Wright Pads Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 180 Avid has a lot of power once beded in. I'd go for that as if you wanted to get shot of it, it'll appel to all riders!CRC do the parts you after, just got to look harder! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1337 Trials Posted November 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 Ok mate. They do 180mm right??? P.s. I heard 180mm would be overpower for a mod ~Matty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1337 Trials Posted November 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 1 more thing is that CRC used to have the avid bb7 but at a reduced price of £50 and now they sold out and maybe there not getting anymore P.s.

Wright Pads Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 BB9 i guess is 2007 stuff so non of us really will of seen or used it!180mm is fine, it's like do you really belive what ever bird tell you that you willy is too smal ldoes nowt for them? It's up to you but it's how you use it that matter. You don;t need to hit the brake to get you and the bike to move, you should move with the bike and the brake!

Caplanski Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 I had a set of speed dial 5's on one of my old bikes long in the past, would say they work petty well, had one of those ti ones well the same design but not that expensive, wouldnt see the point in getting that really expensive lever for a cable brake, but yeah they work great.

Orgun_Donor Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 FFS people ,lol. Well the avid bb7 is alot cheaper and I do need some cash for other stuff ~Matty In my experience its also better perfoming then the Hope, and feels much nicer. Personally my next Disc will be an Avid BB7. When/if my Julie ever packs up on me. God Bless magura! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1337 Trials Posted November 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 Its Avid now. I do like the avid 7 lever. Like a copper one looks quite nice. Kinda red to go with my bike But is it stronger than the avid 5 because I had that on my other bike fell off and bent it. Wasn't a hard crash either. ~Matty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1337 Trials Posted November 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 Aup people, long time no post ,hehe. I dunno if to buy the avid juicy 5 because if I got a BB7 for £80 (185mm) and then lever for £30 would work out cheaper to get avid juicy 5, also I prefer feel of hydro. Anyone tryed and tested avid juicy?? Thanks... ~Matty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ted Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 (edited) Because you ride a mod, a 160mm disk has more than enough power. From wiggle they are £63. The levers from chain reaction cycles are £20. So that is already £30 pounds cheaper then you thought. Also, i have ridden a freinds cross country bike many times with avid juicy 5's. In my opinion they feel spongy and seem to only have just enough power to stop him. I think the BB7 is alot better suited to trials .

As for thew thread, for a mod, get a BB7, with a 165mm rotor.Mine's perfeft.And I'm using a cable I got from work (Halfords) and an old Avid SD3 lever, and it's still nice.

Hmmmmz, I do like the xtr lever, hehe. Thats £30. But worth it I guess. Anyone got a picture of a bike with a 160mm rotor on it and one with a 180mm rotor on it??? ~Matty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1337 Trials Posted November 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 (edited) Very nice. Looks pretty cool. You know theres that rotor and the other rotor. http://www.pricepoint.com/images/styleImag...15%20AVDMB3.jpg Is there any difference??? ~Matty Edited November 19, 2006 by Matt-y Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like this:[attachmentid=8249]As I said before, I think it feels sharper because there is less metal that the pads hit, so it will cool down alot quicker. Something like that anyway. I'm sure someone else could explain it better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caplanski Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 well not really as you need the whole surface of the pad to make contact with the rotor to make it sharp, and it would depend on the composit of the pad as well as the condition of the rotor, and as for cooling the only brake that i have had any problem with as for cooling was the really old C2's hope brought out, which you had a on fly wheel adjuster so that you could move the piston your self, which was a good idea, yeah but your rotor mate is really cool lol i wish i had money for one of those beasts lolyeah its best to get the bigest rotor (in experiance) well 160mm to 180 works great, as the rotor (the bigger it gets) rotates slower, so that it can bite alot better and get that sharpness back, so a 180 should be alot sharper than a 160 anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
