What other hydraulic rim brakes are there?

orange71 · Apr 14, 2008

we all know Magura, but what else is there?

Just seen these Wendler V ones in another thread. I also remember some orange coloured ones from a few months ago on here, Starbike I think they were. Can't find any pix.

ah, Wendler and Starbike may be one and the same

here we are

now were there any others? If not why not? Magura have shown it's a great concept? Did they wrap up all the intellectual property?

In the trials world you've got the very spendy and bling Echo brakes, and aftermarket levers like Adamant:

£130 each for basically a posher version of the magura :shock:

and it looks like the frame has to have some pretty specific mounts!

Can't remember the make but I've seen CNC lever upgrades for Magura which just use the master cylinder from the original and CNC mounts and stuff for the slaves.

I'm sure they came in lots of colours too. :?

At the moment I'm considering these for the Clockwork.......

I mean...........what more could you want??

Yeah, they're really just very posh Magura copies. If I were richer than I am, I'd be tempted to spend my pocket money on a set, just for the sheer unholy bling of them - a gold Echo trials bar, silver lever bodies and gold Adamant blades!

The mount is just the old 4-bolt Magura mount that has never gone away in the trials world. Pace frames and forks came with them way back. You can still buy the braze-on parts from Magura for steel frames. The Echo pistons will fit any standard Magura mount - 4-bolt, EVO, EVO2, etc.

IBC

last year I bought a Fat Chance Shock-a-Billy with these IBC brakes on it. They were looking quite nice, completely cnc-machined...also with a skeewer on the booster similar to the Magura idea
.....but I could not find any information in the web and finally sold it on ebay
:cry:
