  1. I can't see why so many people are going back to magura. A few people now have said that they run a rear disk and think its great, but then say that they are going back to magura and I can't see why, all I have had is trouble from my magura, my piston doesn't fit the barrel properely and so it leeks and oil gets out and air gets in. I agree with getting a kamel, I prefer the new one but I don't really want it in red. I haven't seen anybody that owns the atomz 20", there are no videos or anything. What about the new koxx bikes, I like my levelboss that I own now but it doesn't have a disk mount on the frame. Does anyone know where to find pictures of the new koxx bikes?
  2. My dad does not have a clue about the bikes, he just sees it as a sport that im good at but just keeps costing him more money. My bike just keeps breaking and is costing a lot. Im still heading more towards a rear disk, I really want a new bike I am currently trying to find a bit of money to buy a new bike but I think it will be a dual disk, I rather like the monty kamels, or the atomz mod?
  3. I have been offered another rim to fit to my bike and I could gring that, but its off a new onza t-pro so its not as good as what I have already got and it ways lots more because it is not drilled. I still think that I am going to save up to buy a dual disk bike, or re-build mine.
  4. No, my dad wont let me get a grind because it will wreck the rim. I currently have an awesome pair of metallic gold rims and he reckons it will ruin them. Plus I will keep having to buy new rims. My front hope doesnt stop working in the wet and my disk has got a reasonably large surface area. If you use the monty disks they are really skinny and designed to be used in the wet because the water doesnt stick to them?
  5. I would use a grind, but my dad refuses to let me, thats another reason to get a disk because I can ride in the wet and my dad is happy to let me get a rear disk. My front hope mono I have never had a problem with, I have slipped and landed on it a few times but I just bend it back and I dont have a problem. I always manage to snap the lever on the piece between the piston and the lever, so the lever is still good and so is the piston but the piece of metal that holds the two together snaps and is unfixable. But I only ever manage to snap the magura lever the hope lever is indestructable
  6. I use tar on the rim, the brake when it works is good, I just have a big problem with the magura pistons not retracting fully, and over time it gets worse?

  9. Hi, I have been riding a few years and am starting to get seriously into the sport. About six months ago I purchased a koxx level boss with front hope, whilst on the rear I have a magura. I recently have started to have lots of problems with the magura, the pads stick to the wheel, it constantly needs bleeding, and every time my wheel goes out of line I have to set up the rear wheel again. Is it just me or do lots of others feel a rear disk is easier and better? My hope on the front is superb and I have never had any problems with it, plus the lever is stronger, I have a habbit of breaking the magura levers. What do you think I should do?
