best looking brakes by far

 

Beauty is definitley in the eye of the beholder - I think they look tacky and that tackiness comes at an XTR trail/Saint/Formula R1 price...

Nothing beats the Hopes. I run Shitmanos on the play bike and they suck.

 

The Race X2 with 203mm rotors on the Morewood rock! Smooth, light and super powerful.

Not for long ... Payment was done today for the new frame!!!

Ok you're allowed to chirp. But only once so make it good. Imagine your new rig with stealth M4's and a 40? Yoh Yoh Yoh!!!

Reckon this thread may lead to an increase in the divorce rate!!!

 

Whatever you do DON'T do google images search for "Hope hand brake" though, reckon Shimanos would be too soft to do that amount of damage.

One of the many things I love about hope brakes, is that in the event that you do come off hard and wreck them, one can buy nearly every part as a spare... and make colour upgrades
