Skilled trials Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 I work at halfords and most people are pretty pleased with them. Just the leavers arnt to comphy. But other wise they are pretty powerful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex@Flawless Bikes Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 The bike hut brakes are surprising good and totally worth it. A mate had the hydraulic one and it was really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadManMike Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 If they are the same as the Tektro ones then yeah they're brilliant.I've had a Tektro on the front of my DMR for almost two years - not had to bleed it or adjust it, it's the best brake I've ever used (Having had Hope M4, Juicy 5, Magura...)

Mtchell Posted December 25, 2009 Report Share Posted December 25, 2009 I,ve got a front one mate there pretty good, thing is you can't seem to buy parts for them, but most hope parts fit (with abit of slight modding ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julius Czar Posted December 25, 2009 Report Share Posted December 25, 2009 I,ve got a front one mate there pretty good, thing is you can't seem to buy parts for them, but most hope parts fit (with abit of slight modding ) At that price though, you could just buy a new one One of my mates has one on his jump bike, and its really powerful, so I reckon it would be good for trials use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mtchell Posted December 26, 2009 Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 (edited) At that price though, you could just buy a new one One of my mates has one on his jump bike, and its really powerful, so I reckon it would be good for trials use Yer but for sake of a £3 bolt compared to may be £30/40 for new brake just be silly to buy a new brake would'nt it Edited December 26, 2009 by Mtchell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
