Just fitted Hope M4s to my Superlight

Quite pleased with myself. Never bled a brake before, let alone shorten the hoses, but did both to my new M4s. I think the cable runs are quite tidy - there's a slight twist on the rear at the lever end, probably when I tightened them up. I'll leave it though since they are all bled and ready to go.

Fitted elixirs to my other halves bike, shortening the cables etc for the first time too, its actually surprisingly easy isnt it.

Nice bike btw

Yes. Quite easy. Bit time consuming. And of course, requires the purchase of the right tool for the job.

Just out of interest, why M4s? My X2s have enough power to send you over the bars...

Prices were similar. Wasn't concerned about weight - it's a trail bike. I'd read mixed reviews regarding power for both X2 and M4. Erred on the side of safety with the M4s. So far they aren't super powerful, but they are still bedding in.

getting them aligned is the hard part on m4's... should have super duper stopping power bud..
