In the market for some new brakes, nothing boutique. Any bargains out there?
ideally want 180mm front 160mm rear 6 bolt set up.

I'd be looking at Rose Bike deals on Shimano-reputed for power and reliability. Nice short levers and lever feel is awesome. Bargain.
SLX
or XT if you are want to spend a little more.
You'll need to price in Rotors and adaptor, but still a great deal.
(Look at XC Racer shop for light and cheap rotors. Light Rotors )

Got some cheap Hayes from Merlin complete with rotors. I got an upgrade to bigger front disc
They are cheap because they are Euro sided and you need to swap the hoses and then bleedPosted 3 months ago # -

Merlin are doing Elixir 1's with 180/160 rotors for £84 at the moment when you add the 6% discount.

If anyone has done a direct SLX -v- XT test (666 v 785), I'd like to know the results as I can't decide between the two.
Sorry, end of thread hijack...

On one still have the Elixir 1s at £39.99 each. Comes with rotor and mount.
Some don't like Avids but Ive found them to be excellent.
