Hope M6 brakes - a question

The Big Cheese

I am toying with buying these for my Mythic by way of a change from Avid (all I have ever used) and fancy the M6s

Providing the hose doesn't need cutting down - are they pre-bled ready to fit?

That's one of the great things about Avid

Thanks!

they are. and i would not bother. If you want to try hope go moto.

What model nick?

nicklouse

well there is only one. the V2.

The Big Cheese

Just checking it out - whilst I am at it Nick you can help me with the mounting dilemma I face.

My Totems will only run a minimum of 203mm

Am I right in thinking that if I buy hope V2s I won't need an adapter for the front? Will fit straight on....?

If not - is this the mount I would need (I am buying from CRC and you have to choose all the elements of the brake in stages)

Front post-to-post 203mm 74mm post to 74mm post 203mm (jeez)

Phew

Deffo moto v2's but get the floating rotors (ie as standard) not the vented ones.

nicklouse

with the Totems and others that only take a min of 203mm with a post mount caliper you do not need any adapters. bolt directly onto the fork.

The Big Cheese

cool - thanks guys - shall order the weekend.

Yep - shall get the floating with a little bit of gold bling in the centre

PS i would also look at Formula's the One.

Or M4's if they're available? They've been excellent brakes for me anyway. Although Moto's do look nice.

The moto's are better than the m4's, a bit like an overpowered mini...

Ouch, if my M4's had any more power i'd be worried. They stop me (10st) easily enough anyway.

I weight over 14 stone coz I am a fatboy

Another vote for the moto, I have them on my gspot, and stop my 25st dead. but i got the vented rotors, only useful for long alpine decents
