Looking to swap out my Hope C2s and was looking for a used set of M666. A friend has offered me a very cheap set of M665's. Are they anywhere near as good? How will the compare to my much older Hope C2?

I went from Hope M4s to SLX and like them a lot better. Hopes were powerful but wooden, whereas the SLX feel better modulated. I think they'll be a definite improvement over your C2s.Current:

Had those on a Whyte 905. Excellent brakes. Have XT`s on my Zesty and there is no difference in performance - just some easier adjustability and "blingness"! You won`t go wrong with those - snap his hand off, you won`t regret it

M665's are the old style shimano brakes and aren't as good as the newer current crop of shimanos.0

They're still better than ancient Hope C2s though.Current:

£30 with rotors. Aslong as there as good as or better than my Hope C2s then they will be good enough for me0
