elliott the onza man Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 I wasnt sure what he wanted it for, front or back. But yea BB7 for front and try all for back. There is no point on getting a try all for front as you dont need it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Gibbs Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 Is there any real difference between the try-all hope mono trials and the regular hope mono trials other than the red piston cap and red master cylinder cap with try-all on it?

Guest Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 Correction, it has now bed'd in, put the pads on the disc spin the wheel put water on the pads and steam came of the brake because it was soo hot did that three times and works perfectly for me.

16 years later Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 Go for the hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiuSliS Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 For mode i'd say hope, although bb7 is also not that bad and much cheaper! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross McArthur Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 I find it hard to modulate a BB7, well, it's not as easy as modulating a hope anyway.The thing with the hopes is that you cant "burn it down a big hill", as it'll fade. I'm pretty sure you could set the BB7 on fire with stopping power and it would still have it's holding ability.If money is not an issue, go for the hope. It feels nicer and looks the dogs...

It feels nicer and looks the dogs...you say that and yet everyone still choses the hope hope yes it looks better but realy it all depends on what style of riding your doing as the bb7 would be better for tgs and the hope is best for an all rounder brake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Burrows Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 Personally I find the BB7 to be much better for trials. The hope usually has very good bite, but doesn't have quite the same holding power as an avid. I feel more confident with my BB7 that I can really throw myself to front without the brake slipping.

bikeperson45 Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 I like my Hope because it has great modulation and good bite as well, but for the money, BB7s are amazing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
