1337 Trials Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 Disc front maggy back. I think this because disc is good and no messing around to get good like grinds etc but its harder to watch the back end so its easyier to clip and bend the rotor on the back. ~Matty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron_W Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 I personaly like disc as you don't need to worry about wet grass on your rims. I also like them as they are more reliable and a better hold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My cable avid bb7 is a beaut and twice the bite as all of the hydraulic brakes ive rode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamAllen Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 Rim brakes, even though they are more annoying and need more attention i just like them, they look neater i think.CheersAdam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a 180mm rotor and switched to a 203mm. I think I nudged it only once; otherwise, you don't really hit it at all. Once you set them up (avid BB7 kool stop pads, avid polygon rotors) you don't really dick around with them and you have always consistent performance and works great in the wet.

STC Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 Disc Brakes are the best if you hate having to take your bike to the shop to get a new hose lol which I do love poping mine not good, Well anyway Disc ***!Laters peope.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul@rettotrials Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 I personally run Maggie's front and back, and i think they are good. I have never run disc brakes before, so i can not really say what are the best. Otho my friend Matt runs a BB 7 on the front witch i have had a few gos on and it is pretty grippy, and i think i would get one if i had the money, but for the time being my Maggie will do just fine. Thanks Paul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanie-b Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 well i am only 11Yet, there is younger riders then you, who turned upto trials every week to ride?

My cable avid bb7 is a beaut and twice the bite as all of the hydraulic brakes ive rode.I've played with hopes+run a bb7 i prefer the lever feel on hopes which is what he was talking about not the power/bite (unless i misread his post then i'm sorry).on topic:prefer a disk on front and rim on back although i want to try a rear disk they look awesome and the power some disks have is stupid plus with a disk you have proportionality and the ability to lock up the wheel, with a rim brake unless you've got a smooth rim/ultra light grind you don't really want to go round dragging the brake. but you don't need proportional f+r so it's not realy important. does it matter though?

BB7s squeak sometimes if there is a gap between the inner pad and the rotor and if you have dirt/oil on the pads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RomanC Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 I use a Hope/Monty disk brake.Adam. You can always clean the rotors with alcohol and cook your pads. 350F in the oven for 20minutes works well. also you can use sand paper to remove the glaze from the pads or just scrub them on dry concrete.
