SamKidney Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 Hi all, To get to the point I'm fed up of buying new lever bodys for my Hs33 and have been looking at the Echo SL as a replacement after my last maggie breakage. Its not the performance I'm after but the CNC construction is definatley appealing, (I ride TGS and I bail frequently) I love how they look and think I would benefit form its overall stronger construction. Does anyone know of any flaws in this brake The 2010 model Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Gibbs Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 From what i've heard you would be advised to strip the lever and clean it through as it has sometimes been known for swarf to be left in the lever causing them to leak and knacker the seals.

Mark W Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 That was mainly on the older levers - the 2010 ones seem to be fine for that sort of thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamKidney Posted November 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 So theres no leaking issues then? If anyone uses the Echo Slaves are they any good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 Out of the ones we've sold, we haven't had any e-mails/calls from people complaining about them. A few went to Japan (I think), Danny Mac (namedrop!) had one of them and Ali had one too. I know Ali's not used his for a while as he's on a fully standard Hex build at the moment, so again, couldn't really say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Vandart Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 RB levers are pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 They felt nice, but I don't know anyone who had one that didn't leak substantially... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 (edited) I've been running two SL brakes for almost half a year now and their performance is great. They feel completely different to Maguras, the lever feedback is a bit like in a disc brake. Mine also survived a stack after which I'm pretty sure a Maggie lever body would just break in half. So despite looking very delicate and small (they're a lot smaller than they look in the pics), they're actually a solid product. edit: this is for the new SL brake with Ti bolts and a red TPA.

J.KYDD Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 Joe Seddon (onza team rider) is running one on his new proto stock and really likes it. Having played around on his bike for a good while yesterday i can say i definitely say i like the feel of it. Also like the positioning of the TPA - it can be adjusted 'on the fly' which is nice.
