Brakes? Brakes? Anybody?
« on: October 28, 2010, 11:50:42 PM »
So my Hayes 9's are at the end of their days and weren't too hot to begin with. Anybody interested in getting rid of a decent set of hydraulics?

To be put on my Trance, so I'm hoping in the 140-160mm rotor range.

203mm or no ballz.

140mm, though, and you are risking heat problems on any kind of real descent.

True, although as primarily an XC rider I'm not doing anything too gnarly. I've been thinking 160mm F&R or possibly 180mm front.

I am looking at getting the anthem, and will be parting it out to build it differently. I will have a set of new xt brakes. I'll talk to you today.
