Wow its been a really long time since I have posted.
My second bike is a do all, winter (for GA), beat the snot out of bike.
Its a 01 or 02 Giant AC Lite Air and when I got it came with Hayes Comp brakes. Since I have ridden it I have hated the brakes, they do not stop. I dont know if its because of how old they are, if they were crappy to begin with, pads etc.
I am looking at possibly getting some new brakes so that I can stop but wanting to keep it cheaper. (under $200 for front and rear) Being a student I gotta watch the funds.
I was wondering if anybody had experience with the Magura Julie HP brakes. Can get them cheap enough new but I know nothing about them. I have worked on Avid Juicys a bunch but bleed them is a PITA.
Any suggestions about the Hayes (were they just that bad?) ?
Any expereince with the margura julies?
