Hi all, I am quite new to trials. At 41 years old, I got my very first trials bike, and I love it. I ride in Halifax... no, not the UK one. The one in Canada. Which means I'm really the only one around here that rides trials. I'm hoping you guys can give me some advice, as there really aren't any local riders. I have an Echo czar ion pro (https://www.hbtrials.com/echo-czar-ion-24-pro-blue-.html), and when I ordered it they couldn't source the usual brakes (due to the pandemic), so it came with some avid BB-5's (single piston, cable actuated, 180mm rotors). As a result, it was less expensive than normal. But, I really feel these brakes are holding me back. They have no bite whatsoever. I'm thinking it is time to upgrade them, and I'm wondering if anyone has some suggestions. I have heard that "properly adjusted" cable actuated brakes "can" be pretty powerful. While I'm reasonably good at fixing/adjusting my bikes, I'm by no means a trained mechanic. I found these brakes really hard to dial in, and so they really aren't that powerful. I did take them to a shop, and they got them setup okay. Still, I think I need better brakes. But, since this is very much an entry level trials bike, I'm looking for hydraulic brakes that won't... brake my budget. Any thoughts? If it helps, I've been mostly riding trails for the past few decades. I splurged on a carbon trail bike a few years ago, and it's fantastic. And it still has only simple shimano deore brakes. And they're miles better than the avids on my trials bike. I don't need top of the line, I'm just hoping to find something a bit better. Let me know if you guys have any suggestions for brakes. And maybe a good place to source them from (remember, would need to be shipped to Canada). Thanks!
