Opinions on Hayes HMX-1 Mechanical Disc Brakes?
Anyone here fun the, or have any opinions on them, there selling cheap on
jensonusa. Correct me if I'm wrong but all Hayes disc breaks mount directly to Manitou forks, such as my Black? Would anyone have a website that explains mounting... TIA, Dave |

Would anyone have a website that explains mounting... Been running a pair on my Jekyll for 1-1/2 years now. Working VERY well! My only complaint is that they have a tendency to squeel if they get any contamination (oil) on the rotor (mud'll fix it ). Although the Hayes pads are good, I prefer EBC green -- they have less of a tendency to squeel. They require that you have v-brake levers already. I'm using XTR combo levers (with the rapid-fire shifter pods). They mount by getting the correct adapter bridge for the caliper to mount to your fork. I don't know which one takes no adapter. David |

In fact, I like these a bit better, with the cable routing and such. I went by the instruction sheet just to be sure the first time through, but they can be set up in your sleep.
