Matthew_Gibson Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Front or rear?Disc front, Rear Maggy. I'd like to get a rear dics but that are very little stocks out there wit disk mounts. But i thuink Deng will jump on the band wagon and do one with dics mounts. Id also like to try a vee out and see if its as good or better that a maggie. BUt for me its gotta be what i said above! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogre Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 (edited) front or rear? depends on riding style to (cls style gaps etc i wouldn't trust a disk) Edited January 23, 2007 by ogre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ibs_m Posted January 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 For the rear!Which disc??Hope mono trials? - dont know any other good onesKeep em coming please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpson Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 yea like said above in my exp. of rear disks there great fun for messing about on! feel great nice lever feel but ive never really felt that sudden BITE you get on a maggie..... so for big gaps and challenging ups it doesnt really work i kinda always feel myslef wanting to go over the object to land ontop of it so not to push the brake too hard.... get me?

ibs_m Posted January 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Yeh i defo do get you!Thats what i was afraid of - I was hoping the mono trial would not slip like that - may have to be a maggy then if discs are crap for ups Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 My mate has 07 hope mono trial 160s on his MOD, they are so good! Even when they get wet just drag the brakes until they get hot and it evapourates off! whereas maggies disolve their pads when they look at water.If you are looking for sudden bite, get bigger rotors, some people run 180s but ask adam from tartybikes, he has ridden double disk for a while so he will be able to say which discs are best in the loverly british weather!

Wiggins15 Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Maggy front and back for the win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibs_m Posted January 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 I really want convincing that discs are amazing and worth the switch but I just hate the way they slip with forceHas anybody used them for silly rail gaps and been alright?IBS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy d Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 One negative point for discs: landing on and breaking rotors! Annoying, and can make you hold yourself back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loffa Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 A working Hope Mono Trials will not slip before a maggie would. Yes, they do not have the instant bite that a rim brake has, but if we are talking about the general wheel locking power I'd say that a mono trials is on par with a maggie. I've been running mine (200mm on a 26" bike) for a while now and so far it's been great. The only thing bothering me about it is that the caliper flexes a bit too much thus making the lever feel really mushy compared to my front BB7. But other than that it's a beast.

GTF Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 Front disc and rear vee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan6061 Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 B to the B7 up front, (BB7)And a Magura/Good V set up on't rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mat hudson Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 hmm i run a rear v because t kicks shit into a maggy, however a reardisk is tempting... if i got one it would be a 9 inch red raven rotor and a bb7 haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
