Shaun H Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 if tehy guy is a nice honest person he should send it to you let you try it and if you dont liek it then send it back.Not really? There's no way he'd be able to sell a used disc brake for the same amount as a brand new unfitted one is there...I wouldn't bother, all the clarks mechanical disc brakes I've tried on other bikes have been a bag of wank. Not tried it on a trials bike obviously but from memory they were just generally....crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAB Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 Get the set up right and they can be snappy as hell!!! but there in lies the problem, as sometimes they don't modulate very well the other problem is that some of them use a floating caliper (as in it's mounted on two pins with rubber shim's and not bolted to the fork) and the shims b#gger up well quick..

F-Stop Junkie Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 If you're on a budget, either stretch to an Avid Mechanical for £50 or so from CRC, or stick with a single Magura. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Bleech Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 (edited) what do you have at the moment? There is nothing wrong with a front magura or vee brake. Your money £25 would probably be best spent making them work well! Or save up a little bit more for an avid disc.

Onza Kieron Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 I have a front Shimano unit, works well, power was ok then i fitted new pads and cleaned the rotor, now i'm a happy man, it should be fine if your a beginner. (contact me if you want to buy one on the Shimano disc brakes as i have afew lying around). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
