i think CRC was doing Hayes 9s for about the same price.

I would have thought these would be a better bet [url= http://www.bikeradar.com/gear/category/components/disc-brake-systems/product/s2-disc-brakes-09-34871 ]Clicky[/url]

I bought a set of those on ebay a few years back. They were branded as 'Armor' brakes. Nice lever, ok modulation, not very powerful. Still on my commuter. Some of the bolts have surface rust but the bike lives outside so that's no surprise.

[s]They were around that price. Not a bad deal really. [/s]

EDIT: they were around that price on ebay for a F&R set! The Halfords ones are a rip off!
EDIT2: OK must read OP... £90 is not so bad but there are better options out there.

I'd suggest avid bb7s (or whatever they're called this week) for that money. Aside from being cable actuated they work excellently

I'd be looking at the Avid 3's on CRC/Merlin, at least you've heard of them, so spare pads won't be an issue.

Magura Julies (old style) are £90 a set if I recall correctly, from Merlin.

The pads last forever, and they stop me perfectly happily, even when I was a 17 stone hunk of love riding round the peak district.

I just bought a clarkes S2 front disc from crc for £39 . Bargain £80 for a pair they seem excellent. [url= http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=47543 ]clickage[/url]

Isn't everyone in the world doing Avid Elixir 5's for £135 a pair?

Rubbish for £90, or excellent for £135.

on merlin site if you click on disc brakes, under avid clearance disc brakes there are some solid bargains. worth a look there, i'd say.

I'll sell you a barely used set of hayes 9's for £50, what size rotors are you after?

i'd spend another 20 quid on the juicy 3 offer from merlin & have reliable pad availability & back up etc...

they look quite similar to the funn brakes......

Same as [url= http://www.armorbrake-bike.com.tw/prdt.htm ]these[/url].

Same as these.

Are they a Deore 525 copy? Lever looks very similar.

Or XTs from Ribble (minus rotors) for £120.

bigyinn beat me to it!
