I have been out cranking and bashing away on a pair of Hayes Stroker Gram disc brakes for almost a year now on my Ibis Mojo. Although they are not the lightest pair of brakes I have used in the ever expanding weight weenie disc brake world, they are quite powerful, with excellent fade resistance. Continue reading →

from Santiago, Chile Date Reviewed: March 14, 2011 Strengths: Great value. Really reliable, solid carbon levers, bulletproof body, great stopping power, excellent performance, and even though is lightweight! Weaknesses: A bit on the on/off side if you like the levers pretty much away from the bar. I've had a couple of "turnovers" due to that but I have fixed it by adjusting the levers a bit closer to the handlebar.

from Orange County, CA Date Reviewed: February 2, 2011 Strengths: Lightweight. True to claimed weight on website (I measure everything because I'm an insufferable weight weenie). Good bite and modulation. Levers feel very good in hands, and contact point has very good feel. Great all around brake. Weaknesses: Looses some feel and bite under heavy use, but to be expected for smaller to mid-size rotors that I use.

from midwest Date Reviewed: October 30, 2010 Strengths: Solid, consistant feel. Easy to adjust, bleed, shorten the lines and change pads. Quiet. I don't get any rubbing like I did on my Elixer CR Mags until I threw them in the garbage. Work awesome with XTR centerlock rotors but you have to trim off the tab on the inner pad. Weaknesses: At first I would have said levers could be longer for twist shifters, but I wouldn't change them now that I have lots of time on them. After extreme use the pistons seem to get a "memory", essentially they travel in one area repeatedly and when new pads are installed you may have to clean/lube the pistons to gain smooth, full range again. Pistons/o rings are cheap and easy to replace. I've done mine annually, under $10 a wheel and 15 minutes.

Great initial bite without being grabby. Easy to adjust lever position. Look nice. Light weight. Subtle graphics and no red (it seems like every manufacturer has to put red colored graphics on all their parts. My bike is orange. Orange and red clash).
