mikey Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 hi everyone i'm starting to rebuild my saracen xcell and so i want to replace the front brake for a hydraulic brake it only going to be used for every day use and for the brake iv only got about £70 to spend and you can get the clim8 6 pot on ebay for £65 so i was wondering what your opions are on this brake or is there a better brake for around £70 any help will be apprecaited. Thanks mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamtrials Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 (edited) Im getting one this morning, ill let you know what its like Although im probably going to sell it as i need a back brake and i bought a front one From what ive heard they work nicely, although can be a bit of a fiddle to set up.Your probably not going to find a better new brake for £70.Add me to msn if you want to know more, makes things easier.

adamtrials Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 It depends what version you had, i believe some are better than others.I know about 5 people with them and noone has had problems with performance/adjustment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willwithashton Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 Save up another tenner and get a magura julie. They are awsome brakes. Ive had one on the front of my trials bike for 6 months and used it for a little freeride before that and they qork really well, even in the wet. Also they bed in quicker than other brakes and adjust themselves really quickly. My mate used to prefer them on my bike than his own hayes hfx nines on his.
