mat hudson Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 get the 8inch hayes, they're good. it'll just be the shitty cable and lever his comuter has that makes it feel crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CurtisRider Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 get the 8inch hayes, they're good. it'll just be the shitty cable and lever his comuter has that makes it feel crap.yup, they arent all that bad in all fairness, with a decent cable and lever setup like mat said, they certainly will stop you well, however, for an extra few quids, the avid bb7 really doesnt make the hayes an option...since bb7s are THE tits and you wont need such a huge ass rotor to get decent power, a 185 is all you will ever need if the hayes is uber cheap, then go for it, otherwise just get a bb7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
