questions for front and rear brake users.

(1/3) > >>

Boomhauer:
So. I plan to do another 2 brake bike and want some ideas on what to use, I have Revenge brakes for the rear and a monolever small lever for the front but need front brakes, fresh pads for both, a rear brake lever and cable  and advice on whether to buy a new wire, inner liner and aluminum bits for my Nokon front brake cable or just get something else, also.. Odyssey gtx-r still the best gyro?

Suggestions on brake stuff and forks with brake mounts would be appreciated.

Thanks guys.

Here's what I use, I never have any problems. Everything runs smooth, I use this purple lube in my cables and chain.

Suelo front brake. Nothing else comes close. Love my eclat lever, would recommend. For cables and detangler I use Impurity, pretty good but hard to get. I would get a snafu system

GUMP_:
I like the evo2 for the front. Comes with everything you need to run fronts.

I'm running evo2 in the front, fly Classico in the back using odyssey cables and dirt Harry levers

dude...:
evos are decent on the front, might not be as good as the suelo, not sure cos ive never used one
