These new Hope brakes then.

secondtimeuser · May 2007

How do they compare in feel to the old ones? Or are they something completely different? Like Shimano at all?

Want to give them a go, but don't want to spend the best part of œ300 on a pair and find I don't like them! And still haven't found someone elses bike to try them on either [:(]

Where are you? I haven't tried the old ones, but when the guys at my lbs, who use old hopes, tried them and all they said was wow. Really sharp but have lovely modulation. Plus they look amazing, have a sexy carbon/ti version of the minis and have lots of pretty customisable parts. Really nice.

Always remember to pick your Uni according to the local trails or you'll be stuck with nowhere to ride for three years!

If you liked the '06 hopes. you'll love these [:D] really _really_ happy with my mono m4's. awesome stopping power, the lever feels better than the avids, hayes & shimano's i've used in the past.

go buy them!

Just wondering if they've changed enough to warrant a rethink/budget [:)]

Well clearly you have no idea when you've tried a good brake then [;)]

The '06 hopes were good, if a little unreliable. the '07 ones are amazing. and i've had no trouble at all with them.

i liked the old m4s, and when i say old m4s i mean the pre mono crap they brought out a couple of years ago. I still run one of them on the keewee, i have to admit though i am quite happy with the juicy 5s on my hardtail, but i don't think they would be much cop on the keewee, as i just dont think they would be powerful enough to stop a tank like that with a fat barsteward like me on it

the 07 monos are immense. had a ride of a bike with them on, normal pressure on the front brake as i use to slow normally, it locked the front wheel.

they are rather good this time round.

 MON BICI!!
