Which Brakes???
BMX1973:
I know some freestyle bikes did come with 890s front and rear.
Sure some of the cheaper Mongoose Freestylers came with this set up. :-\

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

You are so right about MX900/1000's, overpriced and boring, boring, boring, however there really wasn't that many other options for brakes other than DC 890's or Shimano Tourney.

Funny you mention Tourney Sean. I am just looking into those at the minute. The issue I have, it is a Freestyle F+F and quite rare, meaning it is not run of the mill so, I don't just want to throw anything on it. But, I am thinking of just throwing on some real cheap budget stuff, original items of course, not repop rubbish ;D

Describing MX brakes as boring is a modern day builders hang up. I understand that when you're building lots of bikes its nice to mix things up and thankfully for most parts there is a wide variety of options but that really isn't the case with brakes.
BITD you chose MX as they were the best brakes, if you're building a high end freestyler (and i think i know what it is) to do it justice IMO there can be only one consideration... :daumenhoch:
