asked by: pvanderlinden My brakes are about 8 years old and on the lever it says Hayes comp. Will this kit work?
A.
anwered by: canteau If the brakes are HFX-9's they will work. This caliper will work with the HFX-9 Generation 2 brake systems. It will also upgrade the older generation 1 caliper to Generation 2 provided that the proper hose kit is purchased.

I havent tried many disc brakes but once I tried the Hayes, it was a done deal. I like the strong feel and consistant feel. They are easy to bleed too. I have issues with this in the past and was frustrated by some other brands. I have rebuilt hayes before, they are easy to take apart, just be carefull of the brake pad pin on the piston. It doesnt take much to break it off.
The kit was great and exactly what I needed. Only thing is its not an easy repair to make. I'd recommend taking it to a professional shop rather than making the piston change yourself.
