Ali C Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 lever looks cheap, but if it works it could be awesome....doubt it will drag me off vees though, but it should be an improvment over cast maggies.Also, the name Zhi comes to mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonCongreve Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 Wow....good to see another manufacturer trying hydraulic brakes. They look very similar in design to maguras though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixed Pants™ Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 (edited) Jon - they are maguras , i'm surprised Magura haven't put some sort of stop to the production of these as they're basically the same, even down the the plastic washers.Any ideas on price?Looks nice though.

Mat Smith! Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 Do they come in 5 colours and 500000 different brands? :D yeeeeeey.Mat....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medwaytrials Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 I like the look of it, he can only have improved it if its released. Looks like front levers are the same as back levers, like avid sd levers if you catch my drift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Smith Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 They look a lot better quality than the maguras! they are probably cnc'd from billet rather than cast! lever looks a bit gash though!interesting!ash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ash-Kennard Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 look lush, i will be purchasing a rear one as i hate the quality maggies are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixed Pants™ Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 (edited) It looks like you're going to be able to adjust the closeness of each brake (see pic, there's an allen key bolt in the side of the cylinders), also, the pin looks a tad longer than Maguras - Easier to snap? Or stronger? Edited December 29, 2006 by Fat Pants Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavyn. Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 It looks cool, will you be getting to test them Ben. They look crap but you can tell they'll be cnc'ed to the max so they'll look better also looks like you could use a hope lever blade with them which is cool.If the prices are competitive with magura then i'll be getting one.

Robwalker Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 Personally im not liking the look of these. Until there is any real information brought out on them, what type of metal how its made weight ect, i cant see any advantage over maguras. My guess is tonnes of problems before they come to a half decent standard, and that'll take a good two years to rectify. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Kearns Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 I think he should make some in race line yellow, Like the 04 models were, Well i would like him to anyway.Dan.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMunn Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 Looking good, is this the last part to the complete deng-cycle? Smaller companies will probly not bother in the future maybe? Or will stuff like this make them work harder to produce stuff a little different to what he has to offer? Meh...I'll probly buy some Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mat Smith! Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 He's still got to make the braided hosing to go with it, in different colours Mat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 Is it definitely an Echo brake?I've seen that brake on a ZHI bike before, and the file name is 'zhifkkq5.jpg'... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walleee Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 hardly a good idea to bring out a lever which won't accomodate his CNC lever blades?Im not sure it's echo either... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 Seen these a good month ago but from a different angle. They look very nasty and cheap.They're very similar to the Maguras (needless to say it's hard to make a hydro rim brake that won't be), hope Deng doesn't have any problems with Magura as he had with Mr. Coustellier after releasing the Pitbull in 2004.

Brian Bleech Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 he (deng, zhi or whoever the hell it is) must have licensed the design from magura or I smell on lawyers on the horizon...or maybe maguras patent has ran out, which could be very interesting indeed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
