Question

With a max price for both brakes of about £100 what hydraulic brakes should I get for my mountain bike?

Answer 1

Answer 2

disk brake's all the way baby!

Answer 3

Hayes Sole hydraulic brakes are great.

Answer 4

go to chainreactioncycles.com and get a pair of xtr v brakes with the paralellogram. awesome brakes as they keep the pads level all the time. the website is cheaper than most other places, and i've spent hundreds on there building my own bikes so i can vouch for it being genuine

Answer 5

I would go to Chain Reaction Cycles and get the shimano deore hydrolic disks, i have the older M555s and they have lasted me years! the best modulation out of any brakes iv felt and decent stopping power (can endo with 1 finger), these brakes are just as good. Shimano make high quality parts and their brakes are no exception, and there only £80 for the set. the only downside is that they are a little heavier than other disk brakes but i feel that that isnt much of a problem as its only a few grams. Also the stock disks are great, no warping or bending etc but once again they are a little heavier but you can always buy some other disks once you have more money.
