Which Brakes???

(1/4) > >>

Gnarlyscoots:
Apart from the usual MX1000/900's and Tech 3's, which brake set would you recommend for an '84 build??

Front and rear.

BMX1973:
I've always liked 1020s and 890s with prebents.

Then again maybe Shimano levers for 84. Prefer the SX which were two tone over the DX.

Gnarlyscoots:
Cheers bro. Would those calipers work on a freestyle bike? The levers wouldn't I know though  :D

MartyC:
For freestyle you need brakes with a little more grunt so to speak.  MX900/1000s are way better the 890s or 1080s for freestyle if à little later than 84 you could go the Odyssey 1999/2000 option.

Gnarlyscoots:
Yer I know Marty. I just din't want to go the MX1000/900 route as, quite frankly, they are overpriced and boring. Everybody has them on everything and just thought maybe I should try something a little different. The trouble is, I am date OCD at the moment  :D   ;D
