GiantTjop Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 just a quick question, are you having any problems with your brakes? i have the same and thus far have been very dissapointed
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 Why? I was replying to GianTjop's post. Which, if you look carefully, is directly before mine... Bleeding obviously won't fix the OP's problem of incompatible levers/shifters....
Neg Posted February 28, 2012 Author Posted February 28, 2012 No, my brakes work well, they really grip, hold and stop me really quickly. so far they are on par with the DH brakes i had on my DH Bike. its just i would have liked them closer together... but i'm trying the one finger thing and so far... i have not come off my bike yet... :) Capricorn 1
tombraider Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 just a quick question, are you having any problems with your brakes? i have the same and thus far have been very dissapointed Two of my buddies have those brakes on their Scott 29er Pro's. If they see rain, the pads are gone! There seems to be an issue with pad clearance. And they are very noisy.I have the 2012 Elexir 7's on my Giant. They seemed OK, till I swapped bikes with someone who had the M775 XT's on. What a difference. The Xt's have far beter modulation and less effort is needed to get the same result. I immediately installed my old Xt's from a bike i wanted to sell.

That goes for any brand of brake. Metal sintered pads hold up a lot better under all conditions.Secondly, are your buddies brake-drag heroes? I'll hazard: more than likely.

And if they stop me, they'll stop anyone!
Capricorn Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 apparently, they not powerful enough to stop you hitting the Post button thrice!!!!! oh wait, u were probably modulating/feathering those E.5 anchors
