Robodog Posted September 14, 2012 Share Ah that makes a healthy amount of sense. Do things like impacts when jumping/dropping or hitting rocks damage the engagement points? or is it more of a luck of the draw type thing? Speaking to my mechanic it's a fairly common problem on the Nukeproofs he has seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In its place is the V4, a larger and more powerful version of the M4 and capable of accepting Hopes vented rotors. Featuring longer and shallower pads with greater surface area than the outgoing brake allows all Hope brakes to now use the same depth of rotor. The new caliper is stiffer too, controlled by Hope's Tech Evo lever with bearing pivots and an increase in power of 15% thanks to revised geometry. The leading piston is 18mm while the smaller trailing is 16mm and stolen from the M4. Lighter, better performing and smoother acting, it should add up to a very high performance brake. Flat Pedals http://gp1.pinkbike.org/p5pb8621890/p5pb8621890.jpg http://gp1.pinkbike.org/p5pb8621892/p5pb8621892.jpg http://lp3.pinkbike.org/p1pb6168857/p1pb6168857.jpg It's taken a while (we first showed them here last year) but at last Hope have the production pedal ready. Although lacking a concave shape the pedal is reasonably thin and boosts grip by having sharp machined ridges in the 2014-T6 aluminium body to augment the 20 standard pins. As with all things Hope they've put a lot of effort into the sealing. This should ensure that they continue to spin freely on their Norglide bush and triple cartridge bearing arrangement, even after the ravages of a disgusting winter and regular riding in atrocious conditions.

wesley_r Posted September 26, 2012 Share Damn those pedals are nice. These wheels were supposed to be the last piece of the upgrade-my-AM-rig puzzle, but I've just come across a set of Avid Elixir 7 brakes, practically brand new (the pads look virgin) - R1 000 (without rotors). Must..... resist....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
