Hmm let's see.
  • Easier to fix in the boonies
  • Cheaper to buy
  • Cheaper to fix
  • You can get levers, cables, housing at any Mom and Pop shop. Even if they only sell Comfort bikes and Beach cruisers. Try that with hydros
  • No toxic fluid to spill or leak
  • Never have to bleed them (though that's not that big a deal)
  • Has adequate power for 98% of the riders on this Forum
Not bad for a short list. On a side note Hayes Hydraulics smoke Hopes, thought you should know.

so what about the avid quad qmd 5?? will they withstand dirt jumping/urban/light shore riding? i dont wanna spend $170 for bb7's because its for my secondary bike

mav67 02-27-06 11:19 PM
Avid all the way! (For both mechs and hydros)

cant spend 170 on bb7's, buy the 6" bb5's. avids brakes are by far the easiest of any brake to adjust that i have seen

BS hopes have so much more power and they actually have modulation unlike hayes. so what if theyre expensive, you pay for what you get. now im not saying the hayes are a bad brake at all, im just saying hopes are better.

Someone disagreed with raiyn. Whereever he is, whatever he is doing, i bet he sensed that and i await his impending return. :)

snoopz666 03-18-06 04:06 PM
