Duane_Bosch Posted March 3, 2018 Share Anyone keen to buy a set of Hope M4's or swap for xt/xtr? No offers is Avid please I'd rather have clap. I think 4 pot brakes are not really optimal for the type of riding I do. Nofearnofun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to be giving the Magura Trails a try next (4 pot front, 2 pot rear). Duane_Bosch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddy Gordo Posted March 3, 2018 Share I wanted to buy those, but opted for guides at half the price. Maybe somewhere down the line I will change. Have read lots of good stuff about those magura's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just make sure you can get spare pads and Magura Royal Blood. I picked up a few sets on my last trip so all good for a while. Also they do prefer/recommend that you use the Magura Storm HC rotors as they are slightly thicker than others....I've run stock Shimano's 203's up front and 180 rear but couldn't say no to a free upgrade from the Magura rep in Les Gets during the PDS!!! The MT Trails have no Contact Pad Adjustment but I've found that even on the MT 7, the travel is only about 5% so its not as good as the SRAM equivalents that are really noticeable. But that is a minor compared to the excellent modulation and feel from the brakes.....the power comes on immediately but nice and easy while feathering the lever and goes hard when stomp down on them! And no squealing!!! Even in the wet! CWC are selling the Shimano and SRAM clamp convertors as well so you can hang your deraillers from them as well PS: the 4 Pot set takes 4 x small, separate pads but there is also a single set type ie 2 x pads for the 4 potPPS: there are some great extra levers: HC3.... that have lots of adjustments eg leverage rate and reach adjustments Edited March 3, 2018 by capediver BaltazarMarques, popcorn_skollie, Eddy Gordo and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capediver Posted March 5, 2018 Share come on, tell the truth ...... you only went with these as they compliment the colour scheme on your bike If you knew anything about me, you would know I don't just drop this type of spend frivolously... I did a lot of research and brain scratching before pulling the trigger....you can get customisable kits that you can apply for a few other colours as well and there are the higher priced Dan Atherton models as well which are even more matched.....but yes they do compliment my bike perfectly as a matter of happy coincidence!!! hehehehe...me...happy!!

Going on my Reign Adv 0 fox3.jpgfox1.jpgfox2.jpgVery nice! I used to come up with cunning plans to get things on the bike until I realised I can just put them on the bike - the missus won't notice anyway haha. Even when I do specifcally show her something I have changed she just says, Oh it looks nice but I can't see the difference...
