Seems to me I'm the only rider here still using V-brakes! does anyone else not have discs? anyway, on my next bike I'm goin to get discs, it comes standard with Avid CPS discs but i was thinking of trading them in at purchase for a set of XT hydros. is it worth it to do this? I'm going to be using this bike for jumping, slalom, DH and maybe that Super-D thing if it ever comes to Australia (which it won't). And has anyone here who is NOT from North America used the online mail-order sites with success (such as pricepoint, jensonusa etc)?

For DH I would really consider getting the XT´s but if it is only for light DH and jumping the CPS is good enough.

I have a dual bike with V´s. You have no idea what XTR V´s, good pads and ceramic rims do.

actually i've ridden XTR V's on ceramic rims, and yes they have much more raw power than any other brake except magura hydro rim brakes. but when rims get damaged or wet or cold discs are consistent, which is why I want a set. yes yes and they look cool.

You will be way happier I have them on my Bulllit 8" front 6" rear but going to change soon ,New Bullit :wink: Gravity you should try www.cambriabike.com they do international and I have bought stuff from them and had no problems

Servus!

For the money you will lay out for the XT's, I would buy MAGURA Gustavs. Not anywhere as fiddly when it comes to maitenance and the Gustavs are proven bombproof for downhill, freeride, etc. They even make a LARGE front rotor for those of you who go to the top of the run using the chair lift.

Hopefully, Magura will send me free stuff for the free advert.:wink:
