XC brakes

[Worp8d]

G'Day everyone.

I'm looking for some hydraulic disc brakes for my girlfriend's bike but I don't know anything about XC gear. Can anyone recommend a set? Price is a factor but I want to get an idea of what people think in general.

Cheers

hey,
what sort of cash are you looking at spending? Anything from the shimano range is good relable stuff easy to set up, bleed and generally maintain

Avid Juicy 5
Deore

avid bb7's. put these on my g/f bike and must say they stop as good as my juicy 7's but at a fraction of the price. only other catch is you ocasionaly have to replace the cables

I'd get the Shimano Deore, fairly light, good stopping power and easy to bleed.
