Primer

Hi guys. I need some guidance please. I want to buy a new set of disc brakes as my currents one, shimano m785, just don't do it for me anymore. I've narrowed it down to the following, what do u guys suggest Hope tech 3 E4 Shimano m8120 4 piston Shimano m8120 4 piston Formula cura 4 Im keen on the hopes, but have always ridden shimano. I've got 200mm front and 180 rear ice tech rotors and my weight is approx 100kg.

I have a similar issue, but with a hope pro 4 hub, as soon as I fit it to the frame the freebody tightens up, anybody had this issue on a hope hub?

South Africa don't recognise FCC as we fall under the EMEA region. To get something type approved with ICASA you would need the CE certificates which are the European standards and checks. If you submit a item to ICASA with FCC approval certificates you are going to wait a hell of a long time and more than likely you will have to submit extra paperwork.

Yip, the Santa Cruz 5010 was my inspiration - just love that Blue

Tyrone - search for "the vinyl guy" here on the hub
