mini-yanni Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 Maggie.everyone i know runs a rear maggie and they're more out of the way than a rotor which is quite easy to hit causing it too bend/ snap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willh Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 People tend to go with rear maggie and front disk I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

20inchsuperstar Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 if youve a monty and do comps, disk, if not maggie!matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattB Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 A rear disc is very hard to hit and I have sidehopped towards the disc, missed and not hit it. It also gives more grip than a maggy espcially if on natural.Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wunderboy Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 221ti dual disc... no complaints... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tryabean Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 hey i would definatly go for a magura as they are so good for street trials the only thing bad about them is that if you hit the bridging pipe it tends to explode as i found out!

Greetings Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 A hope on a mod is much more powerful than maguras. If you ride urban get a disc because you probably won't hit it, if natural then go for a magura. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
python Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 Maggie.everyone i know runs a rear maggie and they're more out of the way than a rotor which is quite easy to hit causing it too bend/ snap.some people only run maguras on the back beacause they dont have a disc hub or disc mount on frame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mod Man Leo Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 maggie rear, bb7 front. 203mm ofcon a MOD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Lowe Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 If you have the money go twin disc, the myth of hitting them is rubbish, your going to brake things doing trials whatever you use so you may as well go for a brake that works. I know people that have maguras and they damage them side hoping. I have been running discs for years now and have damaged one disc (a replacment cost of £20).Discs always work, until you get oil on them. Then the same can be said about rim brakes.

Alex.loves.boys Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 (edited) Rear disk for mod for me.Glyn's is amazing, silent, locks like mad, bite, modulation. Its perfect.But for stock its a maggie.Id get a vee if i knew how to set them up properly and had the money.Mind you, saying that Rich pearson's rear disk seemd to do him well, althugh when i went on on it, it where a bit crap:PMaybe that was just me becuase it holds up the masive stuff he does.So to sumMod-diskstock-mag/vee Edited March 4, 2007 by alext Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearded Midget Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 it depends what type of riding u do most.if u do natural on rocks then u will most probably want a magura as there is les chance of breaking it.but if u ride a lot of street then i suggest a disk as it is much easier to use than maggie and it doesnt stick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ned1 Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 (edited) maggy all the way every bike with rear disc (excluding tarty adams) have been horrible. maggys seems to lock so much nicer and they squeek ..have you ever considered a vee brake?

Lambton Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 i'd run a maggie on the back, real agressive, no disc to bend when you're side hopping!!!disc on the front makes some people ride a little bit smoother.......and you keep the paint or anodizing on your rim!!!lol!!!good in the wet as well!

Meller Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 I use Vee's on the back and disc on the front and that is a really power full combination, both for street and natural. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
