Hope M6 brakes - a question

I am toying with buying these for my Mythic by way of a change from Avid (all I have ever used) and fancy the M6s
Providing the hose doesn't need cutting down - are they pre-bled ready to fit?
That's one of the great things about Avid
Thanks!

they are. and i would not bother. If you want to try hope go moto."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

What model nick?0

well there is only one. the V2."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

Just checking it out - whilst I am at it Nick you can help me with the mounting dilemma I face.
My Totems will only run a minimum of 203mm
Am I right in thinking that if I buy hope V2s I won't need an adapter for the front? Will fit straight on....?
If not - is this the mount I would need (I am buying from CRC and you have to choose all the elements of the brake in stages)
Front post-to-post 203mm 74mm post to 74mm post 203mm (jeez)

Deffo moto v2's but get the floating rotors (ie as standard) not the vented ones.0
-
with the Totems and others that only take a min of 203mm with a post mount caliper you do not need any adapters. bolt directly onto the fork."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

cool - thanks guys - shall order the weekend.
Yep - shall get the floating with a little bit of gold bling in the centre0 -
PS i would also look at Formula's the One."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

Or M4's if they're available? They've been excellent brakes for me anyway. Although Moto's do look nice.0

The moto's are better than the m4's, a bit like an overpowered mini...0

Ouch, if my M4's had any more power i'd be worried. They stop me (10st) easily enough anyway.0 -
I weight over 14 stone coz I am a fatboy0

Another vote for the moto, I have them on my gspot, and stop my 25st dead. but i got the vented rotors, only useful for long alpine decents0
