WTB URGENT I need DH/FR brakes

[Rockinthecasbah]

My hfx 9 on my 7 point is dead, Ive bled it rebuilt the pistons, and I dont want to put more money into a 70 dollar brake, I need some DH brakes urgently before saturday. Anyone have anything before I go to jenosns

By a Formula K18!

Have Jensons price match Juicy 7's. I just got a rear for my new project and it's quite nice. Check pricepoint they have them on sale.

the formulas look like a decent brake how do they compare to the gnarlier DJ brakes out there

had them on my 6 point 8 before I sold it. Now there on my RIP 9 and work great.

If I ever decide to go to Walmart or Costco to by another 6 point I would use the K 18's again.

go get the avid codes.. enough said !

ive run hfx9 and avid juicy 7 and i didnt like both, i havent had any problem with my avid codes so far. good braking power and considerable amount of modulation.

Could at least get you up and running again.

yo dude seriouslly if you plan to race on a freeride or a dh rig thats over 40 lbs you need a very good pair of brakes.

quit wasting your money buying those juicy 5,7 and hfx 9's, coz at the end of the day the avid codes will top all of them.

i have tried all those brakes on my 7point and they all crap, not strong enough for stopping me, and to me those brakes are waste of money unless im using it on some xc or all mountain bikes.

the nines were plenty strong with organics I just wanted something newer and better looks like I may just bail on the BEar trip and take Liz to the zoo ,even though I am kind of a zoo keeper, instead its better that way anyways,

[newbie1kenobi]

i would consider code 5's if your kinna running short on dinero ! pretty much the same caliper just diffrent levers.
exactly the same performance and i believe this will suit you more and the type of riding you do.

[Rockinthecasbah]

yeah I may pricematch those if I cant find anyone selling anything, they look decent and I like bleeding avids vs hayes

[Mtnbkrdr98]

I have set of Hayes 9 brakes from my light freeride bike in Idaho that I don't have now. I don't need them right now. They're at my place in lake forest and I work noon to 8:30pm. I work in Cypress.

I need to sell the whole set or nothing, and have levers, calipers and rotors, 8" front and 6" rear and adapters for post mount.

I'll sell them for a good price if you need them.

i got some magura marta's if you're interested. got em from a buddy a while ago and they've been sitting in the closet since, so i dont know if they need to be bled or what. dont think so though. they were only used a few times. and the rotors are only 160 i think. not the greatest but if you just need something to hold you over till you get something better. let me know if your interested, and what you'd be willing to pay/trade for em.
