Has a juicy midrange
Anyone who criticises Shimano for bein on/off has never ridden Hayes Nines. Shimano have bootfuls of modulation, you just need to use metal pads and learn how to ride the cam.
Can you elaborate more on that please? I found every Shimano brake I've touched to lack modulation and fade ridiculously fast. I'm not a featherweight world champ though.If you find XT brakes on/off you need to weigh more. Once they are struggling to pull you up the have modulation...
Both of the above, sorta kinda. On a trail ride I'll have the on off feel with relatively weak initial grab that feels the same all the way through the lever stroke. Now on a steeper line where you'll drag the brake and try to modulate it to control speed and turning, they warm up and get doughier and fade quickly.Fade? As in overheat or as you pull em in they stop stopping kinda thing.
Like you squeeze to 7, and then when you turn it up to 11 it’s not clamping the disk any harder.
Try to imagine yourself with a beard and a backpack full of rocks out front. Now grippng the bars as tight as you can in your helmet with a removable chin bar take on that crazy blue trail at a .ittle over walking pace... You'll have all the brakes you ever need.Can you elaborate more on that please? I found every Shimano brake I've touched to lack modulation and fade ridiculously fast. I'm not a featherweight world champ though.
I'm not a fan of cam...... you just need to use metal pads and learn how to ride the cam.
Mwahaha you call that a fat arse!Can you elaborate more on that please? I found every Shimano brake I've touched to lack modulation and fade ridiculously fast. I'm not a featherweight world champ though.
Not quite the worst.... There was the Hayes Sole single-piston pile of utter shit. Although they weren't so much on/off, more off/is it doing anything?Hayes nine were off/off.
Worst brake ever
I have a pair of sole’s somewhere in the shed, totally agree with you. I especially like the way the single piston bends the rotor on to the fixed pad. Dead silent and huge stopping power ...Not quite the worst.... There was the Hayes Sole single-piston pile of utter shit. Although they weren't so much on/off, more off/is it doing anything?
