I have a transition db and I am in the process of up-grading some parts and changing the appearance of the bike. First I will need new disk brakes...mine are s**t and I need a good, cheap pair of hydro's. The db is a green 06' with white lettering,so I wanted to buy some white parts as well. as far as white parts, they are not necessary but here's some stuff I found...

So, if you have any suggestions for disk brakes or other white (non-expensive) cosmetic parts feel free to leave them. Thanks:thumbsup:

Post up a pic/specs of your bike as is sits now.

just spend the cash on some higher end brakes and you will be much happier than if you try to save some money.

Brakes are the one area that I will NEVER skimp on. forsake all the frivolous white parts and get some quality functional parts.. such as some avid codes...

 

[splatman]

such as some avid codes...

Si, they are well worth the extra $$.

 

[wyrm]

Get the new hayes... they come in white.

 

[mrpercussive]

Yes to Strokers!!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Get the new hayes... they come in white

spend the cash, get the avids, i would if i could do it over again. i run hayes and they arent as good as even the juicy 7s.

the strokers are supposed to be nice, though.

I'm very happy with my Juicys, but going CODE is the way to go

I put some CODE 5s on about 2 months ago and I'm loven um!

I got them off of: http://www.universalcycles.com/shopping/product_details.php?id=18965

I used their coupon... vip15 for 30% off orders $300 and up
vip10 for 10% off orders $100 and up

Why don't you buy parts that perform well instead of one's that will be fashionable on your rig...?

Pricepoint has Juicy 7's on sale for $120 a piece, bringing you to $240 a set. Nice deal should you ask me. I ran Juicy 7's for several years and they have been a top notch performing brake.

Avoid Hayes. I refuse to run Hayes, ever. I hated my Nines, Mags are overrated, and El Camino's fall apart on their own. As for Strokers...I'm not even touching those.

 

[marvindownhillerofbi]

i have avid codes and they are the best brakes i have ever riden with and i highly recomend them.

 

[MattP.]

Pony up, get the Codes.

 

[daisycutter]

if you want the best brakes

get magura gustavs, avid code or saints. Gustavs are the most powerful brakes you can buy, They are a bit heavy buy I have not bleed my gustavs in 18 months and they still have lost nothing in performance. I have saints on my free ride bike and though they are not as strong as gustavs they have been great brakes. I have riden a couple of bikes with codes and I have been impressed with how they are built and feel though I confess I like my gustavs and saints better. Brakes are where you spend money because if they fail you are sol.

Yea yall are right I will prolly go with the codes...I have hayes now and they are total sh**...just something I picked up lyin around the bike shop to complete the build.
