    I have the Mono 4 's and are simply fab. You may also need floating rotors too
    These stop me dead, just a fab brill brake.

    The new Haye's Strokers are ment to be good too,

    the Oros. lighter and have more power than you need.

    My Momo M4's sucked.

    Hope mono's are ok for XC, nothing more. The power is somewhat lacking in the minis. The m4's are powerful but not everyone likes the feel of them. Don't know about Oros but hey have very good reivews

    I wouldnt say mono minis lack power, especially with a 180mm rotor they managed to stop my heft without even breaking into a sweat in all conditions.

    If i was building a FR rig i would fit M4's if the mono minis are anythin go go by, slightly heavier but twice the cylinders and the best modulation of all the hydro discs ive tried by far.

    Oro's.

    Nothing but problems with mono/mini's and m4.
    The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it.
