GoLefty!! Posted October 20, 2012 Share Depends on your riding, the M675 is a more heavy duty brake set while the 666 is more for XC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RED1408 Posted October 20, 2012 Share I've just put on the M675 brakes on my Pinn'r and they are awesome! So powerful that when i pull the brakes hard they stop the earth spinning!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monark Posted November 12, 2012 Share SLX brake sets are selling for R2300 without rotors... that is for the 675's. I really want them but that just seems a little steep for my pocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danger Dassie Posted November 12, 2012 Share Essentially the same brake. http://techdocs.shimano.com/techdocs/blevel.jsp?FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374302059413&ASSORTMENT%3C%3East_id=1408474395181679&bmUID=jh4Wrbr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
divernick Posted November 12, 2012 Share I just got the M596 Deores and they rock! SLX will not add much IMO, just tool-free reach adjust.... http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=67246 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G, have you spoken to the V? He usually has these kind of things at a low price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You change the reach on your brakes frequently?On the Deores you do so with an allen key,so it's still easy if you want to adjust them.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, I guess it more of a gimmicky feature. I tend to adjust my brakes a lot, as I'm still not decided how I like it, or when someone else rides my bike (to help prevent crashing it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
divernick Posted November 12, 2012 Share Nick, total cost incl VAT etc?Wanna get either this or SLX, my juicy 3's not high on my confidence list Take the price plus shipping plus about 16% VAT and handling if buying from CRC. I paid R2100 at my LBS for front and rear, white hoses (extra cost), adapters and 2x 180mm rotors all bled, hoses trimmed and installed. I could do it myself but finding the time is difficult. I cant emphasise enough how much I love these brakes. Edited November 12, 2012 by divernick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryanpmb Posted November 12, 2012 Share M675 are the replacement model for M666. Try evobikes.co.za janos@evobikes.co.za for competitive pricing. I bought a set for the PYGA and have since got rid of the Formulas on the Cotic & replaced them with SLX. Both M675. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did pay extra for the service of installing and bleeding, I think R160 per side if I remember correctly. And paid for the white hoses.Using the RT56 rotors.
