For its frst mineral fuid-flled brake, Hayes has hit it out of the park. These bargain brakes offer incredibly easy setup and a robust build. Even though the hardware is simple – just a bolt with a single washer – the calipers didn’t migrate at all when I was cinching them down. This is due in part to the side-mounted setscrews that Hayes calls the ‘Crosshair Alignment System.’ Adjusting the setscrews is easy and cuts down signifcantly on time spent tuning out rotor rub.
