Anyone know anything about disc brakes?

Juintech.

An option, but I only need the rear and bike value is ~£400.

Best mechanical disc and simple to set up.

BB5s w/ compressionless outers.

Won't be as good as your HY/RD but far cheaper than Juin Tech etc.

Thanks for advice, I ordered a Spyre yesterday. Hadn't considered anything Shimano, forgot about anything Avid.

if I am using R785 with Hope RX4 do I use BH90 of BH59? cc/ @snottyotter

They originally come with BH59, so that I guess but whatever you've got or can get will be fine.

thank you xo

😘

So BH90 stuff is fine in BH59 rated levers? Tried the other way round, was useless.

I'm not certain on any of this but I've shmushed together a fair few and they've all seemed to work fine. I've probably done it more BH90 on BH59 "rated" stuff, I get the impression if it's not working it's not the hose's fault. With hope calipers you're already using something that apparently doesn't care what hose is used so have at it.

How easy are Magura brakes to bleed. I got some cheap and the hoses are way too long; trying to decide if they go to the LBS or not.

The good news is once you’ve done it right you never need to do then again…

Which model?

Trail something or other. I’ve already dropped the new LBS a line to ask if they can do it.

Unless your lbs has done these before there’s a 110% probability of them ducking it up.

I want to have a bash, how hard can it be?

I tried. Fucked it up

Just go 90 and you'll be fine, it's silly why 59 is still a thing.

New LBS workshop guy mostly fits Magura on custom builds so he reckons he's got it sorted. Lets see in a week or so...

Does anyone have a spare rear flat mount disc adapter? I’d like to swap my sram 140 rotors to 160 rotors. Thanks :)

Probably got a spare at work but no guarantees, remind me on Monday at about 1100 and I'll check if you've not found one by then.

Never touched hydraulic brakes before, and I need to bleed a rear, it's Shimano Ultegra rs685 shifters and disc calipers.

Is this something I should even attempt if I've never done it before, or should I just hand it over to the LBS. They quoted 1.5 hours of workshop time to fix.

I like to tell people it could take longer if things don't go to plan and make sure people are prepared for that, but an hour and a half (£80ish at my rates) is a bit much for one brake, if things go well I'd say it's a half an hour job including getting the bike in the stand etc. It's not that hard really, I'd buy a bleed kit (epicbleedsolutions.com) and carefully have a go, then if you fuck it up take it to a different shop.

I think I'm going to give it a go. On the epicbleedsolutions, there's two Shimano kits, but neither mention RS685, one appears a generic pack the other mentions specific Shimano models, am I safe to assume #1 is the correct kit
