adam trials

Recommended Posts

Shame really because i cannot afford them :P if the prices were lower i think alot of people would have them over magura brakes.

Yeah if they were a lower price i would have my maggies straight on ebay to but some Echo brakes.If the were £150 for the pair i would have som but at £150 each they cost more than the hope mono trial 180"!!!!!!!!!!!

It is true that they are a bit pricy, but you can't compare it to a magura without adding these upgrades to the magura:

  • 1 Maggie - £65
  • 1 Echo Lever - £25
  • 1 Set Of Echo Brake Mounts - £25
  • 1 Set Of Echo Pads - £18

This all comes to a grand total of £133.

Not a huge difference, especially when you think that this brake is designed for trials and is fully CNC'd.

I do think that they have made a huge mistake though, you are still going to have to upgrade it, it doesn't come with a booster of braided hosing which is a piss take really, this is supposed to be the ultimate trials rim brake, I would expect to be able to fit it straight from the box and before I use it I am going to have to re-bleed it!

I would only buy this when building up a complete new bike, even then I would need to upgrade it though...

What do you mean 'designed for trials', the only differance I can see and that we've been told is that the cylinders are smaller, which shouldn't even be a problem if frame designers (deng) knew how to design frames correctly in the first place.

I also seriously doubt that those pieces are fully CNC machined, more likely cast and then finished by CNC. You'd expect them to be machined out of solid billet, but I don't know how you know for sure?

Ask deng! They actually havn't been re-designed for trials, they have simply copied and slightly altered maguras original design.
