i run a fly on my blackbike and a ad990 on my holmes, tbh as alex says most u brakes will work well if dialled in properly and i dont notice much difference between the two, according to fly the reason fly brakes cost so much is down to the 6 hours it takes to cnc machine one from a block of alloy, this makes them less prone to flexing than a cast alloy brakei also had a s&m revenge sealed bearing brake and although it was smoother due to using bearings rather than brass inserts i found it looked cheap due to using diacompe ad partspersonally i think what type of brake blocks you use are more important than the actual brake itself, hence why i use kool stops on both my bikes
now i just need to learn some front brake lip tricks
whats them?
feck i'm going to get mullered trying that
As above, pleasurable but scary trick. I ride into 'em as if doing a normal nosepick but at take off i lock both arms pretty straight and hop a little higher, always get on the coping nicely but it feels like more luck than judgement shimano cantis up front btw
