monty221ti Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 hi there. Thinking of getting a echo 2011 stock as a second bike next to my mod, and i was wondering what brakes i should have on it, i have the options of, echo sl, echo tr and magura hs33 both the new one and the old one. and im also thinking of getting a new helmet, i am currently riding with a mango x-ride, but before that i was using a met terra, that i really liked and i am thinking of getting one again, but is there some other similar vented helmet thats good?

monty221ti Posted May 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 i cant mix the brakes. can i put water in them all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azarathal Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 Buy the slaves and levers separately? I'm sure you could get someone to sell you that exact set up secondhand. You can bleed them fine with water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex-Geo Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 echo SL is a great choice but its a bit pricey, so i have got the new 2011 magura hs33 and it works great. And i prefer water over oil in brakes, but make sure to add something to stop it freezing,(i used a bit of vodka ) its bound not to freeze as its coming up to the summer, but its always nice to be prepared.

monty221ti Posted May 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 if i buy a stock i am getting a brand new bike, but maybe the echo tr brakes are just fine? what helmet could you reccomend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azarathal Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 Echo TR's as a whole brake are fine too. Not sure about helmets but a lot of people recommend the Giro Hex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monty221ti Posted May 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 i think i am going for either the echo tr's or the hs33's both front and back. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyczek Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 Buy magura, echo sucks and on wather you need to change gasket in lever often. Buy brand new hs 33 4F. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had an echo TR lever with no problems for almost a year, I've never heard of anyone with this problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
