Mechanical disc brakes and hub
HI
What mechanical disc brakes do You recommend ? For price up to about 60$ per rotor and adapter. I'm considering Deore mechanical disc brake 515. What do You think about it ? I'd like to ask , what rear hub for disc brakes do You recoomend for price up to 50 $ I was considering Deore 525 hub, but I've read , that it's not working to well, and it's not to strong. Please help ! Peter -- E-mail: tel. +48 504 289266 |

XT hubs are overbuilt (read: heavy); but bombproof. -Barry |

What do You think about it ? I think that it sucks. I'll qualify that and say that they're better than V's when they work and are adjusted correctly - and some of the problems that I've had are just general disc problems rather than Deore-specific problems. But I'm not happy with the performance and continual adjusting that they need. And I've become a virtual mech-disc-adjustment-Master with the amount of time I've spent with mine. I haven't had much to compare it with, but I'm _still_ not happy with mine. FWIW, I'm _still_ going to upgrade to Hope Mini's when I get the spare funds. If you can wait and save some more cash I think that hydraulic would be worthwhile and more satisfying if you're going to get discs. -- Westie |

But I'm not happy with the performance and continual adjusting that they need. And I've become a virtual mech-disc-adjustment-Master with the amount of time I've spent with mine. Wow. Sorry to hear about that. Even my cheapie Cyclone front disc brake caliper was low-maintenance - until an adjuster screw popped out while riding, rendering the caliper useless. Doh! The bike manufacturer (Van Dessel Sports) apologized, said they'd been having problems with the Cyclone calipers, and replaced the Cyclone with an Avid CPS disc brake under warranty. Van Dessel takes very good care of their customers. So far, the Avid CPS mechanical discs have been completely "set and forget" on both of my disc-equipped bikes. Setup is a breeze, with loads of adjustment for less-than-perfectly-aligned I.S. caliper mounts. When you consider that mail-order shops sell the Avid's for about $75/wheel, the choice is obvious. I haven't had much to compare it with, but I'm _still_ not happy with mine. FWIW, I'm _still_ going to upgrade to Hope Mini's when I get the spare funds. If you can wait and save some more cash I think that hydraulic would be worthwhile and more satisfying if you're going to get discs. Hope Mini's look like a great choice for hydro discs. (Shaun sure likes his.) But for $75/wheel, Avid CPS mechanicals are an unbeatable deal. They've won near-universal acclaim, and several "Best in Class" awards. They're just great brakes for the money. -Barry |

XT hubs are overbuilt (read: heavy); but bombproof. More bull**** from the minister of misinformation. Try a google search on XT hubs and broken in this newsgroup. ****mano freehubs suck ass and are FAR from bombproof as our resident KMart Blue Light Speccial shopper says they are. JD |
