Hi all
I'm thinking about getting disc brakes for my mountain bike (a Trek 6500) - been getting into off road biking lately and am getting through the V-brake pads pretty quickly.
I'm thinking of going hydraulic, but don't have a huge budget so am looking at relatively cheap options like Magura Julie or Avid Juicy 3. Does anybody have these (or similarly priced) brakes and have anything good or bad to say about them? I guess what I want to know is what to expect from cheaper disk brakes - are these good value, and what do the higher end brakes offer that these don't?
cheers
Helen
