joey 94 Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 echo cnc or magura rim brakes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhazedRezza Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Magura are the standard. It's old and it works.Echo CNC brakes are basically the same caliper (no crap about it being a cylinder, the cylinder is only one part of the caliper), except the lever assembly is CNC (Computer Numerically Controlled) machined from solid billit, and not cast.Echo brakes look NICER.!!!Any More info. just ask.I am a CNC Machinist myself.

grant_hundley Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Last years echo's leaked.. Don't know about this years though..The echo's will be stronger too.Maggies are made out of shite metal and are cast, so are pretty weak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hallett Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 stick with what works best. Magura hs-33s are the best in my opinion. they do the job perfectly! and if in any doubt then nothin a fresh grind, new pads and metal backings cant sort out. ideal set up if u ask me x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidehop Stuart Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 Aslong as they work, they are both good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mtchell Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 As people have said mate maguras are weak!!I,ve not blown any pipes yet , but have snapped 2 levers and 2 leaked ,I,ve replaced them now and seem to running ok , Echo's do look smarter ,But i,ve never used them as of yet, Maguras are a well established brake making company thats the reason why i,m sticking with them,Like many questions on T.F its down to your own preference....

Connor Powell Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 Both have there strengths and weaknesses i guess,Echo brakes have smaller slaves which means you wont clip your ankles, But you may not be able to use your pads to there full extent as you wont be able to push the slaves in further. Magura have bigger slaves so you may catch your ankles more but you can use your pads to there full extent. Theres not really much point in paying more money for the echo brake is just a gloryfied magura. Also the echo brakes used to leak with a water bleed, And some people said stuff about the metal being eaten and stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
