|   Avid disk mech VS Deore Hydro... experts choice? | iam
Jul 30, 2003 6:59 PM | | Hi.
I own a KONA Caldera 2001 on which I upgraded the front AVID Single Digit V-brake for a Avid disk mech. I quite pleased with this brake and now was thinking about upgrading the rear as well but I was wondering if it would be worth the extra money to put Deore Hydro on both wheels instead... How are the Deore hydro rated? Do they require continuous maintenance, unlike the good old mechanical disk ?
Thanks for any info on that matter.

Yeah I think it makes sense to just grab another Avid mech, they're really good brake for the price and very easy to adjust/maintain.
Later! |
