Hayes Stroker Trail Reviews
Description:
The Stroker Trail improves on the Ryde in a number of ways, beginning with an indexed, tool-free reach-adjust dial that makes setup a snap. The caliper features an adjustable banjo for tight, snag-free hose routing, plus Hayes' signature tool-free pad removal. The Stroker Trail also boasts a greater hydraulic ratio than the Ryde, for enhanced stopping power and modulation. No
wonder the Stroker Trail has already been ridden to numerous World Cup championships. 406g with 160mm rotor.

Pros
Good brake, descent modulation, reach adjust, does its job.
Cons
pain in the ass to bleed, a lot of slop in the lever.
Review
These are a good trail brake, but fade on long descents, a royal pain to bleed, needs bleeding a couple of times a season after heavy use. Also has quite a bit of slop that can't be adjusted out of the lever leaving an inconsistant feel at the levers.

Pros
Very smooth modulation, great stopping power, easy adjustment, all at a lower cost.
Cons
None yet.
Review
I agree with element with the DOT 5.1, works so much better or more fluid with it. Pretty much the same verdict as element.
Pros
Great modulaton and stopping power, simple setup, easy reach adjustment, relatively cheap.
Cons
Bleeding, while less messy than many other brands, is still a bit of a pain, requiring special fitting screws to fit the bleed ports.
Review
Great brake that you should be able to find a nice price.
Pros
Light-weight, durable, strong, and smooth.
Cons
Calipers stick occasionally.
Review
Pretty quiet, my first hydro setup. Excellent stopping power and modulation witha 6" rotor.
Pros
Good modulation (use DOT 5.1) decent cost and great stopping power
Cons
When first received these had a bit of an issue with lever returning all the way quickly fixed by Hayes at no cost
Review
