merlin cycles have sets of magura louise bats, elixer cr's and xtrs for around 200 quid atm, so might be worth checking them out

You could try to get a set of Hope M4's for that or an M4 on the front, X2 on the rear

That would be my choice. Lovely modulation and plenty of power

I am 14 stone- using magura louise- no probs at all- and the price is more than good for this kind of braking

coxy17

i would like some hope brakes but there about 150 for just one end

peter413

look at the 2nd hand stuff.

I got an M4 in mint condition for 60 quid including rotor off here a few months ago

I'd look at the Elixir CR - light for the money.

And you'd have a warranty.

coxy17

will do

whats your opinion on the xt brakes as these are my favorite at the momant

supersonic

The latest reviews have not been too good, but many do like them. I have not tried the latest models.

coxy17

thanks for that i might have to try a few out first

'The XT's last year were not great, horrible modulation...the Hope's look nice but squeal like a pig in the wet..for the money Elixir's or the bat's...or even SLX

The Hayes range are ok however they tend to get grit in the adjusters..which can be a pain

my money would be on the bats for £200
