Hi gang.
I'm rebuilding a 2002 Yeti ARC for my wife, that I recently bought.
Although it was complete, I'm replacing plenty of parts.
The Hayes HFX-9s work, but the rear looks a bit of a mess (oil on calliper and pads).
I'm not fixed on staying retro/period, rather just want to get it up and running really nicely for the minimal cost.
Looking around, it seems I'll be $40 per end for a calliper seal kit, so reckon it's easily going to stack to $100-200 to get them back to running well.
Alternately I could spend a pit more for a low-end new set of brakes.
Or... I could spend same/bit more for a decent used set of brakes.
What do you reckon?
