_Owen. Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 I would personally reccomend a bike hut hydrollic disk! Amazing power, bite and hold, and i think they are about £55 from your local Halfords! The best £55 you'l ever spend matey! No joke!Owen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Secod hand Mono Trial, about £50 tops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zona Zip Mark Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Magura Louise 2006 £80 and they have the best bite i have ever felt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oak T Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 (edited) Hope mono M4 180mm, really nice good bite, you can get them quite cheap off ebay.I'm using one right now best brake ever, ive had it since it came out few years, there's just so much grip i love them.Oakland Edited April 7, 2008 by oakland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandler Posted April 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 All different brands....interesting. Id prob go with the Louise as I wudnt wanna go 2nd hand.No one has mentioned magura julie, does that mean its pants?By the way, I assume when you have front hydraulic disc, you can take your wheel straight off via quick release(its not locked in or anything)?

cwbashaw Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 I have a Magura Louise sitting in my parts box. It works pretty good but I actually prefer the lever feel and adjustablilty of the Avid BB7 mechanical brake I'm using now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eskimo Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 By the way, I assume when you have front hydraulic disc, you can take your wheel straight off via quick release(its not locked in or anything)?Yeah. You don't have to disconnect anything with the disk.How come you don't want a cable disk? The BB7s are highly popular and work really well.

Chandler Posted April 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 I dont like the feel of cables. Also threads always break where they are held. Probably loads of other reasons in cable vs hydraulic topics! (and yes, reasons against hydraulic too)Personally, I tend to pull really hard on levers sometimes. Ive had Quad QMD-6 cable discs before and the cable came out of its tubing. Pain in the backside. Not for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have alot of bite and have superior hold to other disk setups i've had ago with. The brake also has braided hosing which might suit you well. Good luck.
