adam trials Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Does anyone else think the new echo brakes are a bit pricey at £150 each on tarty. The maggies are only £65 each. Is it just methat thinks they cost loads or do all of you?Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonny_smith Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 they do look amazing but we'll have to wait and see until some rich dude buys some to tell us all what they are like n whether they are worth their money!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom 20 Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Shame really because i cannot afford them if the prices were lower i think alot of people would have them over magura brakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam trials Posted January 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Shame really because i cannot afford them if the prices were lower i think alot of people would have them over magura brakes.Yeah if they were a lower price i would have my maggies straight on ebay to but some Echo brakes.If the were £150 for the pair i would have som but at £150 each they cost more than the hope mono trial 180"!!!!!!!!!!!Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 It is true that they are a bit pricy, but you can't compare it to a magura without adding these upgrades to the magura:1 Maggie - £651 Echo Lever - £251 Set Of Echo Brake Mounts - £251 Set Of Echo Pads - £18This all comes to a grand total of £133.Not a huge difference, especially when you think that this brake is designed for trials and is fully CNC'd.I do think that they have made a huge mistake though, you are still going to have to upgrade it, it doesn't come with a booster of braided hosing which is a piss take really, this is supposed to be the ultimate trials rim brake, I would expect to be able to fit it straight from the box and before I use it I am going to have to re-bleed it!I would only buy this when building up a complete new bike, even then I would need to upgrade it though...

You'd expect them to be machined out of solid billet, but I don't know how you know for sure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They actually havn't been re-designed for trials, they have simply copied and slightly altered maguras original design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
