Marco V. Posted September 26, 2023 Report Share Posted September 26, 2023 Hello there! I'm looking around for brakes. I've an Inspired Arcade (red mirror frame from 2017/2018) and i just broke the front MT5. I don't want to repair it because of plastic things on the lever and i would prefer to substitute them. What's your opinion about brakes? - Hope trial tech 4 - Stay with MT5 but with mt7 lever - Hayes dominion a4 - others? Thank you all in advance!

Matt24. Posted September 26, 2023 Report Share Posted September 26, 2023 Stay with mt5 and a Shimano lever. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but assume you could buy a deore lever and it would work fine and be a fair bit stronger than magura levers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Szymon Posted September 27, 2023 Report Share Posted September 27, 2023 Shigura is very strong. However the brake lever is very spongy. I had one day and went back to MT5 with HC3. The question is what kind of brake lever feel does Marco like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco V. Posted September 27, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2023 Thanks guys! I've read something about Shigura and seems most of people loves them. I afraid that the servo brake system make them spongy or with a weird finger feedback and @Szymon kinda confirmed... To me i Just want a brake that Is powerful, that grants that when i Land on rear wheel (or similar) It doesn't slide. With strong/solid lever. With kinda modulable Power for manuals stoppies and so on but that works in on/off mode when needed for other things. I'm fine with magura caliper i think... but i don't want anymore the lever to broke Just by pressing It when bouncing on front wheel, that's simply Dangerous. Hope brakes looks fine because solid and people says they're indestructibles. Maybe too much on/off? Or are they pretty modulable? Never tried Looking also at the @Ali C videos, Hayes brakes seems to be something in the middle... but never tried too so, basically too many option i never tried :) that's why i Need some help and feedback from you guys :) thanks a lot in Advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco V. Posted September 27, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2023 Oh, in case i'll take a try with Shigura, which lever do you suggest to buy? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Szymon Posted September 27, 2023 Report Share Posted September 27, 2023 3 hours ago, Marco V. said: Oh, in case i'll take a try with Shigura, which lever do you suggest to buy? thanks The cheapest M6100 Deore. One more thing. The clamp is in the center of the pump. My handlebar is shortened and the lever almost doesn't fit. The clamp falls out when bending.
