Just saw this from Chain Reaction:

I don’t know anything about Clarks brakes but seriously, how can they sell a hydraulic disc brake set for less than the cost of a bleed?

I have a set of Clarks pads in my Orbea 29er. Have held out fine for this whole season.
Those are awesome prices, though. God, I miss PricePoint 😉

The reviews for them are very positive, anybody who needs a disc brake setup should seriously consider this.

Another cheap set of hydraulic brakes ($32), this time Shimanos on JensonUSA:
Of course these don’t include a rotor and they aren’t XT or anything. But still, I paid 2-3 as much for a set of mechanical BB7s that didn’t even include levers!

I run Elixirs and I actually prefer them to Shimano brakes. Elixirs generally modulate better than Shimano brakes which tend to have more of an on/off feel. The thing is, some people like an on/off feel (feels more responsive and powerful) while others like a more gradual increase in braking force–and that’s ok. I haven’t had any reliability issues with my Elixirs or Shimano brakes for that matter so it comes down to brake feel for me.

this is good. i am about to purchase a used bike with hayes el camino brakes. I have read nothing but bad about these, so im already looking to replace them before i even have the bike in hand.
Anyone know of some good up to date hydraulic brakes for someone on a budget? Or that can give me some insight on these Clark brakes or the Shimano brakes that are mentioned here?
