Entry Level Compact Mechanical disc brake with progressive friction material pads for improved modulation. XC riders will enjoy the lightweight 6in rotor and DH and Freeride riders will love the power of the 8in rotors

Pros: reliable, extreme brakeing power for machanical
Cons: i have found no cons atal
Time Used: 1 Year
Comments: after my one years experience with these brakes i think they are extremly relyable and the bakeing power is very good, the secret to keeping yor mx2 braking power nice and sharpe is useing isopropyl alchol on yor disc rotor and pads, wich is advised by the manual for the mx2 on the hayes web site.

Pros: Adisc is better than v-brakes
Cons: Brakes whine and squeal, difficult to adjust, shudder when stopping.
Time Used: Less Than A Month
Comments: Once you've used Avid mechanicals, any other mechanical disc just cannot compare. These brakes came with the bike, so I had no choice, but believe the cost of upgrading to Avid is well worth the money.
