Thanks Matt, mighty decent of you

Did you see my question in BFG's Marin thread about the Hope brakes?

mattv@gacycles

yes the tech m4 will work a bit better then the tech 2 but depends if your riding lots of dh or just xc you could run a m4 front and 2 on the back
I find the 183mm front and 160 rear tech2 more than powerfull amuff for xc and med dh use

oo mat ya have ggave me and idea now. will haveto chat about watya just posted next time i am in the shop budd

Regarding the brakes, I dont think it's just a case of what type of riding anyone does. If your chunky, like me, then M4s F+R might be the better option. Also, the bigger the rotor, the more stopping power.
I don't know exactly how much heavier M4s are over the X2s, but this can be negated somewhat by using the floating rotors.

i think a little boit of wheight aitn an issue wen ya liek me and weigh 23 stone lmfao infact to me the extra weight just means a little more strentgh . my marin has been built with this in mind. but i am gonna speak to the lads in the sho about the m4's

just had a look on hopes web site the M4's look way better twin pistons may be a little over kill on tails bt i think there wat i want. just cz they look meety as fook

It'll be interesting to find out what you end up with - don't forget to post the outcome.

Oh and btw are you rat-arsed at the mo?

no mate i just have fat fingers and fingers cant spell.

i think ia m gonna end up with tthe M4's chap they just look heavtyer. and being 23 stone thats wat i need. they look way cooler aswell. tey still come with the sexy brake levers tho
