Hi, I’ve been asking a lot of questions recently, but the input has been great, so here goes:
What hydraulic disc brakes would the hive mind recommend that have the smallest/neatest caliper bodies?
Reason I ask is I need new brakes for the flat bar roadrat with 160mm discs. The old magura julie’s slowly eroded away then a crash also smashed a lever. Finito.
No probs, I have a spare pair of BB7s off the fat bike, they’ll be perfect. Nope – caliper body is too wide and pings off the spokes.
Bugger, erm, got an old working pair of hayes strokers. Nope – caliper body too tall and it interfers with the mount adapter so I can’t mount the bolts properly.
Gnnnnnnrrrrfffckkkk ing bloody bike!
Any tips? save my sanity please!
I need to get another pair of Julie’s, don’t I? Can one still buy them?
