My brakes have become more mushy than one of those half eaten cucumbers that have been left in the fridge, forgotten about, for weeks, anyway you get the picture. Time to sort them out.

Only thing I don't like about mine is that it doesn't have a pressure gauge but its only my trail side repair pump, I have a proper track pump for when I want to be anal about my tyre pressure

Nice, good choice. If I was ever to swap my Pikes, these would be the ones I swapped for.

Awesome price too!

Thanks, I have Pikes on my AM bike and I rate them. I was going to buy Pikes for the 456 but I was informed that the Revelations are better suited to a long travel HT
As for the price, wow, how could I say no at under £320?

It's alu for sure. My fellow MTB loving workmates were quite impressed with them.
They're OEM, didn't come in an RS box, but were well packed, came with manuals, spacers, Poploc and RS decal. Also got the [standard] RS 2 year warranty leaflet too
All in a good deal for the price.. and I still cannot get over how light they are.
