Welcome to the Forum

Ok, so I went on a pretty intense ride today, and I have the Hayes Nine hydraulic brakes. I just gotta say, I'm not impressed. Hayes kinda sucked a big one on those.

Does anyone have any preferences when it comes to the brakes? From what my buddies say, Avid is the way to go. I had some cheap Tektro Aurigas on my other bike, and they were satisfactory.

The brakes I'm really wondering about are the Avid Elixir Fives. I just found some for cheap, and didn't want to pass them up so I bought them. Any reviews? Thanks!
