MTB Disc Brakes – Hydraulic or mechanical type?
You'd like to change your braking system of your bike? You'd like to get a better performance on your brakes? So get MTB disc brakes to your bike. But be prepared to spend some money on your mtb disc brakes and the stuff that belongs to it.
There are two common types of mtb disc brakes, mechanical (cable-actuated) and hydraulic. Slight difference between these two types are relevant.
Here are the main differences:
Actuation: Both systems use brake levers to start the braking process. The mechanical disc brakes use brake levers to give the cable a tug. The cable forces the mtb brake pads against a surface, known as the rotor or disc. The hydraulic disc brakes use brake levers to compress a fluid that will move the pads against the rotor.
Weight: Fluid vs. Cable. The fluid will be heavier then the cable and so the hydraulic mtb disc brakes will weigh more. It's not very much but there is a difference. If you want to have the lightest brakes try to use V-brakes.
Performance: The hydraulic mtb disc brakes will perform better then the mechanical type. This is because the fluid reacts faster then a cable that is pulled. Also the cable can rip apart and you will lose all the braking power.
Price: Of course better performance will cost more. New hydraulic mountain bike disc brakes will be a shade higher in price as the mechanical mtb disc brakes.
Now it's up to you. See the links listened below if you still need additionally information.
