So brakes now. I've been using the same brakes since 02-03... needless to say they have been very good to me... Original Avid Mechanical Disk.
Hydros have been on my upgrade list for a long time but I haven't been able to justify them cuz the Avids have been fine.
I'm trying to stay on a budget so I probably wont be going with anything super fancy. But I'm looking at different offerings from Hayes & Magura.
Good deals out there on the Hayes HFX 9 & El Camino and some ok deals on the Magura Julie.
Any thoughts/Suggestions?
P.S.I ride techy trails and race XC, I weigh about 170 am not a DHer. i.e. they don't need to be able to stop a rhino on a dime but I don't want to feel like I'm lacking power when I do want to stop fast either.
