Hayes Dominion Brakes First Ride

[@tomek6481]

After testing couple of sets like formula, sram, Shimano magura, those are number 1 I’m totally agree with your opinion. After first testing the power of Hayes my feelings was” wow be careful!”

@@tomek6481 i Need more time on them, but it's very noticeable.

Thanks 😁

Thanks for your video. I have not heard it in your clips... but have you experienced any brake squeel? My set started squeeling fairly early into the rides... without any visible contamination on the pad or disc. And yes, I have bed them in properly (also removed the pads and redone the process a number of times). I initially thought the crosshair adjustment on the caliper was a good idea but found it a bit of a gimmick to be honest. Other than that, I love the lever feel and modulation, and minimal dead-stroke. I'm not a fan of the nasty DOT fluid, and that's the only thing (+squeel) I would like these not have.

@DebowyMocny to fix squeal normally something between the pads and caliper piston. graphite grease helps. Mine have squealed once on rear.

I'm bummed nobody lists clamping force at max lever stroke, that would be an interesting test since modulation or lack thereof seems to be the gauge for "powerful" brakes. When I tried the maven I was expecting the Earth to start rolling backyard but tbh what I got is the feel that they require much more input force than other brakes, by feeling I don't get more clamping force than with most other recent brake systems I've tried.

[@alexbiketester]

clamping force of the hayes is good, it touches the discc then you can pull without too much harsh ness and it locks..... I will be looking at that in the full test.

So I could not stop! 180 rear xt saint 203 xt Front! So I changed to Formula 203 rear xt saint and 220 cura4, then I could stop. Cura4 felt spongy! Went to Verbier and tested different bike with Cura4 front and rear, they stop but just feel spongy. Then they had the same bike but with Beringer brakes. WOW! crisp communicative, not tried trickstuff or Hayes but they are going to have to be amazing to beat the Beringer braves.
