rosswaa Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 (edited) what are these double disc brake things, any pictures about, iv never seen themim gunna now guess that this is just a disc on front and back rather than 2 at the front as i first thought lmao Edited August 20, 2007 by rosswaa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rosswaa Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 haha i thought so, although having a two disc front setup would be cool as fcuk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekes Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 I would get the ultimates if i would buy a juicy brakeset, they have CNC calipres i believe and have higher braking force. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogre Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 avid brakes seem prety awesome, go for bb7s though there stupidly powerfull get 203mm rotors f+r tehe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Owen. Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 i ride an 07 221pr, and run double disks. got a hope mono trials on the rear, and its pretty awsome, great hold and bite, i would deffinately reccomend them. Also i would say not to go juicy carbon because they arent a trials specific brake, i rekon they are good brakes, but dont have enough hold on them, they bite ok but i would deffinately reccomend mono trials. and the hopes are cheaper arent they?? hope i helped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenLeacock™ Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 no point getting avid ultimates, they are free ride brakes and to good for a trials bike, your frame wont be able to handle them. Plus if you got that money you may as well get avid code's but they have the same problem. You mayas well just get a 180/203mm bb7 or a 180 mono trial Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ogre Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 Why Avid BB7?I don't like Mech brake, doesn't look as goodwould Avid Juicy carbon not work for trials?bb7s have loads of adjustment on them, you can move the pads in + out individually (which you can't do on hydraulics, i dont think) they're cheaper, looks don't mean f**k all compared to something that works really well, and it's easier to get spares if a mechanical brake dies mid ride it's not going to cost more than a 5er to replace cables etc, with a hyrdo theres loads that can go wrong. bb7ftw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fvil Posted August 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 I take it both Avid Juicy Carbon and Hope Mono Trial are as good as each otherDisk brakes are powerful anywaysI dont think it would do much problems to the framesince its designed for dub diskso I guess its down to price Thankyou all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
