What is going on there??

Hi, Ming. I've been happy with the Hayes Nines but they took awhile to 'burn in'. They can stop on a dime now but it took a bit of adjusting to get them that way over 50 hours or so. Personally, I wouldn't mind having a set of the Avid mech's being discussed just so I didn't have to mess with the fluid. I've heard good things about the Deores, too. I'll try a couple of friends rides next time I'm out to see how their discs compare to the Nines.
