Onza Kieron Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 Brett (planet-x-boy) on here has one of these now, I think, its a Formula anyway, and its nowhere close to his avids were. I'm sure he'll post up in a lil bit... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reinold Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 I think formula ORO's are good but if i were you i would consider saving up a bit more and gettin an 07 mono trial or an avid disk brake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

planet-x-boy Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 I have a 200mm on my 26", it started off really really good and was locking just like my bb7 but it gradually got worse (probs got some oil on it) so i got a new hope 200mm rotor for it and sanded the pads a little and now it is back to its locking self. If you treat it well and try not to contaminate it is an awsome break.Deffinatly a yes from me Brett.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
