The new Dyno brake from Hayes is an economical stopper that not only retails for an impressive $79 USD per end, but also comes with a lifetime leak proof warranty. The lever is a simple and study unit that features adjustable reach.
The Dyno caliper and lever uses the same fittings to bleed, as well as the same simple process as previous Hayes models. While the new brake will be an original equipment model only for the upcoming year, you can expect it to be packaged for retail sales by 2012.
Those who have been patiently waiting for Hayes to release the Prime to the public should be happy to hear that that day is now here. The Prime's poppet cam technology lets the user adjust the dead stroke (otherwise known as bite point) easily and without tools. The poppet cam allows riders to bring the bite point farther out or closer to the bar depending on their preference simply by rotating the small aluminum lever 180 degrees. This, combined with the anodized aluminum reach adjustment dial, should allow every rider to find a lever position that they feel comfortable with.

Mechanical disc brakes are more powerful than a lot of hydraulics.
if you need to bleed your Avid brakes after every ride, its simply because you cannot bleed your Avid brakes properly?
take your Avid brakes to an experienced Avid wrench and have them properly bled, you will not have any issues...
I have been running Avid Juicy 7s and Elixirs for many years and have not had any issues because I know how to bleed them
I also owned many pairs of Hayes HFX-Mag, HFX-9s and El Caminos and have nothing good to say about any of those brakes, especially in the long term where the ceramic pistons / seals degenerated and made the brakes work horribly...

but i have to say that im a dissatisfied customer. i had a hayes stroker that came with my 2009 reign X2 and they suck i replaced them right away within a month or 2 of use every weekend. broken in? yes. to the point where the rotors got burnt and i smell brake pads on every run i had. may not be the right brake for the type of riding that im doing but OMG, to be able to push my bike uphill with the brake levers pulled really hard and i can still push my bike to the top of the hill is plain stupid. i probably got a lemon but that's both the front and rear brakes so, i'd say hayes is SHIT in my books. so this leak warranty they're offering doesn't add any value if the brakes don't even work in the first place.
