Ok I need to get some new disc brakes for my Anthem.
Currently have the old (2004) Hayes HFX jobs of my old bike and they starting to show their age. So my criteria are
Budget $300-$400 for front and rear complete.
Must be easy to adjust to get perfect alignment, my Hayes are a pain. The ability to wind the pad separate to the caliper would be good. I need to be able to swap in and out a different wheelset for my slicks.
Stopping power and modulation and "feel" I have never had a problem with my Hayes so not a major.
Weight a concern but budget rules over weight.
Pads changes should be easy unlike my current setup which require a full realignment.
I have never had to bleed my Hayes so any brand that has to be bleed every so often is out.
Current ideas are
Shimano SLX, Avid BB7's
Or Hayes much better for adjustment than before?
I need some more ideas, but please keep to the criteria above.
Thanks in advance
