the judge Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 I think if you were to ask the wider mtb ing public this would be a no brainer!!!!Im not quite sure why, but trials forum is the only place where a cable disc is viewed as a serious rival to anything hydraulic.If you went out doing dh,freeride, cross country or whatever and said you had bought a cable brake over hope/hayes/shimano etc you would be viewed as absolutely mental.That's true, but that's because trials uses brakes in a completely different way. In dh, freeride, xc etc brakes are used for slowing down (not locking) and so there is an issue of heat build up. Cable brakes are complete poo at dealing with heat and so thats probably why they're only really used in trials, because there's no heat build up.
