[The Kadvang]

Sweet.

Sheet ..i thougth you where talking about El Camino cars.

I really like one, there very good to put your bike in the trunk. Today i saw a few of those.

But on a sidnote, those brakes are looking nice. I already saw a picture and story about it in a bikemagazine.

 

[narlus]

finally hayes make some refinements. looks very good. i am digging the tools-free reach adjustment feature. plus, i wonder what the power adjust dial does?

 

[zedro]

plus, i wonder what the power adjust dial does?

it moves the levers pivot point to control the modulation

 

[DoubleDown]

I like the Marzocchi logo...

yeah. thats what i thought it was at first.

HUGE props to Hayes for adressing many of the wants that I know riders have with brakes. Personally, I am really psyched on this product.

yeah, the intro splash screen was kinda funny...."the riders asked, the pros demanded..."...yeah, like 4 years ago!

 

[ChrisRobin]

Oooooh...very cool!!!

The levers looks fairly 'tree' friendly.

Same here, I was checking the web-addy, I thought it was a marzocchi page at first...

Seriously, they don't seem to have done anything that Hope or Avid hasn't, not sure what the big deal is. Refinement of the standard hayes is nice, but the "features" of the el-camino don't seem to be overwhelming compared to a hope Mini-mono or avid juicy 7...

well what do you want, ABS? cant we be happy our favorite brand has stepped up?

I suppose. I use the run-of-the-mill-bland-like-a-ford-sable hayes brakes on both of my bikes.

I need money for hopes.

 

[Slacker]

lookin good....

Hell yes!

This will be the Hope killer :evil: :dancing:

 

[Brian HCM#1]

Whatever

You're going down :nuts:

Long live the El Camino :love: :love: :love:

 

[zedro]

Whatever

uhh, well, whatever your whatever

i think if there was quantifiable proof that they were better than the Hopes, Brian would off himself with a Dot 5.1 tequila mixer....

 

[syadasti]

As a Hope Mono user (2 minis, 1-4, and 1-6), I look forward to upgrading to Hayes El Camino.

I would take Avid Juicy's, Hayes HFX Plus, Magura Gustav, or Magura Louise FR brakes before the mono series if I had to buy again - my monos look good but are weak...

Don't believe the Hope hype

 

[Acadian]

I would perfer a nice set of Juicy's.

 

[ChrisRobin]

Speaking of price....is there any info on that anywhere?

 

[Jeremy R]

They had me at rotating banjo.

 

[Brian HCM#1]

Mono caliper body, rotating banjo fitting. I know I heard about another company doing that last year, just can't remember who though.

 

[Brian HCM#1]

Oh yeah and cut up rotors...................Hmmmmmmmmmm its on the tip of my tounge just can't remember. Damn it!!!!!!!!

:eviltongu :eviltongu :eviltongu

Nice pics, good to see proof that you don't actually ride your bikes. They have no dirt, anywhere, not even a spot of grease? Must be expensive wall art.

They don't see any dirt, it's all about curb drops my friend....Curb drops

When did Marzocchi start making disc brakes?

do i detect someone getting defensive? I'm gonna look at every part of your bike, and make sure everything those brands did were the first.....like say for example, post mount adaptors....

...oh, and maybe Hayes just waited one more year to get it right instead...

 

[Zark]

Ahh yeah! Hayes delivers the goods!
They look refined, functional and pretty burly.
It sounds like they took people's criticisms and did something about it.
I bet the price is sub-Hope price.

Hayes has a reputation for reliability. If they don't dissappoint they will sell a truckload of 'em.

Yeah, the 'zocchi looking Hayes logo is a little funny, but 'zocchi took the look from Metallica's logo neaky:

I'm just having fun, as they say imitation is the sincerest way of flattery

 

[punkassean]

Marzocchi/Metallica-esque logo = Cheesy

Sweet ass new brake design that won't either smash my fingers or give me arm pump

Methinks these are like the Juicy's (which I kinda wanted until I learned they have a couple minor design shortcomings) except more thoroughly thought out. I really like the "hidden" reservoir, very sneaky! I fear some of you might underestimate the sneakiness
