New brakes day!

I was inspired by /u/leasedimension bike and got a set of Magura MT7 Raceline for my bike.
I know they’re not special brakes in any way, they technically are just regular MT7 with special paint on them. And MT7 aren’t that much better than the MT5 that I had before. But I love how they look and I’ve seen too many Danny MacAskill videos not to fall in love with them. Plus, you don’t see too many of these around.

I like how they shine through and are completely noticeable from the drive side 😁

Bike is a 2022 Hightower CC, anyway it’s the last batch of the V2s because despite earlier V2 it’s got UDH. I built it from the ground up and got it exactly how I wanted it (well I still had to keep budget under control).

Some could say I could have wasted less money in the brakes and invested that in the fork and get something with a GRIP2 or something more exotic than a Fox, but this puny Performance model works well and I can’t find any fault to it. Next money I will waste on this bike could be a couple of carbon hoops.

Bonus pic for my other Raceline-equipped bike, it’s the bike I had when I was a young boy and it got recently completely overhauled. It’s now my bike to get around town and touring. Magura HS are so much better than cantilever brakes.
