long story short the Mrs is away for a girls weekend, so she asked what I was up to and told her I was looking at bits for my bike and the reply came to "just buy something"
the suggestion of a Bird Aeris didnt go down too well but I need new brakes, upto £60 an end for my hard tail. General use with no mental downhill shenanigans.
Enlighten me Oh STW !!
Shimano SLX. Simple.
Cheers for the reply, I was going to say SLX as it does seem to be the go to breaks without breaking the bank.
Also vouch for SLX, infact pop me an email chap.. Might just be able to sort you out!
Sent you an email peatybike!
buy the bike ya pussy lol
Then I'd get none.....
under the thumb I see. buy the bike, divorce the wife for withholding sex and enjoy life better.
Fair point!
Don't know how much of a life I'd get paying for 4 kids though.....
Shimano brakes are good and a good price. Although after 2 years being trouble free my XTs are becoming a really PITA and need servicing all the time (our experience with Zees hasn't been good). But for <£75 Shimano seems to be the go to brake. We've got Guides (RSC & R) on two bikes and they seem pretty good but cost more.
