What Rear Disk?


_Owen.

Recommended Posts

As my monty should be arriving tommorrow i am considering going rear disk, but not sure what to go for? as it is going to be rear i want to be able to have alot of trust in it whilst gapping etc so will not want a crappy slippy one. also i dont want to spend too much money on it, so no carbon £200 stuff! i also think i may be able to get a hope mono mini for pretty cheap, so is that a good option to go for? i would appreciate reccomendations (Y) cheers, owen

mono trials suck even on the front

185mm bb7 would do fine

although before you committ I STRONGLY suggest you find someone with a monty frame + a bb7 on the rear to make sure it does fit. I can tell you now a bb7 does not fit smoothly/without modification on a hydroxx frame because there is a large weld in the way where the mounting braket goes.

i would suggest either the Avid bb7 or the new 07 hope mono trials. Both these brakes are amazing and you hold on anything. I have used both brakes on the front but only the hope brake on the back and the hope brake was imense. I would recommend the hope disk over the bb7 but its your choice. The bb7 would be the cheaper option as the hope is £150!

cheers lou.

Hi mate, i would go for the 2007 Hope mono mini trials, not the mono mini, cause i had one of thoes and there just is not enough power behind them, as they are made for XC riding.

iv heard that BB7's explode if they are put on the rear :S god knows??

Hope ***!!(Y)
