Do these old brakes have the same power as the new ones. I find I am lacking the braking power with mine.

Am I up for a new set of brakes? if so what would you recommend for a DH bike?

Cheers Kano

is it the break units that are that old??

and if there lacking power it could be just needing new hydrolic oil in your cables

if not then maybe check the pistons in the calliper

The whole units are that old, its an 02 Craftworks DH rig that had been riden (gently) half a dozen times and been sitting in a garage for the last 3 and half years. Needless to say I bought it real cheap.

They have been bled and feel really good until you apply power, its the difference between one finger and two. What I haven't done is replace the pads.

How could I check the pistions in the calliper?

thanks for your recommendation PyletSnviper :)
