new xc brakes

clarkson

which do you recommend? i currently have 01 formula b4's and am looking to upgrade to something more powerful. have been looking at the 07 juicy 5's as i havew a pair of the 06's and love them, but also wanted something different so was looking at the 07 hope mono mini. i would get the magura martas but the budget doesnt quite stretch that far!

You could do far worse than a set of Shimano XT ones inc discs which come in at £129 delivered, if budget is your concern. Better than Juicy 5's.

not so keen on shimano brakes; i dont like the feel or the lever, otherwise id consider them; they are quite powerful.
