Default Anyone Got Brakes They Want To Sell??

I know i shouldnt be posting this but Ive looked everywhere and cant really find anything that suits my budget. I found some good deals but they were already sold. I need a shimano BR-m755 lever and I cant find one. Ive decided to just find new REAR brakes. Does anyone have any they want to sell? I dont care if its used. Im only 140 pounds and its for the back so it doesnt need to be that strong.

Thanks

Saw this pretty good deal on Jenson:

That's about as cheap as you'll get for new hydro brakes.

Default M4s?

I have a set of Hope M4s, might be bit over kill for your weight but they are very strong and in great condition and I m only looking to get 250 for the set. PM me if you are interested.

Yeah, those should work fine, you may just need to use a different type of fitting. I think the 755's use a banjo joint, the newer ones will use a barrel type crush washer I believe.

I have a set, the roters are a bit heavy but very easy to adjust hose length, comes with a 180 rotor up front. I'm running these on a Hard tail & they have been doing a good job. Pre bled can't go wrong

IMO brakes are a component that you don't want to skip out on. Oh shiat my rear brakes are going out!!! Skip out on the fancy hubs, suspension, carbon fiber. I say this while in the back of my mind I am looking into building a new wheelset where the hubs alone may cost around 500 bones

My buddy was on STR and saw your post, and sent me this e-mail;

Mr. Maxwell,
Good evening - I was on the STR website and someone named MTB Prodigy was looking for Shimano XT brakes. I remember have a set of Shimano XT hydro levers only, not the calipers. These are the XT disc brake levers for 2005-06 year.
I also have a M952 Shimano XTR front derailleur (top swing) that I would like to sell.
Thanks,
Gunz

Let me know if you think these will work for you, and I'll see how much he wants for them.

I've got a brand new Hayes Stroker Trail brake in white. It's still in the box and I'd be looking to get $100 shipped. PM me if you're interested.
