    I have Formula Puro's on my Meta 5.5.Went down some black DH runs in Wharncliffe this weekend. Awesome stopping power on 1 finger braking and i run a 180 on the front and 160mm on the back. Formulas get good results on tests.K24's came out tops in recent What MTB group test. Main reason was lack of brake fade and good temperature control. I know a lot of people have Hope's but 2 major retailers of good high street and online standing have told me they are shite. They are the brake which they most have in for repairs on bikes. Not my opinion, theirs. :?

    Puro's are mad light,Carbon lever, Ti bolts, kevlar hoses. K18's don't have feeling control lever for bite setting like avid's. K24's upwards do. Look on ebay i saw a Greg Minaar ltd edtion set going pretty cheap a few days back.

    1 finger on DH runs? Awesome! :D
    My K18's will arrive on tuesday I hope! Would have taken the K24 but I'll keep 2x30 Euro rather than have the FCS, I like simplicity :)
    I just wonder whether you get a Torx T25 screwdriver included in the kit, or do I have to visit the hardware store?

    get a proper torx tool from a hardware store as the liittle tools are very poor and cause more damage than they do good.

    and Warnclffe DH is not that big or long compared to some most of europe.
