does anyone have any experience with hayes sole hydro brakes? i have an opportunity to get a set (front and rear) new for 100 bucks, was wondering if it's worth while.

if ur lookin at them for an XC rig they work pretty all right, but if ur lookin at DH/FR then no get something better. I have 'em on my Trance3 for XC for about 8 months and would say that's all they're good for.
well in that case what would you reccomend for dh/fr? i'm kinda thinking bb7's cause i hear they work great and don't cost alot.
bb7's over soles any day. ive heard the Hayes HFX 9's are ok. you can score a used set of mags or juicy 5's if you keep looking and be patient. I got my mags for $100 in almost new conidition. just needed pads and longer rear hose.
I am a hayes man but I wouldn't recommend the Hayes 9's.....many people complain about them...and my buddies sucked so he switched to the Hayes Magsfiddy_ryder said:bb7's over soles any day. ive heard the Hayes HFX 9's are ok. you can score a used set of mags or juicy 5's if you keep looking and be patient.

Id wait until Jan-Feb. Alot of the web retailers are blowing out last years Hayes Mags at like 1/2 price.
