Really? Lower than 28x21? Thats approximately the equivalent of 18x15 on 26" wheels, which I thought was the standard. Yeh I'm aware of bigger discs benefits, I usually run 203's on my mountain bikes. I guess the bigger holes mean the pad sinks in more like with wavey discs. Thanks

So the trial rotors are good then? The fork is 465mm axle to crown, but I might put the shorter 425mm version on. The fork is designed for 26” wheels so that also adds an extra inch of height.

I can already do that though, and it already has a rear brake, but it’s shit. So if im going to get a brake good enough for trials moves, is the Hope trial zone brake actually better than the rest, or will any decent brake do?

Howdy, I've always been interested in trials but never gave it a go. Over the last 20 years I've ridden BMX park, dirt jumping, and racing, and also MTB jumping, 4X racing and singletrack/DH, so finally, here I am. I have too many bikes already so I just want to convert my most suitable bike for trials (street trials is the phrase here I think). I'm going to be using my Brooklyn machine Works Park bike (24" wheel), and I have dropped the gear to a 28x21=1.33 (for now), getting a longer stem (the 26" suspension corrected forks are really high already so only need a longer stem, no rise), and now finally need to think about brakes. It doesn't have rim brake mounts, so disc only, and my question is simple: What brake shall I use? Is the Hope Trial Zone much better than any other decent disc? Is the trials rotor worth it too? I have an old Hope Mini I can use, or a Shimano SLX, or an Avid Elixir CR. I know the rear is more important so I can always use one of these for the front anyway, but the rear is where I would like some advice please.
