Well it all depends on what brakes you going to put on the bike. If your looking for a set of maggies for it, then brand new your looking at £100 just over really. But then second hand and it could be half the price, depends what mounts and pads you want. You can buy standard maggie mounts around £20 and pads range from £10 up to around £35ish. Getting the brakes on the bike won't be an issues as its just a few bolts but if they needed bleeding then will be a little less simple. But thats what the forum is all about to help riders out so few tutorials and your on your way mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tioz Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 Not a problem really..If you're getting vee's they're really easy to fit..follow this video Only problem arises when your rim isn't true..but there are tutorial to fix that too even if it's a bit more complicated Mechanical disks are quite easy too..all you need to do is follow the manual They must be in good condition because a bent rotor could make you go mad I've no idea about maggies because I've never had them.. Hydraulic discs in my opinion are quite easy..just need to follow the manual and be sure to bleed them properly Here also a bent rotor can make you nuts In the end it's just a few bolts and knowing what you're doing..nothing impossible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are Magura brakes. Have a look around this site for brake pads and brake clamps also. Edited May 16, 2011 by max-t Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piperfraz Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 Hydraulic brakes are good, if you get one get an HS33! I got one quite recently, and I have been riding for around two months. I found that replacing my V-brake for hydraulic really helped my riding. If you get a hydraulic, you will also need to get clamps, which are around £20/25 and you may want new pads which can be anything from £10 to 35. Hope this helps!
