    I need to upgrade my brakes on my mtb. I have cable operated clarkes brakes, but would like something better. I have about 130 - 150 to spend, and would need front and rear. Any suggestions?

    Shimano SLX Lenny, good value, tough and easy to bleed.

    After destroying an expensive Hope front disk in a rocky gully, I installed Magura HS33s: brilliant.

    Rather then just getting a new disc? The HS33s are powerful brakes, but they still have most of the disadvantages of any rim-brake in mucky conditions.

    SLX are a good choice if you're keeping cost under control.

    For a budget set up you couldn't wrong with this offer - €115.00 Inc rotors! I had Juicy 3s in the past and they were great!
