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

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?

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?

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?
