if you know quality you don't need to look at the back of a fake and a real dc mx1000 to tell whats what  :P

hey, I have no doubt dude, i've had some mx1000 and no question the DC mx1000s look the f***ing bollox.
but they just aren't very good are they?

for a show bike they are the best. but for a rider there's so much better out there.

i tell you what i like about Dc brakes though, even the 901s, you get all the little bitsd and pieces, cables clips, ends, those little placcy DC things
for the bolts.

you can;t fault the attention to detail.....now where's me bulldogs.

The Burner King:
Mx1000's with the original brake pads work great on UKAI rims. But with mags they don't work well no matter what pads you use.

HARORIDER:
i found that bitd acs z pads used to work better than skyway blocks-i don't think it's so much the brakes but the compound of the rubber in the blocks ;)

GREMLIN:
I'm running the Mx1000 with Dia Compe blocks on my PL-20.
I've had two sets of rims on there so far, polished Araya 7x and currently polished Araya Aeros.
Not had any isues with stopping at all... One brake on rear and me weighing in about 12.5 st.
It's getting caught up all the time that gets on my t1ts  :knuppel2:
I've tried pedals with longer throw spindles to try and move my footprint out away from the calliper.

Can see it being thrown into the back of the cupboard and I'll go with an 890.  >:D  G.
