just wondering if anyone knows what a good set of hydrolic disc brakes are for a DJ bike???

[SydneyRider]

probably just some hayes nines as far as i know they seem cheap enough to buy and work really well if you bleed them right
(there the ones that come off the stock stp1)

[Tristan23]

Hayes HFX9
Hayes Mags
Avid BB5
Avid BB7
Avid Juicy 5
Avid Juicy Ultimate
Hope Mono
Hope Mini

etc.

[wkkie]

Hayes or shimano, either will be fine. Havent had any experience with any of the juicys, but im sure they would do the job too.

[meatlovers]

Juicy 5's are good and powerful.
I myself use Avid BB5's, and they are really strong and grabby, which I like.

[prestage]

ok he said good "hydraulic" disc brakes not mech as we all know bb5 and bb7 are mech brakes :p

[Callan.]

Anything shimano.

I have owned juicy 5, hayes 9 and shimano deore. Deore is by far the best, and its so cheap!

shimano xt 4pots

grimeca system 8

Wrong and wrong! XT 4pots suck as a street brake I ran one a while ago, way to much modulation, same with the grimeca, while they may be powerfull, they're wayyy to heavy and modulated to be a street brake; You can get a Saint and have more than enough power and still some good modulation for manuals ect, or if you're just a power freak a Hope mono trials.

I also wouldn't mind trying a setup like XTR caliper with Saint lever or something; Juicys are also quite nice, fairly on and off, but unreliable in passed experience...

is it because your a kool kid and find that brakes arent a neccessity, the kid wants brakes, and thats that, pfft brakeless fools, all you guys are doing is ruining your shoes from shoving it in the back or front:p

like skids, but without brakes. just turn sideways, lay the bike down, and drift.
