Whether there is a hub that good for trials like Hope SS?
Clerictgm mk2 replied to Clerictgm mk2's topic in Trials Chat
If I pay money I want the best. It seems that Kings are not the best, because alot of people saying that they skips. Alright, I'll try one. Which one is better for trials? -

Absolutely not. Ferrari are better than Ford in everything. Kings are not. Especially with new 80T hopes. -

But they costs 2.5+ times more than hope. Costs more and needs more attention. Hmmm... -

Lol, maybe if we all will sending this shit back every few months they get that something wrong with their hubs and make them better? I don't get why only 1 manufacturer can produce really heavy duty hubs. when other hubs costs even twice+ more and are total shit. -
Updated Inspired Fourplay White Gold

Brakes from fishing rods manufacturer? No thanks. I can't imagine what's so good about them? Bite, hold and modulation of M4 are incredibly good, what else do you need? -
Now that's a really good bike. Can't imagine how to improve it anymore, so I'll ride it and ride it and ride it.

Another hydro vs mechanics/brakes related thread

For me they are just cheap. Without comparisons. And there are exist some really expensive brake, but Hope not one of them. -

Hmmm, that means that SAW floating are good for trials, they are DH oriented. -

Yep, how can I forgot that icetech are really not floating, just 2-piece. Only wobble are shitty for trials... well Then I'll try some other 203 if I don't get enough power from echo 180 when they are fully bed in. I bought them not cheap, in UK they are cheaper. I had in mind that they are cheap in comparison with some really expensive things like new luxury cars and real estate. And as I said I don't lose a penny, even make some mini profit from this. Now I'm 99% sure I'll stick with M4 EVO GOLD, they looks so nice with my bike. And I prefer the brutal look of tech2 lever more than tech3. -

5% even if it's true are irrelevant, because M4 has more than enough power for trials. I suggest that V4 are too much (even DH riders prefer M4/E4). About lever, Tech2 EVO feels much comfier than Race/Trialzone. And adjustments are really good thing. The only thing that may be bad at hope brakes - no servo wave, but, who cares? Servo Wave seems to be not so attractive when you notice that saints are:: 1) on mineral oil 2) less leakproof 3) has no spares 4) less bombproof http://spokemagazine.com/2010/04/07/hand-brake/ 5) doesn't comes with braided hoses. (I personally don't want to ride trials without them. IMO it's better to have a little more weigh and forget about problems for years). Really? Ali riding ones. And Fabio also riding with SAW floating. Why they are bad for trials? -

Too much? Hopes are cheap. This is not a luxury car or something. And I will sell 2 pairs that I don't need after choosing one. Sell with a little markup so I don't lose anything anyway. About Saints I just want to know what so special in them. Every single rider says they are heavenly good. -

I've ordered few pair of hopes to try(M4/V4/V2) and wanted to buy saints. Also I've ordered hope 203 rotors just to try, lol. I'm not saying BB7 are bad brake, but in my hands it doesn't work for some reason. Adam said it's because of echo rotors but hope works well with them. -
So I've bought some new Hope Tech 2 EVO M4 and they are crazy awesome! Yep, there are no servo wave that Ali can't live without, but I'm not so high-fed and after BB7 this is a divine brakes. 1) On same rotors (echo TR 180) they working absolutely fine, locking power is awesome. Absolutely no slipping. 2) Lever feels just amazing. 3) It works like AK47, you need to move lever only on 2mm to fully release the wheel. Total control. 4) Awesome modulation. Not a gross and bad like at BB7, it's much more linear and controllable. And of course the look(and reliability in terms of leaking and they're just bombproof), 10 out of 10. I also bought some Tech 3 V4 RED to compare them (new lever a bit differs from TECH 2 + V4 has another set of pistons 2x25+2x16). What about Saints, I've found only pair of new M820 and as far as they're shit I did not buy them. I love mech brakes but IMO hydro>mechanics. Much more. For the first time in my life I'm totally SURE in my brakes. Also bought some 203 SAW Floating rotors, don't know if they are good for trials and should I set them up?

How good police at finding stolen bikes in Glasgow? Anyway without help of riders chances to find it are pretty bad.

How many people still keep / ride retro trials parts? Builds?
Clerictgm mk2 replied to Brettoll's topic in Trials Chat
Osom hub. -
You can use almost any brake for trials. But it must be set ideally and have a good rotor/pads combination.
