Sucram Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 hi would a hayes sole xc brake be good for trials riding as it seems very cheap for a hydraulic disk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wright Pads Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 Yep Hayes are good! Spoons loves them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicH_87 Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 funny you should ask,...i have one lying about which i plan to use on my mod, they have a fairly long lever pull and not much bite on my xc bike, but i'll try it anyway and let you know.

Wright Pads Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 Might help if you adjust it! There is a allen key screw on the inner leaver! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huge Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 Hayes sole are one piston/pot similair to most cable operated discs. You can adjust the distance you have to move the lever before you stop by turning the 5mm allen keys behind each pad. I have them on my xc bike and once I moved the pads quite close in they began to slow me down well, but Im not too sure if they have the lock needed for trials use.

Tomm Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 They are pretty basic, and I don't expect they're great. Plus I don't know if anyone runs one for trials, so you won't really get any opinions. Unless they're a lot cheaper than BB7s, I wouldn't risk it.

RicH_87 Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 k i said i'd reply with what i thought, just to wrap the topic up i guess...i've got a hayes so1e with a 160mm rotor on my mod at the moment.i think it's pretty good to be honest. its certainly not got the bite of a bb7, louise or a juicy seven, or the quality *cough* of the hope's but it's perfect for what i want.it's got a nice feel to it, just enough grab it's definitely more modulation orientated, some people would say weak but i prefer to have some distance between 'on' and 'off'.i've only ridden it on rocks so far but it seemed decent enough, it didn't slip, and more importantly i didn't get arm pump over the space of 2 hours...anyway yeh, i thought i'd post that for if someone searches and finds this topic.i'm not sure what they are new, but if you are after a hydraulic disc on the cheap, then this is certainly an option as far as i'm concerned.
