Strengths: -Light
-Semi-cheap
-Good baking power
-Good-looking
-Good-looking rotors
-Customizable
-Easy to repair/bleed - the same bleed kit as AVIDWeaknesses: -Not the stopping power I was looking for. My old V-brakes with no-name cheap calipers and Promax cartridge 3-color pads were the same in dry conditions.
-Poor quality control - front line came half-empty on braking fluid!Bottom Line: Should visit the mechanic to do bleeding - kinda sucks that I have to bleed them right out of the box. Good that the local mechanic asks a bit less than 10$ for it, otherwise I'd RMA them.
Suggest checking the quality and fluid amount when buying. Hygia is known for having crappy quality control.
HYGIA SLP doen't worth the buck - USAGI is a better choice for less money. The weight difference isn't that big (20g?) and that's just mainly because of the light-weight rotors.

Strengths: +Very light
+A lot of modulation
+Good braking feel
+XT/XTR padsWeaknesses: -You need to take off grips
-Reach adj.knob is not fixed (Use locktite)
-Stopping power is weaker than in Juicy 7Bottom Line: Very light and good brakes for it`s price. You can buy Hayes Nine(used) for that price and they will have good power,but they are heavier and without modulation. So I will keep them for my CC bike,they are not for DH,but are usable in AM.
Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month
Price Paid:
$93.00
Purchased At: Ebay
