trialskidy Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 (edited) I am after a extremely cheap front disk brake, is this brake any good for trials ? http://www.chainreac...x?ModelID=52831 Edited October 23, 2012 by trialskidy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LEON Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 (edited) I've got one on my 24" and yes, it's a lot better than it should be. You won't be doing 10ft front wheel drop gaps but I weigh 14 & a half stone & it has no problem with me, even with a 180 rotor. Much better than a brand new echo disc I tried (piece of shit) Edited October 23, 2012 by LEON Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greetings Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 I did some research on this forum and many people said that the M596 was the cheap disc brake to buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 The above lever on an echo tr caliper is awesome. As for discs try bagging a 2nd hand hope or something if I were you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williams Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 (edited) I know that many underestimate shimanos brakes, which you shouldn't! They're actually pretty good, so yeah those brakes are worth the money! Edited October 23, 2012 by williams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
