Replacing Formula ORO 18 with Hope Tech M4

Eskimo427

Would I be able to remove the old calipers and just screw on the new ones without having to replace discs and mounts?

Thanks

It should be possible. But don't Exocet any improvement in braking.

It is still hard to better the Oros.

I'd swap if I wanted a heavier, more expensive brake that wasn't as powerful ;-)

what about Shimano's Saints?

My reason for changing the ORO's is the front has never been that great some reason and now I need to get a washer for it as fluid is leaking out. I've read parts for Formula brakes can be difficult to get, although We Love Lapierre assure me otherwise.

I'm now weighing up options to change them.

Thanks

might this be the reason for the poor performance?

Get the brakes sorted before you buy anything else, it may just be they need servicing.

I've no experience of Formula brakes, but I'm happy with my m4's.
