Okay, dumb title.
So, I've got this new frame (DMR Transition) I just built it up and works and looks great. I went brakeless for a little bit, but then I started to ride some jumps so I threw a brake back up there for the whole "running into trees and my friends" things. I forgot how much I like brakes. On my old bike, I upgraded to bb5's. I couldn't learn to like to them. I prefer the feeling the feeling of hydros. I work at a shop who deals QBP so I would prefer to use that. They sell Avid, Forumla, Hope, Shimano, and Hayes.
I have a Saint rear hub, so a Saint brake would make sense, right? But, I've herd that Shimano brakes have no modulation, is this true? Seeing as the Saint rear hub has that crazy lock ring thing, does that mean I can only use a Saint rotor or do I have other options? My thoughts were a Juicy 7, but I'm not big fan of Avid, though the Juicy does feel nice. I would love to have an HS33, but I'm worried about it's performance, specifically on dirt. I have an S-type rim, so can I use a rim brake? Sun Ringle's website gives virtually no information, which is why I'm asking.
Does anybody have any recomendations?
This is a rear brake.
By the way, if your selling a good brake, I could take it off your hands for yound . :biggrin:
