Hi all, I have some pretty poor cable disc brakes that came with my bike. I'm looking for a set of good value hydraulic disc brakes to improve my lack of braking! Any suggested types to try?

    Unless you plan on changing your shifters as well, then something like TRP hy/rd might help. However, there's no reason why your cable discs should not be at least adequate. What are they - and are you sure they are set up correctly?

    either change whole dam thing (shifters+calipers) to go hydraulic, or go for the HY/RD from TRP. they perform a touch less than full hydraulic, IF you get your self a nice set of compressionless cables.

    The first ride with the new brake system was a success,
    The feel of the brake levers were spot on, makes the cable brakes a bit pants, it does look a bit lumpy on the bars.
    But the performance is much much better, if you can’t afford full hydro brakes , it is well worth it :D
