clerictgm Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 http://www.bikeradar.com/mtb/fitness/article/how-we-test-hydraulic-disc-brakes-24345/ This review said that there are no difference between power of shimano deore and saint brakes. How true is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostrider88 Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 (edited) It´s not,if you read full review of saints, you would understand why they did so poorly on the dyno. Edited January 4, 2013 by ghostrider88 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FamilyBiker Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 deore is pretty strong,enough for me (92kgs,"to front junkie") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostrider88 Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 (edited) Yes deore is very powerful for brake this small/light/cheap but saint is still more powerful. If you ask wheter difference in power is worth twice the price of deore, I would say no. Edited January 4, 2013 by ghostrider88 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bing Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 no comparison. my saints are better than any brake I've ever had. ask echo lite 09 if you don't believe it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Dark Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 Quite strange results from that dyno test... the MT8 seemed to fair pretty poorly compared to its lower priced stable mates the same as the elixir range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamKidney Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 no comparison. my saints are better than any brake I've ever had. ask echo lite 09 if you don't believe it I can vouch for the fact they are bloody fantastic. I was super surprised by them when I tried them on Bings setup. Miles better feeling and performing than any hope Ive used. I still prefer rim brakes mind, but solely because I love my sidehops and I destroy discs. And like loud brakes..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashanddash19 Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 Bings saints are the best feeling brakes I've felt bar none Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azarathal Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 Rode Williams' bike today in Portsmouth and I can tell you saints live up to their rep. I thought my hope was powerful but it's like riding into a brick wall. I'd say it's better than a 183 bb7 on the front of a mod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
