    some people have said the tech x2 have a bit of a wooden feel, formula get consistant good reviews and are rated pretty highly, the avid elixir brakes are also work a look.

    Really enjoying my T2's at the moment. Can't fault them...
    09 - Santa Cruz Heckler
    03 - Trek 8500
    95 - P7 (Dead, but I loved it)
    Year dot - Alpine Stars CR300 - Still going strong...

    I upgraded to elixirs last month - and for the money i'm extremely pleased! 185mm front and rear, and can't see hwy you would need any more braking than that.

    awesome

    I would consider the XT brake set from Merlin cycles - excellent stoppers!!!

    Or how about the SLX set - you could save a few-bob here and spend the rest on shiny new bits! :wink:

    I have had hope, and although good - I am not sure they are worth the moment (I have V2s on my Marin at the moment - they would stop a transit van in full motion) :lol:
