DannyBazz (: Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 Right. Everyones always slagging echo brakes off there actually beast.Only reason they leak is because some retards dont clean the system out BEFORE using it. there are still metal filings in the system because Mr. Deng cba cleaning them out.For ultimate performance, echo tr lever, magura hose and pistons. Might mean a lot of messing about with hose etc. but it's well worth it.dannyxxxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 Personally I'd choose a Maggie with an Echo SL or Echo CNC '08 lever blade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoots man Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 i use echo tr lever and magura pistons with braided hose. very good but lock tight the pad adjuster because it tends to re-adjust its self. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King C Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 The increase in price is down to manufacturing processes. CNCing costs a hell of a lot more than casting does. As far as I know, the bore sizes etc are the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Moss Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 Why spend more money when the magura is cheaper and even if the echo brake has a better performance the magura is still good enough. personaly i wouldnt get an echo one because off what ive heard.

sayshell Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 I finally switched to echo this year. One thing that stops the leaking is make sure the barb fittings are really tight in the caliper. I have only had it a month but its lighter than my magura by about 35 grams and feels 100% exactly the same, so I guess its better.(keep in mind this is a review of the sl not the tr)when I owned a tr I switched back to magura in a day. The echo tr lever is no good, it makes your brake super spongy and in my opinion and probably weighs more than a regular hs-33. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
