    The ones on my cake are HAYES and they are not made anymore, looking at either Shimano or Magura to replace them. The discs themselves are apparently the original Bontrager ones and according to my local bike shop mechanic they are, and I quote, "f***ing bombproof mate!".
    I can get a hold of a set of HAYES levers but parts are getting scarce, whereas Shimano and Magura are easier to come by...

    It is important that we know where we come from, because if you do not know where you come from, then you do not know where you are, and if you don't know where you are, then you don't know where you are going. If you don't know where you're going, you're probably going wrong.

    I'm looking at keeping the discs and switching to using a wire cabling system to operate them or sticking with hydraulics and using either Shimano or Magura or other lever and tubing set...
    Will check out the Clarks you mentioned as I'm sure I've heard that they are compatible with HAYES too. Cheers ;)
