|   which brake setup....... | jimbobb
Dec 24, 2001 1:01 AM | | What set up should I go for?
1. HS33
Plazmatic crm pads
MDH RB design brake booster (www.rbdesign.sk/en/en_index.htm)
cost: $225 (£150)
2. lx parallel brakes (no cost; already have)
flak jacket cables (or other)
V1 RBdesign booster
plazmatic CRV pads (gonna have to import them from US to UK)
COST: $135 (£90)
I am just looking for lockup!
I already have the lx brakes set up with planet x stickypads, which are ok. Should I make the switch? I will also need to get hold of some cable cutters which I amy have to buy which also adds to the cost of the second set up.
Please give feedback! pros, cons. |

I wouldn't do the plaz pads with it though, since they're a soft compound and would probably just get ground to dust in a few hours. For $5 with your current brakes you'd probably get all the power you need. |
