Can you give any alternatives, other than the multiple cheaper options/suggestions already given?
What is your problem with my answer? Did you read all of it? The OP stated his friend wasn't satisfied with the current Promax brakes and wanted to know if fitting hydraulic brakes was a practical option. Several posters pointed out it would be a very expensive change and probably impractical. I offered a mechanical alternative that was cost effective and, in my experience, offered good performance.
