Sweet

 

they had them on an intense at sema, they looked real good but didnt feel as good as a set of hayes.

 

I didn't know brake fade was such a problem in the MTB world . Hopefully they aren't too heavy.

 

belive me my Hayes Dh9 or w/e there called are plenty good. i can be sitting down and leaning back and if i pull the front brake i can still noise wheelie. lol

Oh ya anyone have more pics of them on a bike?

 

you have a gmail account? Drop me an email at thePowderhound@gmail.com. I can get you a couple..I think. I'll search my mtb site right now.

I have hayes 6 inch mechanics on my bike. They are ok. But on my next bike...I'm upgrading the front.

As for the comment on brake fade. It's actually a really big problem on some down hill courses. Before discs were popular I ran the kamakaize downhill and damn near killed myself cause I baked my pads.

Personally...for the average and even most of the above average riders, the brembos are over kill. Price estimates are $1000 state side. They are directed at folks that race, race teams, and those guys that have a car for every occassion and doesn't use em'.

 

I think they'll be good...but overpriced. 1st gen Shimano discs are SWEET...I don't like Hayes at all (I've had 4 friend who've had them and ALL 4 need to rebleed them all the time...and no, they're aren't retards, they all are mechanics at great bike shops...it's the brake's fault). The Shimanos I have are super low maintainence, easily modulated (because of the two diameters of pistons), and never fade even on the Karpiel trail up at Northstar.

 

i had some 6" hayes on my old bike and i had then on there for 3 years going to Northstar and riding all the Dh trails there i never had to replace the pads and only had to rebleed once. Now i havea full on Dh bike with 8" hayes and they are frieken awsome.

 

I'll stick with my trusty Hopes thank you very much...I'm not ready to pay that kind of $$ for MTB brakes just yet!

 

heres some pics i took at SEMA

 

hell yeah. I had those on my redline back in the day...the sickness.
