Mada3400 Posted July 4, 2012 Share once you get those slx brake on the bike, let us know how they are, i'm getting mixed responses, bikeradar says that they are the best that you can buy and i know i guy who didn't like them, i wanna use them for dh and get rid of my XOs (they are amazing and i love them, but i'm thinking that they might need a better home) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheV Posted July 4, 2012 Share Just got this overnight. Thanks to TheV. Great person to deal with. Every time I touch a set of those SLX's I am soooooo tempted to swop my Avid XX"s on my SB-66 to these.... They are better looking than the XT i.m.o and do the same Job!....

Agree with Nigel, my XX Avid's are so crap compared to the SLX/XT brakes I'm going to take my XX's off my SB-66 THIS WEEKEND.... DONE!! Anyone interested, I'm willing to trade a set of brand new Avid XX"s for just about anything, even for a look up your girlfriends skirt... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd do anything to get rid of those. And I'm an avid fan. PS: Think of it as a baby shower prezzie... Edited July 5, 2012 by cptmayhem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unclerico Posted July 25, 2012 Share So how was the factory parking lot test ride like? haha awesome,bike feels super plush but at the same time does not bob under pedaling,weighed it. It came in at 12.5 kgs not bad for a 150mm bike (Deon), RossW and Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
