good in all weather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lawrence osborn Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 I'm going back to maggie because i don't like my disk as im scared of bending it with my sidehops, but as said before disks should work in all wether Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Elson Posted November 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 Nothing wrong with a maggie, put a cnc'd lever on the front , and some cnc'd mounts , good pads , and a nice grind. Got a very good front brake, which would look very nice with all the cnc'd parts. Should be ok in the rain too depending on grind and pads.

Joe Sweeney Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 I find front maggies fine as long as you have good brake pads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Beckett Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 i love my magura with zoo!pads on the front, they work so well in the dry, i haven't ever had a disc brake on the front, i want to get one cus they work in the wet. i have just a disc rotor on the front cus i feel cool with it on their.lol, i haven't ever smacked it though and my front wheel has come short on a few sidehops.

Ash-Kennard Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 ive been forced to revert back to a maggie as the forks i am using only have 4bolt mounts, i tell you now disc is 1000000times better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 ive been forced to revert back to a maggie as the forks i am using only have 4bolt mounts, i tell you now disc is 1000000times betterill 2nd that it does matter how good you set the maggy up it is never going to be as good as disc brake, especially a BB7 or a mono trial.
