looking for a set for general XC work on fsr elite. Im a heavyweight so they need to be fairly robust albiet I am a smooth rider and not overly agressive on them.
im also a tight git so possible to get front and rear bundle for sub£100?
plenty on the website for that but I am not up to speed on whats good and whats not so looking for advice please.
I do like the fit and forget reliability I have had from Shimano in the past.
SLX or XT if you're feeling flush.
Do you want a set of Avid XO trail brakes for £100? Pm me if so.
Shimano all the way. Subtle differences from Deore to XT but they all work well
Deore, SLX or XT.
Deore can be had for £100 inc. rotors. Brilliant value for money.
If you're not fussed about bling and weight Shimano BR-M447 from Rose Bikes - about £25is an end without rotors but you might be able to reuse what you have. They work well enough and I am a heavy lump!
N.B. These will come with the levers the wrong way around - one way up lever. It is not hard to change them over but you will need a Shimano bleed funnel thing to help and some mineral brake oil. Assuming you haven't already got them.

I picked up some XT for £100. No rotors though.
Haven't used any Shimano brakes other than my XT ones but I'm very happy with them. There's not much difference between those and SLX, which come in just under £100 without rotors.
Shimano all the way, whatever you can get for your budget.
Shimano for sure.
kind of confirmed my fondness for Shimano, thanks peeps 🙂
