El Cristoff Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 Welll...Its your choice, do you want a maggie on the front or not?Theres no wrong or right choice, its all about personal preference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spartan Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 Having a maggie up front i think is a little more work cuz u have to grind and tar two rims and stuff.Basically a front maggie=on/off no modulation disc=more modulationIf you want your front brake to feel like the rear then go with a maggie if you wanna do nose manuals and stuff go front disc for surecheers,Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben John-Hynes Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 Having a maggie up front i think is a little more work cuz u have to grind and tar two rims and stuff.Wrong!If you use the right pads and set the brake up well,then you won't need a grind or tar!I would strongly recommend a Magura on the front!Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam F Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 if you get the right pads you don't i have a no grinded front echo rim with echo 07 pads and they ar eas good as a hydro discWhen i last saw you, your front rim was rapped with tar.. didn't look like it was working either.

Giddy Koxx Boy Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 I have a Koxx XTP 2 i am running with front and back Try-All by Hope discs its excelent. If you do not want to spend too much i would reccomend this:http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Hope-Mono-Mini-Front-IS-mount-hydraulic-Disc-brake_W0QQitemZ200209714715QQihZ010QQcategoryZ58082QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItemWill probably go for around £50 well worth it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Shields Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 alright, i used to have both magura and it felt awesome with a little coating of tar, but i rode a friends bike who's running a bb7 and it felt awesome aswell like people said, it comes down to preference.

JoeM Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 Do it. My Plazmatics with a sharp light grind are better than any disc i've used. Going to give these Neco Reds a go next time. But yeah, it all comes down to personal preference. If you want stupidly powerful brakes, then get a vee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Burgess Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 Well my prefer'd choice is a front disc and a rear maggie.At the end of the day it's what ever you real good with mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daborn Meister Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 For the rear brake HS33 is normally the one to have.Discs and V arn't quite good enough for some riders.For the front you could but a HS33 in a pair and save something like a tenner or so, or you could get a disc.Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicks Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 ye there good but a avid bb7 disk is quit good to have on the front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan_addison Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Having a maggie up front i think is a little more work cuz u have to grind and tar two rims and stuff.Dont nessercerly(sp) need a grind or tar. good set up and decent pads will work just as wellFrom personal preferance a BB5 or 7 would be better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
