cjdeals Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 Hayes cables are rubbish, if you want to run a cable disk use an avid bb7. i run the 185mm rotor and my friend runs the 205mm. they work really good! but i recommend using ebc red pads.

Nick Manning Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 I would have said that Hayes MX2 cable disc's would be crap, but i am currently running one with an Avid lever and its insane, it's only a 160mm rotor, but it is flipping powerful.

_Owen. Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 keep away from hayes brakes, miles away! IMO even the hydrollic ones are crappy! i would personally go for a bike hut one, i think they are £60, hydro, and rulee!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
