I’m after some hydraulic disc brakes for my cheapo Inbred SS, i’m aiming around the £50-75 mark. It currently has Tektro Auriga Comp fitted, their stopping power is good enough but I just feel like I want some better brakes, better feel and nicer levers for 1 finger braking.
I have Formula RX on my other bike and they’re great.
I hear great things about Shimano brakes but there’s just so many to choose from and I know nothing about the numbers (486, 575 etc).
I’ve seen some Hayes Strokers going for alright prices on eBay but again I know nothing about them either.
And then there’s Avid, which seem to come on every other bike out of the factory but I only ever hear bad things about. And for that reason I assume that every set of Avid I see on eBay will be a problem pair that someone has had enough of.
So, I’m going to keep an eye on the classified and eBay but has anyone got any opinions they want to share?
