N.Wood Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 You'd have to get a massive rotor to make it anywhere near a decent trials brake.What i'd do is buy a Hope Mono Trials Caliper and attach it to your existing lever and hose, if you really want a disk.

koxx nev Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 i had one on the back of my orange zero and they are quite good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dani. Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 A mono mini will never be as good as a mono trial obviously, and although hope brakes are damn good usually, the mono mini is a brakes destined for XC use, therefore has better modulation capacities than anything else. You can pick up a monotrial at tartybikes (they only do the '07 ones) if you're feeling rich or you can get one on Ebay, chainreactioncycles, etc juste have a look around. Alternativeley if they're out of your price range you can go for an avid BB7, they're supposed to be damn good for a mechanical brake.

Chris Walls Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 i used to have a hope mono mini on the rear of my monty, i personally wouldn't recomend it, first trick i did it slipped and i ended up on my arse Then i changed to the hope trial one, which was fine, held really well.

But i know when i changed to the mono trials one, i felt a lot more confident riding when using it. Some people find the mono mini good, but i just didn't really bond with it lol Chris Edited April 29, 2007 by Chris Walls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simtradan Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 Ive been riding a mono trial on the front and rear with a 200mm rotor, it is far too powerful sometimes and slipps other times, will also put strain on the spokes so will constantly be coming undone. Just bought echo rim break so should be running that soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.mitch Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 in my experience, the mono mini tends to slip and leak for some strange reason. Mono trial feels a million times better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
