Hayes 9 on front ok?

[Gronk]

Hey all, I found a shop online that has hayes hfx9 carbon brakes for US$89 an end. I'm just wondering how they would go as front brakes for trials? I am thinking of getting these or maybe the Avid BB7, both in 6".

I was running a Hayes purple DH with 8" rotor before I got my Hope monotrial, it was ok but nothing on the Hope, with 6" rotor I'd say it wont be very good. I'd go the BB7 for sure, these can be set up to be just as powerful as any hydro brake and are a very popular choice for trials riders.

Thanks, I've actually had 9's on other bikes and was never trully happy with them... I'll definitely go for the BB7s.
