and not to forget another vote for the formulas oro

 

[bstrick]

Started on hope mono mini. Great at first but once they were gone they were way gone. I just got the elixirs. Not as blingy but they seems great for the first 300 miles. Power would be the main element I'd point out.

 

[7daysaweek]

BB7s have been great for me. No issues, feel better than a set of juicy 7's i tried out and no maintenance problems.

 

[wes m.]

BB7s based on simplicity/reliability. I can brake into a skid with them using 1 finger so its not like I need the increased power of hydraulics.

 

[mtnbiker72]

BB7's have never lacked power, but skidding is awful hard on trails. The advantage of hydros in modulation of power.

My Avid Juicy 5's have been stone reliable and when I trimmed the hoses it took all of 10-15 minutes at a casual pace to bleed both.

 

[vortrex]

I've had hope mono mini, BB7, formula K24, and formula puro. the formula's totally blow the others away, not even a comparison.

 

[dtrek4500]

Second the hope mono mini's and also mini. Also for mechanical avid bb7.

 

[Schultz29]

BB7's with G2 Clean Sweep rotors, 185mm up front and 160mm in the rear. Avid Ultimate levers and Flak Jacket cables.

Formula Ones.

I'll play

The best feeling brakes with the best performance that I have ridden were on the above Carver 650B titanium rig. I want to say they were something Magura came out with for 2008, but I can't recall for sure. Man! Those were sweet brakes though!

The best modulation I have attained was when I had this bike. BB-7's, Nokon housing, old, old Avid SD-1 levers. Modulation for days. This set up, minus the Nokon housing, is on my OS Blackbuck now and is just marginally less spectacular. Nokons are the difference but they are stupid expensive.

Covers all categories.

Formula

The One, I've had BB7a, Juicy 5 and 7 and Code and Hayes. I really noticed a difference in power and modulation and best of all ...... NO SQUEAL from The One, even when wet!

 

[7daysaweek]

Oh yea... pics!:thumbsup:

 

[Hand/of/Midas]

Elixer CRs, i know most of you all havent rode them yet, that sucks. theyre incredible. just wait and you will also know this. till then you can say something else.

 

[kikoreta]

Tried BB7s, Juicys, and Shimano Deore XT 775. I like the XTs the best. Servowave works well and offers tons of stopping power and modulation.

 

[euroford]

shimano saints. omg, they just feel soooooo good.

bb7's... are you kidding me? i can't WAIT to get those things off my rig. soon to be replaced by some marta sl's, which i also have on my mob, and must say i've been VERY happy with.

fwiw... initial impressions of formula oro's have been very favorable, though my impressions do not go beyond initial.

 

[Torque Wrench]

Formula

I've had Hope M4s, Juicy 7s, Elixir CR and Shimano Saints. Now I'm running Formula The Ones and Megas. The Formulas blow the others away in all respects.
