webs Posted November 4, 2008 Posted November 4, 2008 Does anyone know anything about these brakes?Do you get the pads freely here and is it a OK brakeset?
Mudsimus Posted November 4, 2008 Posted November 4, 2008 You get the brake pads without problems. And its better than ok.
Super_mil Posted November 4, 2008 Posted November 4, 2008 I'll agreee with Mud Dee here. I have a set that came std on my bike and they've been great. I've seen replacement parts (pads, rotors) at a couple of shops in JHB.
singletrackmind Posted November 4, 2008 Posted November 4, 2008 Iv got the K18's Most powerfull and easy to use brakes iv used as yet. They are awesome! You can find pads very easily.
stringbean Posted November 4, 2008 Posted November 4, 2008 There is an agent for Formula in SA so spares are not a problem.I think they make the best brakes out and can't wait for the new R1. 240g
singletrackmind Posted November 4, 2008 Posted November 4, 2008 Im looking at uprgading to the oro puro
stringbean Posted November 4, 2008 Posted November 4, 2008 Had oro puros,great brake but i think they might be dropping them for 09.
swift Posted November 4, 2008 Posted November 4, 2008 Great brakes! Some of our top end BH's come with them. Greg Minaar used (maybe he still does) a LTD edition set for down-hill. They tested these overseas last year against the other top end brakes and overall Formula came out tops. Braking power is very good... My best part is the feel. The levers are really nice and small, and the effort to brake is minimal. I have used them for over 2 years now.
singletrackmind Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 most of the commencal bikes come std with them as well.
