How powerful should a hb be ?

[N.Q.I_Dave]

Oh and Ant, not like that. For starters you want a remote reservoir so you can flip it upside down.

There's someone on the US section who gets them cheap, there's thread about it somewhere.

[ant...]

Damn I was liking the price

[N.Q.I_Dave]

On a side note, I just bought a magura master for £45. Anyone want one?

[rockstar.billy]

what mill is it dave?

[ant...]

This is the Magura 13mm and its more expensive than the brembo.

ghostie i dont know what he got now cos it was dark but was pretty good but i could not ride his bike for shit cos cut down clutch lever really gangsta short
but i have to say that

Lee's 13mm magura is the best setp up twin caliper adapter with 2 rear calipers from a 636 on his 636 c model it has loads of power and is the most progressive feel definatley the best brake set up i have ever rode with by a long way


so 13 magura all th way for sure

You know you loved it Toby:YEAH hehe when you gettin the c1h??


The Brembo IMO is just as strong, the difference is i have 10x more feel with the magura then any brembo. Its also 100x better with the duel caliper set up. I no longer have blisters on my finger from hours of riding and can do rev limiter ss coaster with ease.

I've rode with Brembo's i just dont like them. But saying that i'd get used to it if thats what i had to use.

This is the one i have. Paid about £130 from ebay

Thats good info mate, dual caliper setup is next on my shopping list.

Its expensive to do it properly though

No, not at all. Maybe even cheaper. Its the master thats gona coast ya. Then by a rear caliper and bracket for your bike from ebay (mine was £40 all in) and get it welded up to the other one. Run a line from the master and your good to go.



Also i think a front caliper (4 pot piston) is to much. A stock rear is enough for me, and its easyer to fit on the bike

[jabgo]

Im going to get the brackets welded together the same as ludo s 2x standard brackets and calipars. Need to get a line made up aswell then just have to get the hang of using it lol also i have a new 13mm brembo.

[SBS Pez]

I have the long brake lines in stock:YEAH

There is a lot of ways to run rear hand brakes and in time I will stock them all Im having dual brake holders made now for the popular bikes.

But many pros like Jason Britton, Kane,Dan Jackson,Justin Woo and Teach just use a fullthrottle adaptor.

I know a lot use the full throttle adpator but they have a little time delay when ya use the hand brake, its when it takes up the play in the other master. Once ya have used a dual set up ya wouldnt go back

+1:YEAH

You will only want a duel set up in a few months so why not get it from the off??

Its the best thing sins sliced bread

[Joe87]

im going dual caliper as soon as i can afford.
I have to get longer line, a new master as mine is welded, the bracket and a caliper.

[jabgo]

Fitted my HB yesterday, just need to figure out how to use it lol.

I did the same as lee got another rear caliper and bracket and welded them together (factory job) and have a new 13mm radial brembo. Just need to bed the old pads in.

[mungo]

i have full throttle adaptor and a 16x18 brembo and i used it for the first time on the weekend and its ultra powerfull ( i think anyway as its the only 1 ive ever used lol)

Not forgetting CP :YEAH ,It comes down to what you might think will help you in a lot of cases!Practice,the correct mind set and Ability is the most important part thats my .The twin caliper system does give you the chance to put different pads for hand&foot,which might be an advantage!My handbrake is powerful enough when using EBC doubleHH but at the same time my foot brake is to powerful!!!When using gold pads the handbrake isn't powerful enough but the foot brake is spot on With the twin system if you don't use both equalily, ie if you use the handbrake say 90% of the time, then foot brake willn't be beded correctly to the disc so that might be inconsistant!!!!!!!!!
Whatever gives you confidents in yourself and your motorsickal:YEAH

[TOBY-]

That is a really good point johnny didnt think of that!

Lucky for me I am old scool and still use both bout the same ammount

[Sparks!]

Got all my ho hey bits now, (thanks for quick delivery of the line Pez, good price and 2 day delivery :YEAH) will let you all know what the ho hey is like compared to the full throttle style :YEAH

[TOBY-]

Have you got the front calliper set up craig or the dual rear caliper one ?
