Ali C Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 at my shop I have built a few bikes with hayes cable disks, they might not be the same as yours but I am pretty impressed with them, straight out of the box they are pretty powerful.

Impacted. Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 I have some on my XC frame, hayes mx-3 or something anyway yeah they're great, best mechanical disk brake i've used EVER. Nice and sharp if you set them up correctly and they're properly bedded in and lots of hold and I only had a 160 rotor. 'neway take a look at what it did to my XC frame... :P (TWICE! as in two different frames aswell :S ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houseface Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 never run one but i'd say it would do because of the size of the disc. steve :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urpedigreechumdog Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 never run one but i'd say it would do because of the size of the disc. What is that mean to say? I'd say go for it but get some funky forks to go with it too. I'm running a 203 Avid with EBC reds and it's the tits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trials Punk Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 I have two, on my freeride norco type rig, 203mm rotors. Straight out out of the box their amazing. Really powerfull. When I got back on my trials bike I didn't feel safe anymore. Especially without a front brake still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
