Guess what brakes I have?

[jonathan_sykes81]

Anyone who can guess wins absolutely nothing? Except proving you are a bike nerd like the rest of us.

[Neccros]

Magura??

[mcgrath]

hopes?

[dubjay]

Hayes - or older Avids.

Maguras are usually wavy I think...

Here's a bonus question - guess what brand of brakes here

[OldDogDan]

Owwww!! Formula Oro? Crash or carelessness?

[jonathan_sykes81]

OldDogDan...Formula it is. Not a crash, just carelessness, was waiting at the bottom of a downhill for the rest of the group and leaned the bike against my leg and need less to say it didn't stay against my leg too long.


And dubjay, my guess is going to be Hope's for yours, the three holes look just like some Hope's.

I was gonna guess, but I saw your bike Sunday morning, so I figured that wouldn't be fair.

I had one of those "custom rotor tats" a year or so ago. Thank goodness it faded away.

Close! This was actually from a Shimano rotor circa 2004. I was coming down some singletrack and and saw someone coming up, so I stopped and for some reason I decided to dismount off the back..and a second later, I smelled burning hair and flesh.

Luckily it wasn't permanent. Healed up quite nice. Shower time will be a challenge though.
