J0KER Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 Hey Okes So I'm busy building up quite a sexy dirtjumper..basically everything is sorted; fox fork, XT cranks, Ruckus frame(being rawwed ),holzfeller DH handlebars, rawwed hussefelt stem etc. But one thing is missing.. a rear brake! The new line of shimano brakes are very tempting and I definitely love the feel of them... But I heard people mix and match caliper and lever combos ! Witch would be the best combo that won't punish the pocket too much? Or what would be your choice if you were in my situation ?
divernick Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 The new Deore brakes from CRC work out to just over R500 per side, ex rotors. No better deal out there!

DR ◣◢ Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 All you need a brake for is to slow down Even something dating back to 2004 would work perfect for that.
J0KER Posted May 10, 2012 Author Posted May 10, 2012 I know but I like my bikes pimp and looking good !

J0KER Posted May 10, 2012 Author Posted May 10, 2012 Sorry, not sure about the spelling, but its when you raw the frame. You strip the paint off it and it looks silver depending on the frame's material.

RockCoach Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 The wifes Intense came raw as standard You won't go wrong with Deore.
