Replacement Brakes on a budget.

stevekoz

Hi all,

More buying advice as always.

Bad luck has struck again and I've knackered a piston on my front on a set Shimano M445-6 brakes. So thinking of changing them out. Not after anything fancy and i'm on a tight titght budget and i'd prefer something that had a stronger and better feel to them. As cheap as possible but nothing upwards of £100. Obviously i'm not going to get anything super inthat range but second hand bargains always to be had. New or old. Thanks in advance guys n girls. Cheers.

Some 2012 Deores/SLX from Rose?

Wrong side levers, but it's an easy fix.

What do you mean you knackered a piston? And, how did you do it?

i just changed my old deore brakes to new deore m596 and the difference is massive a lot more power and i like the on off feel of the levers.
I got mine for £100 for both but they look even cheaper on rose s site .
I couldnt justify the extra £40 an end for the xt and after trying the ones on my mates bike there wasnt a great deal of difference anyway.
