What Are The Best Brakes


owain bowles

Recommended Posts

i use on the rear a normal magura with a 04 lever, normal hosing, custom made booster, coust pads, medium grind and tar, works great

i use on the front a avid 7 vee brake with avid cable and pads on a light grind and when thats set up proably its incredible.

you can have any brake and you can make it work, i no mate who uses kool stops on a smooth rim and he can still go big.

i say put a magura on the rear and a vee on the front both incredible easy to set up and you dont have the worry of hitting it on the wall/log like i do when i used to ride a disk brake

unless you do want a disk brake then i either suggest the new hope, i tried them lasst night on my mates new monty and they work incredbile very nice pull, or i say a avid bb7 with a 203mmm rotor, or if you really wanna scare your mates buy a magura louise FR i lost count how many times i went over the bars when i used that brake

maguras are good and cheap get a set off ebay? for about £50 tops?

v's are good, but they usualy cost a bomb for a decent set of levers, v's, decent cable set etc

also rear magie and front v are cool (Y)

ye vees all the way. i reckon it depends on how good you are at trials though..

you dont want to get a disk brake for £150

if you dont do any front wheel moves.

when you can get a vee for nothing. (mostly 30-40)

id say a mag for the rear though.

i wouldnt trust a vee on the back..

caspa.
