Hi Hubbers! I'm curious to know the stats on which brakes are most popular in SA. Please vote and discuss in the thread :)

You need to alter the second section of the poll to allow multiple selections...

 

and if you care about mtb or road brakes...

Shimano XT on 2 of my bikes, and Shimano SLX on the other 1. 160mm rotors on all of them. The stopping power feels great.

Shimano, quite a broad section, I'm running ice-tech rotors and XT levers & pulleys.

 

Edit: 180mm front and 160mm rear

Yeah you should add which model of Shimano and or SRAM etc. Otherwise ppl will be all like "Shimano sucks balls as there's no modulation" ... Unless you'r riding the Zee or Saint ;)

I don't ride my brakes. It tends to wear out the pads and smells funny.

Skerp.

Maybe add a section, what will be your next brakes?

 

Mine might be Sram Guide or Level next.

 

Great idea, I'll start adding options so long!

Agreed, I'll start adding models :)

As there are too many different brands/models for the forum poll I'll rather create a google survey and share the link here. It'll be comprehensive and include rotor brand/sizes as well. This might take a while so check back regularly :)
