great description, well done.

Deores would probably be the best bet, they have 2 moving pistons, the Julies only have one iirc - probably better modulation, although i have not used either, best to look at reviews.

Deores are awesome.

Buy them.

seconded, go for deores over the maguras. my deore has been fine so far after a year and a half of abuse and one pad change/bleed. although that was only on the road, might be moe often off it.

I said hit the brakes not the tree!!

julies have 2 moving pistons

Who me · May 2007

Have both and rate both although julies take a lot of bedding in and feel cheap they do have lots of stopping power. Deores are more hassle but reliable.

haroexone · May 2007

how can they be more hassle but reliable?

Who me · May 2007

I find them personaly harder to set up but once they are setup more reliable. Like Hopes, I think they are the dogs but take ages to set up although feel the best once they are set up A1.

one of my mates had deores for a while he soon discoverd that a cheap pair of shoes are much more effective stoppers

Ride it hard on a hardtail

The new hopes aren't a pain to set up, took me about 5 mins.

And?
Shimano Deores.
Spares are easily available and I've heard lots of good things about them.

More hassle to set up but once that is done they are more reliable.

I have Julies on my Azonic. They work well, easy to set up spacing to the disc, stop well etc but they do look a bit big and cheap.

I have older Deore's on my Dmr. They have the best feeling lever of any brake ive tried, work almost as well as the Julies. I think they only have 1 piston though so you get some rub and getting them spaced right on the mount means faffing with washers. These are old ones though, new ones may be different

Either are good basically for the price, can get Julies new off ebay for under œ100

Got Julies on my hardtail, they are ok for the money, can't fault them really. They do tend to sqwauk alot when the smallest amount of dirt goes near them however.

You should hear my front Deore then heh! Means you ride quicker to avoid braking though lol! Must get some sandpaper on the pads, my Julies are fine
