madmarc Posted October 31, 2013 Share I don't see the resemblance Because there isn't one. But it did take Shitmano 3 years to come out with brakes that Avid did in 2010. Then found they overheated so they included some plastic looking fin thingy's to BS their customers about HiTech cooling technology so they could charge more for a product that should be sold on the shelves of Massmart.

Guest Omega Man Posted October 31, 2013 Share Agreed. Anyway, as I was saying... Saint over XTR for meYeah. Me too. Love the new Saint stuff. I have to say the Zee stuff is DAMN well priced and if the derailleur I have on my bike is anything to go by the rest of the stuff is really good too.

You signature explains your ignorance.Shimano had the best brakes when disk brakes hit the MTB market.Their XT's were unrivaled and it took many manufacturers a long time to catch up to them. The next step was Magura, those original Louis and Marta brakes were superb.They all seem to go through their phases., if there is one thing however Shimano have been pretty constant with, it is their brakes.

Guest Travis. Posted October 31, 2013 Share Hey I have a plan. Let's all ignore Wyatt TwEarp and his sidekick Tevez. Eventually they'll go away and we can all resume the pleasant banter about which brakes we like.Aren't you the oke who has to remind everyone that you went to France in every 2nd post? fabes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR ◣◢ Posted October 31, 2013 Share Yeah. Me too. Love the new Saint stuff. I have to say the Zee stuff is DAMN well priced and if the derailleur I have on my bike is anything to go by the rest of the stuff is really good too. Exactly where I am. If I don't go Hope Tech 3 V4 on the DH whip. Interesting enough Saint is R1950 per end compared to ZEE at R1750 per end. Hope V4 is R2310 per end. I will however spend the R1000 extra for the Hope of the ZEE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love that. DR ◣◢ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
