I am stripping down my bike and i have some HS33s fitted on it. Just got our 6 year old a new bike and the brakes are pretty useless (but probably fine for him). Should i put my HS33s on his bike?

Found they were the best solution for my sons bike, came with V's but could never find a way of getting them to work with little power coming from his hands. Now he's on HS33's he's skidding everywhere, which is costing me in tyres 🙄

Not quite, but almost the same, I changed fadda jnr's cable discs for juicy 3's, and it's transformed his confidence.

Not overkill, in my view.

Those are the replies i was hoping for 🙂

Seemed to be talking myself out of it as it would be overkill/pointless/too much. Glad my thinking is justified.

why not? just make sure he's not too hamfisted when using them.
my sons on cable discs at the moment but i've got a frame and fork waiting to be built with hydraulic discs
