Jamie_Trials Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 Chain reaction - Brake there, cheaper and in stock. If I were you I'd go for the avid sd7 lever. Cheap, strong and comfy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Burrows Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 The performance difference between 203 and 185 isn't that big, how well it is set-up can make a much bigger difference! What forks have you got? Some forks will need a different adaptor or rotor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan6061 Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 Get a linear slic cable, and a Shimano XTR lever, and it'll be amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Burrows Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 Not sure what forks they are but thats a standard disc mount. So any of the BB7 brakes should just bolt on without needing a different adaptor or rotor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
