I thought my V's brakes were the best for my type of riding, which it was for the last year since I started it up again. I have a lot of Power, enough to put me over the handle bars, and I love to slam my front brake to lift of my rear wheel while I sit in the saddle....
...anyways, My riding style has changed a bit and I'm "braver" and getting out on Wet and partially muddy trails and V's are not made for that type of riding. I already bought some DT Swiss Disk compatible Wheels and am looking for Disk Brakes.
What should I look for? I found some great deals on AVID BB7's (around $50 each). Also I was looking at some Hayes MX 1's and 2's, also I found a really "cheap" Gator Hydraulic system in around the same price range.
I weight #180 lbs and was thinking to go with a 180mm front and 160mm rear disks. Or should I go bigger?
Any help here is welcome as I see some people who switch from V's to Disk are disappointed. Thanks in advance
BTW, I have an 08 Specialized Rockhopper, currently with a Dart 3 shock.
