Pair of disc brakes for upto £100

Guys,

I have not been using my Marin recently, as the rear brake is staying on.
As they are Hayes Soles, and 7 years old, I expect it makes more sense to replace them.

I do not have lots of cash to splash, but wondered if anyone can point me in the direction of some good deals, and hopefully good brakes!

Budget ideally less than £100, but would go to £120 if its a monster of a good deal.

Shimano Deore.

You can get a set of Shimano SLX brakes for about £105
Or there's the Deores which are cheaper than that

SLX for £108 on CRC currently (I got XTs for £113 a couple of weeks back, but they're £130 currently).

Ribble are out of stock but they have the SLX at £100 including delivery

Thankyou for those replies gents, looks like 100 notes is about the minimum spend then.

I just noticed merlin are doing an entire slx groupset for 300, so 291 after quidco cashback.
I am not up on mtb groupsets of recent, but would that be a decent upgrade on my 2006 Deore DX 9 spd setup?
And am I correct in thinking it comes with everything I would need?

The only bit I am unsure of is the front derailleur, how do I know if its 'top swing' or 'conventional'?

Is this a sensible option do you think?

Ribble, Merlin, CRC and On One always seem to have the best component prices to me. I agree that Shimano is the way forward - Deore or SLX.

£90 excluding the rotors but they will bolt straight on using your existing adaptors. Very nice brakes - not as bling as XT for example but apart from a slightly less precise feel at the lever and a couple of adjusters, the braking power and fit/forget hassle-free operation is the same. Order them today you'll probably get them tomorrow

Agreed M615 seem excellent. Even cheaper on the German site too.

Love my SLX M666 brakes but those Deores are steal at that price, UK or German. I think the reach adjustment is worth paying a little extra for though.

Good price on that SLX groupo from Merlin too. Looks like all you would need is mount adapters. I think you'd need Conventional F/D for the Marin, but a quick call to Merlin should give you the exact info.

The Deores have reach adjust as well, you just need to use an allen key.

That's even better value then
