now all i need is a brake any recommendations on one??? come on guys whats the best street/dj urban hydraulic rear brake.

pics to come

Avids. You could go hydraulic. But, mechanical, like the BB7s or BB5s, would be cheaper, lighter, and work very well for street/dj.

 

[opjones]

Cru, why do you say Hydro's? Just curoius is all, I like the simplicity of Mech. and if something does go wrong, the ease of fixing it.

And I agree on the BB7's, BB5's if you don't want to spend the extra couple dollars. But I think it's worth the couple extra dollars for the 7's.

He was asking about hydros, so I said that would be fine. But, I like the simplicity and lighter weight of mechs, as well.

Hydros would work better (i.e. less hand strength to lock up the brakes), but I don't think it's necessary for street/dj.

Gotcha, I should have fully read his before replying to yours.

I agree

right on cru thanks but see i need the stronger brake with less pull on the lever. i cracked my shoulder blade three seasons in a row dh racing years ago. and well being the stubborn italian i am i didnt really let it fully heal so i have pinched nerves in my arm from it so my hand doesnt work to well. even to the point i was thinking of runnning my brakes moto as my left hand is stronger than my right..

was originally thinking formula k24's. or the avid juicy something of that nature im looking for good modulation and something that cant take attemped barspin and $h!t...

 

[ServeEm]

Sounds like a killer build. What color is the top? I take it this is a 26" build. Need some pics when she's built.

No offence to anyone that's done it or to you AN6, but dammit when you post a thread before the build keeping us on edge =)

 

[ebrider510]

try out a juicy 5. they seriously are some sick brakes, great power and modulation with very little effort to pull the lever.

Word, that's crazy. Yeah, I've heard a lot of good things about Avid Juicy's. I would just stay away from Hayes.

 

[fiddy_ryder]

ill sell you my juicy 7 for $80 with adapters and a 6" rotor. ready to go recently bled and the hose is long enough for bar spins.

 

[snaky69]

Actually cru, hydros are lighter, this has been debated many times.

 

[AN6 Freerider]

color is raw. on the frame. so everything is either raw black polished or white to offset the white fork...hmmm. yeah was lookin at the juicy 7 i like the modualtion control on it... how is the elvel reach can you make them pretty close to the bars. plus my bars are 22.2mm i htink

 

[grom-dom]

mechanicals are better ian! i prefer the simple hayes mx2 caliper, avid fr5 lever and a 140mm avid rotor. works perfect. dial it in and let it wear it in its soooooo grabby! ran the same caliper for THREE years. it is awesome

 

[fiddy_ryder]

an6. clear your pm's..

 

[AN6 Freerider]

cleared and thanks fiddy for the offer but i got the new version coming next week . got the hook up nasty styles from the ladies brother.. man if he would only do this more often for me... so now i just wait. the bike should be rolling this weekend and riden for the first time next week thank god.

 

[ServeEm]

damn I'm just getting red x's. ahh got it. man that's f'n clean. Those profiles are raw too, huh? sweet.

 

[AN6 Freerider]

alright we are almost there tonight she will be ready and done. cutting the steeerer tube tonight connecting the chain and making minor adjustments but all in all should be ridable tonight for a nice late night streeet sesh.

take a look

 

[AN6 Freerider]

everything is raw except the seat post,the headset,this current stem(will be switched to the nemisi project raw stem as soon as b 2 the rad gets one ready) and the pedals not sure what kind i am gettting was told they are sick so we will see tonight.. will ahve completed pics tom prob

 

[Stoked]

cool. i like the raw look on everything.

 

[Cru Jones]

Sweet! That's a dope ride you got going. Bring that bad boy up to da whoops. I'll be there probably tonight and tomorrow night.

 

[WestCoastHucker]

everything is raw except....

if your raw stuff is anything like mine, thanks to the coastal moisture in our air, your bike will be covered in rust in about 2 weeks. my bars are already orange/rust as hell after 2.5 weeks, i've even already had to sand them back down to the shine and it's almost time to do it again...

How close to the coast are you? I'm in the valley so I wasn't worried bout my raw bars but now you got my attention.

 

[AN6 Freerider]

in the sfv . **** didnt even think of this until now.. well we start a new trend. we rock the rust color.. pure rust. hahahaha.. well gonna have to get lots of sand paper ready then ... but hey finnally i can ride again.

 

[fiddy_ryder]

looks like ill be dropping my bars off at the chrome shop...

 

[manhattanprjkt83]

raw is the new white. dont kid yourselves. especially with sanjay on raw turners...

 

[opjones]

Idea with the raw material. Could you possibly spray it down with WD-40 and whipe it clean? Maybe do that once every couple of weeks. It may keep it sealed up enough not to start rusting, and still have the Raw look.

 

[snaky69]

Lookin' very nice!

 

[AN6 Freerider]

yeah i was told to just wipe it down with chainlube ever few weeks. . so we will see. but the steerer was cut,the bars as well. everything is looking clean as all hell. got some new pedals for it from expedo i think is how its spelled. thanks ken you rock. chain is on jst need to take it out and ride it.. big ups to kyle over at transition thanks guys,brad over at nemisis cant wait to ride the fork n the bars . just need that stem now lol. but really cant wait for the nem bike. lol thanks to ken from wellgo-expedo for the hookup on pedals. complete shots to come and riding shots as well.
