Onza-rider Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 i have seen these echo rim brakes for a while and i have been wondering on how the peformdoes anyone have the brakes and what do you think ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Scarlet Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 They just look like a different design to the standard Magura's to me.Apart from the pads, I think they are the same performance wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onza-rider Posted March 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 i cant see the pont of it being 135.00 quid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom 20 Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 The performance may be just as good if not better but:.It is cnc so its gunna be stronger.It was specifically designed for trials in mind so its supposed to clear you ankles from catching.Comes with echo brake pads.Echo cnc mountsAll it needs is a braided hose and i would of considered I think il just stick to Maggy's though .Tom.

grantallsop Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 i have rode a bike with them on, they are not all they are cracked up to be. My mates already had problems with the levers and adjusting the brake, also they come with the new echo pads which definatly need a grind to work to there best. They look at lot nicer than maguras but you can't go wrong with the maguras. Hope i helped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandalf the Yellow Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 i think they're lame and a waste of money.its just a machined version of the maggie so it might feel stiffer maybe lighter (though there probably won't be much difference anyway)and you don't need braided hosing on a maggie, its pointless as well.stick with the old maggies!steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dean-monty-101 Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 (edited) They do look nice to me but i think it would just preforme the same as a magura hs33 it's a waist of £135.00> Edited March 30, 2007 by dean-koxx-rider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gianttrials Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 If you look on the new magura packaging it says trials specific, and braided hosing is better as it decreases the chance of hose splitting, and I think it looks much nicer aswell,Ben G WST Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeCottTrials Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Ive had the briefest of goes on mr d watsons and i wasnt thatimpressed sure there good but are they £60 better than a magura me thinks not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskimo Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Magura with long lever, water bleed, prefered pads in cnc'd backings, braided hosing, a cross over and that would do me. £135 is so much and considering the reviews have already been partly negative it just sucks. If the brake was all what i wanted plus a booster and cnc clamps then yeah it would be worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NVWOCI WVS Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 personaly, i wouldnt knock them till i've tried one, but it does seem like a lot of money! just pimp your magura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
