Hey so what pads you guys use with your Hopes?

Sintered, Organic/Kevlar, semi sintered?

Are the factory stock hope pads on the tech x2 sintered?

Heard a tip that you use one sintered one organic pad per caliper - best of both worlds, anyone try that?

 

Anyone order pads from superstar components?

I'm thinking of selling these bad boys if anyone is interested. R3500 including the hope floating rotors. They are Hope V2's with the Tech lever. I've not seen the V2 on another bike in SA.

 

I have cut the hose to fit my bike so you might have to get a new hose for the rear.

Are those the vented rotors?

I have these waiting to be strapped to my Ibis

 

 

Those new Tech 3 levers look amazing - much 'tighter' style-wise than the previous version.

No no.

 

Stealth just refers to Black.

There's 2 versions of the original Tech lever. The Tech and the Tech EVO. Visually they look almost identical.

 

The Tech 3 lever is the guy you posted up.

 

There's also the Race lever which is what Crow is running on his X2's

jeez getting spoilt with options now aren't we ....

 

 

It seems the new Tech 3 'grew' out of the Race series? And Mono Minis were the same format

 

 

I have 3 sets of the ambidextrous Tech levers plus one set of Mono's
