Those brakes looks so rad! Would have never thought that I might come back to hayes one day
But let’s see how well they perform against a CODE.
I prefer Avid.
They look good&feel better than Hayes,
also a price is balanced!
How do you know if they aren’t out yet…
looks good but they will find it hard to overcome avid and shimano with all the varities of brakes that they are coming up with
i would prefer a shimano brake over any hayes any day
Of course, I don’t know about them.
But it compares with the former’s to the last.
Figures, right after I upgrade from the old 9’s to Stroker Trails they go and do this.
My Codes are being replaced with Aces. ASAP. Cannot wait!
looking good - got a pair of codes and a pair of trails. If the trails didn’t have such a creaky lever and odd pull to them, i’d be running them over the codes - better modulation, and only slightly less total stopping power.
Can’t wait to try the ace! Hayes is making a comeback from the POS brake dept!
