Brake upgrade, need help
Hi,
So while researching I found h ttps://www.bikeforums.net/mountain-biking/269622-mixing-calipers-rotors-disks-brands-ok.html topic and since it's 11 years old I decided to register and ask for help. I have Magura Louise 07 brakes and they are near the end of life. I'm thinking getting Magura MT2 htt ps://www.bike-components.de/en/Magura/MT2-Carbotecture-v-h-Set-Scheibenbremse-p51753/ and I'm wondering can I use them with my existing rotors? This is how my rotors look like h ttp://reviews.mtbr.com/files/2010/08/lou_front-720x540.jpg As you you can see my budget is very tight, but feel free to suggest some other, don't have to set can be just front one. Thank you |
Anyone?
Please help me |
I am not sure, but most calipers work with most rotors. They are fairly interchangeable, it is more about the mounts. I see Chain reaction cycles has the Magura MT2 on sale for less than the link you provided. They also have the magura Storm HC rotor on sale. I think you could get brakes and the rotor from them for under 75 euro. But I am not sure about the conversion, from US dollars.
I believe you could get the lower end Shimano even cheaper. They work fine and are reliable but don't have progressive feel. |
Yea, I also think they should work, but wanted to be sure since bike-components told me I need to upgrade to Storm HC 6 or SL.2 and I didn't told them what rotors I have and might just say that so I buy them too.
On CR it's $50 for one brake, while on BC it's 70euros for two, or I'm mistaken? Thank you for reply. Edit: There is also this mt5/mt4 set which is 100e maybe I should go for that, but then If they don't fit I'm ****ed h ttps://www.bike-components.de/en/Magura/MT5-MT4-Carbotecture-v-h-Set-Scheibenbremse-p50757/ |
