Hydraulic Disc Brakes

[potent]

 

 

I recently purchased a silverback alpine 2008 model. I find the brakes ( tektro V's) work well until I hit the mud /water. I was thinking of upgrading to hydraulic disk brakes. Can anyone suggest the best brakes to buy price / quality wise?

2008 XT.

Avid Juicy 3s are fine but if you can go for 5s you do not need anything else.

Juicy 3 for starters, then Juicy 5's.

 

If you want to break the bank and get Bling-bling  Juicy Ultimates.  Pretty, pretty.

what sort of price are the XT's and Avids?

1st of all, does your fork, frame and hubs allow you to convert to discs ?

 

If yes, then Juicy 5's are probably your best bang for the buck.

Ja, kyk eers of jou raam die plek het waar jy die disc's / calipers kan vasbout

 

 

 

Ek kry een van die dae 'n nuwe groupset en dan kom my Hayes Nine in die mark met al die spare brake blokkies, deraillers, en daai goed.

my fork and frame allows me to convert just not sure about the hubs. what do I need to look for on the hubs to see if they are useable?

It must have 6 threaded holes on the left side. Like this pic.
