New Rim Brakes: DA9100 or Sram Axs
Moderator: robbosmans
Hello
Looking for a set of new Rim Brakes on my old Sram Red 10 Groupset
I think the first gen of sram brakes isn,t the best choice
I think the DA 9100 Series is a great choice,but now i see Sram had a new Rim brake on the market with the Axs group
Can anyone help me with my decision?
Thanks

Have you tried to service your brakes and get some new pads? That can make them work a lot better.Pinguin wrote: ↑Wed Mar 20, 2019 5:57 pmHello

Sram isn't famous for having the best braking performance but it's certainly not bad.
What rim material and pads do you use?

Rims are carbon and alu
Wipe your alloy brake tracks down with some alcohol, put some swissstop black or coolstop pads on, and last check that your calipers don't have play in its linkages by grabbing the arms at the ends and pulling/pushing. If you notice excessive play it needs to be eliminated by localizing where its created and tighten down those joints. If the calipers are dirty better clean and grease so they don't seize.
I'm running 28mm GP5000TL's with my 9000 brakes right now. Everything fits just fine.

GP5000 28 mm are actually 28mm on most wheels.
GP4000 - not so much. I think Shimano increased the clearance at the brake between generations so they could say they coped with all "28mm" tyres, but I'm not 100% sure.

If weight isn't an issue, you could also check TRP brakes
