brakes

[konabiker7]

What brakes does everyone recomend for my Hardtail(sputnik w/ dj1)? I was trying to decided between some cheapo mechanical disk brakes or some nice avid rim brakes. If i got rim brakes I would obviously have to get a new wheelset, if i do, what does everyone recomend? mamouth, rhyno lite, rhyno XL. what hub? so what does everyone think?

go with the avid mechanical, you can't go wrong. Cheap, low maintnence, and more powerfull than many hydros on the market. Done and done.

know of anyone sellin a cheap 6" front disk brake and adapter for a zocchi 20mm fork?
or where is the best online shop to buy one?

Out of www.go-ride.com , www.jensonusa.com , www.supergo.com and www.pricepoint.com pricepoint has the best prices on the avid mech.

sickness, thanks guys

tom, how much you want for youre wheelset? what wheelset do you eactly have? i want to still have a 24" rear, but i might buy ur front wheel.

i have a rear 26" rhino lite with a deore hub (non disc) i have a front rhino lite 26" with a deore standard qr not 20 mm

i also have a rhino lite 26" laced to a un named hub and it is in great condition(ask nick b he might know i bought it from him) that i might be willing to trade to you for ur front wheel and i might give you some cash for it too

lemme kno if u are interested

no way, if i get the stab, I am going to put it on that and sell the 521 prolly.
I really like that d321 i bought its just not what i need for that bike sorry. I need a DISK 20mm front wheel, i do not have brake bosses on the dj1, sorry tom.

I would def go with disk brakes. The avids are pretty ding dang darn cheap. Id also advise to stay away from rims brakes unless you dont plan on riding too fast.
