Wright Pads Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 Has anybody looked at the trialsfutur brake, its 2 pounds more than a normal maggie and comes with booster, braided hose, water bleed and 4-bolt clamps .Adam.EDIT: just noticed you have to pay extra for braided hose and clamps,booster. So its 2 pound more for a maggie thats water bled. sorry guys.By a Magura off here or CRC for kess, bleed it you self once you have gotten the hose lengths sorted!The Echo i think will win, were in 07 now yeah and he started this in 05, i'm sure it;s been used at comps etc and is working well. maybe this could be the one greats biggest move in trials that all leaver Magura and go Echo brake. Though there is no name for this brake currently is there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam briggs-price Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 to be honest the echo will come out on top but the magura will still be good !!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom jersey Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 i personally think the maguras will be better but who knows the chos arent out yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trialsr lee Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 Hi,I see the set of brakes yesterday and i have changed my mind about them there a beauty.Trials-r-lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronnytrials Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 My opinion is that Magura is not enough serios about making brakes for trials. The original magura pads are absolutely crap. The levers are not enough "trials specific". If deng's brake will be available, then it will be really popular. A good brake, good lever, good pads, good pistons (small enough to have room for the cranks).So my opinion: it's just a matter of time. Deng will win...I agree....and maguras aren´t specific trials brakes, it´s for xc...Deng made his brake thinking about trials use... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JsyJoel93 Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 (edited) originallity - maguracopying an old product and potentially making it better - dengone other issue is i can see it being a big market for people upgrading there whole set up, or just starting out in trials. if i was going to buy a rear maggie set up today.for a new frame. id go and get(if i was a a style concerned rider)1 rear magura £65.001 set of cnc 4 bolt mounts £25.00 (and thent throw the evo set up that came with my brake away as its now redundant) 1 set of echo pads £18.00this little lot comes to £108.00 for a single brake, which is nearing twice the price of the maggie itself. so can see how even with more expensive set up, deng can become popular, as some of the parts you pay for in the maggie set up(evo mounts, pads etc) wont be used.note: this doesnt include what many people would do, and go and buy a deng lever at an additional £25, which makes the cost of denging the brake, and getting to the spec most people want for trials, in excess of the cost of the origingal new brake. so deng could charge £265 for front and rear brake set ups, and it would still be cheaper than the dengura brakes most people want to run now.havent brought boosters into this, cos both set ups will want a booster buying additionally. but the deng set looks to include pads, mounts and a deng lever.These two have it spot on but unfortunately the deng(unoriginal copies) are probably going to be the better brake due to a smaller piston. The lever being bigger than the piston the fluid is compressed therefore flows faster with the same amount of pressure. pretty simple stuff but very effective Joel Edited January 15, 2007 by JsyJoel93 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ridelife Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 magura all the way i would think as they have been making them for ages and know what they are doing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blommah Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 I think that echo will win, since it looks that the echo brake has come out of the maggies. maggies=xc, echo=trialsmaggies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcourt2005 Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 oh my goodness.They look so much better than the maggies. But like alot oth the people on here have said.We will have to wait and see wont we.I think maggies will still be better and if they arent, magura will make better ones.
