    Magura all the way. Powerful and very reliable. I've always found hope brakes OK but a little unreliable. Hope brakes seem to need more bleeding for some reason.

    I haven't used Oros but I have never heard a bad thing about them and was aiming to get a set around Xmas.

    Nick, which do you use? Was thinking about the K18s as they seem to be the same basic brake as the 24s etc but without the bells and whistles.

    you got it right as the UK importers will do the K18's with the adjuster if you ask.

    i have 2 sets of K24's one set 160mm discs and the other 203mm discs.
