 Gary is right.The Ridea and Bombshell CNC ones are ok,as are the Box ones but don`t work any better than a DXR.As for the Speedline & Gusset-avoid,proper trash:)

I had a set of the Clarkes ones on my 2015 ripper and they were really powerful (but very expensive) Avid single digit work well and are cheap as chips  :daumenhoch:

trying to go close to the era or just whatever?

Biggest thing ive found that makes a difference is the lever.
Can feel a massive change going from different styles.
