domonza Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 Hi, im gonna change to front disc quite soon but im not sure what to get, i was thinking of getting a hope mono trial 180 , but a lot of people have told me to go for an avid bb5 or bb7, can anybody give some advice on which one has the better performance and the pros and cons of each one.Thanks DOM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMunn Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 Both very good brakes, I ride a mono trial brake with 200mm rotor and its awesome. I prefer these over the bb7 because i'm yet to find a brake lever to have the kind of feel like the hope. Can't really go wrong with either though.

JoNnY__Mc Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 I'm very much liking my avid bb7 with 185mm rotor and speed dial lever, very good brake, anything set up right will do the job though Unfortunately my opinion is abit one sided as i have yet to feel a hope that impressed me (this being down to everyone i've tryed having bad bleeds.) worth trying a few out?

Egg Fried Rice Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 i brought a hope mono trial 07 the other day, although i havent tried it yet, i think its a very nice brake. it already feels nice with stiffness etcJK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogre Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 got a cheapy tectro mechanical disk brake that was liberated from my mtb which i'm running with low end shimano(?) levers and it's got more hold than my magura had + you get a brake that can slow you down without covering you in pad dust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ted Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 Don't get the BB5. It's no way near as good as the BB7. As for which one to choose out of the BB7 and the hope, i'd go for the avid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bessell Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 I have had the old hope trials (loved it till i killed it) had a bb7 thought it was wank (couldn get use to it had no modulation) Just got a new hope mono trial 180 i would say is the best disk i have ever had fooking mint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reinold Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 I would have to say get the 07 monotrial, i have had mine for about a month and i haven't had any problems with it, by far the best disk brake i have had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
