sayshell Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 (edited) they are bad. The problem is the lever design flexes like mad so you get no power (by lever I mean master cylinder). The echo tr slave calipers are good though better than magura, i replaced my magura calipers with these, they feel exactly the same and are a fair bit lighter as long as the hose is tight they don't leak. I would either use the echo cnc lever, sl lever, or a regular hs-33 lever. The pads also are really non-responsive with the tr brake as in you have to push the lever a large distance to make the pads move a small distance which results in you having to put the pads really close to the rim and the brake rubbing the rim with the slightest bend. I highly recommend not buying them. Its worth the money. However echo revised the 2010 design. The one I owned was 2009. The problem is the design not the workmanship. They work ok but the design was flawed Edited March 14, 2010 by sayshell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like there's something wrong with your setup there or you just need to bleed it - that doesn't sound right... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terry26rims Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 i've recently bought the 09 TR, still using oil in it at mo and it's fine. The tpa is 75% in to sort out my lever flex. I quite like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
