Thinking about getting some of the latest versions from Rose bikes,
Anyone using them ? What are they like?
Cheers
Have the MK1's. Awesome brakes.
i had hayes stroker rydes on my cube, got fed up with the constant rubbing so bought some slx m665 ones, big improvement.
nice solid feel, a bit more power, but most importantly, no rubbing.
(using same discs btw)
I've got 3 pairs (mk 1) between me and missus. Highly recommended. Only problem - one sprung a leak at the caliper seal. £25 for a replacement caliper. Still happy. Overall: squeal free, rub free and most important of all (for me): faff free.
Thanks guys , anyone using the latest version?
@ couldashouldawoulda where did you get replacement calipers for £25 ?
Got some from Rose 4 months back - BUY THEM!
need I say more?
I've been using the latest ones for a few months now and I really couldn't see why you'd need to spend any more on disc brakes. They're fantastic. Highly recommended.

Edinburgh bicycle co-op.
I though my brakes were good till I had a shot of my mates bike with the new slx on. The power they have is staggering, I want some!
Got the 2012 SLXs from Rose 3 month ago. Im still impressed by them every time I go out, great stopping power and a lovely feel and modulation.
Thanks guys think I'll be clicking the buy button then .
