mad-dog Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 Have had loads of different brakes and found the new 2011 hs33 to be the best one IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamKidney Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 I think I'll be splashing out on an Echo TR Lever unit this year if my SL leverbody dies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with this 100%, I was lucky enough to find a brand new Raceline last year in my local shop, was so chuffed. As with most things these days, companies are trying to make more of a profit. They up the prices and lower the quality. Edit: Speeling. Edited October 15, 2012 by Luke Dunstan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new lever has a bleed port also (otherwise how could we bleed the brake ?) ... Done a bath-bleed several times now, works well.. Overall, it is spongy and i have to bleed it about every other month.. Hope that they'll come up with something awesome and bring out an updated model or something..

dk2 Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 Put on a 2004 lever now, works so great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giantwhore Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 2011 HS33 seems good to me. Don't know why people are moaning about about flex.......mine seems spot on without a booster. Next to no flex at all and bucket loads of power. Maybe people need to learn how to properly bleed and set up brakes before they start knocking the product Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azarathal Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 The radix has a built in booster though chris. I hated mine, flexy, leaky etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamKidney Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 If I were to get one, I'd definately be buying a booster along with it. My bro's Hs11 feels sweet too, but his Limey has a buit in booster of sorts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're in the minority that likes them, so not exactly an improvement over the 98 & 05. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamKidney Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 The 05's were my favorite. They would sell sooooo many if they re-released them, with slight alterations to the design. Pref CNC'd and with no pointy corner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
