in general, a square tube resists bending the best, and a cylinder resists torsion the best. the helix combines both properties.

I think... M575 is better and it is not expensive, around RM200.
Link>>> M575 White/Gold

from the review, to get better brake force, they suggest to use bigger rotor together with m575.
what is the disadvantage of using bigger rotor ? hmm.gif weight different too significant ka ?

just do my budget to upgrade from vbrake to disc brake. currently using xt vbrake and stx hub.

deore hub - RM180 smile.gif
M545 white/gold - RM230 laugh.gif
Rotor - RM80(second hand -big one tongue.gif )

RM490 cry.gif

any idea how I can cut more cost. selling my old set will earn me rm150 or less.. sweat.gif .

Do you really need to upgrade your XT V-brakes to M545 Disc-brakes?
I'm sure that if you change the XC V-brake pads, you'll notice quite a noticeable difference.
Also, V-brakes are much lighter than Disc-brakes. However, V-brakes don't work as well as Disc-brakes under wet/muddy conditions (which I doubt you'll find yourself caught in, unless you go for a Mud-Fest).
Just my 2 cents.

XC=cross country, light, racy geometry, body positioned forward, good for flat and climbs. handlebar usually flat and not wide, long and flat/lowered stem, short fork (80-100mm) good for FRIM and jamborees/hashes, can do kiara with practice
AM=all mountain, can climb and descend, body position more straight up, riser bar, short stem, abit heavy, 120-160mm fork, can say all rounder.
DH=downhill, cant climb unless ur a mountain goat, heavy, body position almost vertical, , wide high rise handle bar, short/direct stem, long fork,good for going downhill
trail=in between XC and AM, 100-140mm fork, good for kiara too.
abit general la, may vary.
some brands already got sell 2010 models in july edi laugh.gif
