Ryanpmb Posted October 29, 2013 Share Nothing to say except that Hope's are dangerous. Einaaaaa Or the operator is spastic... Pretty sure the scenario would've ended up this way, no matter the brakes... Except Avids - they would've collapsed on impact... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

braailegend Posted October 29, 2013 Share http://i343.photobucket.com/albums/o465/Stevo_210/m4d.jpg Sacrilege!! Hopes without braided hoses should be classified as illegal.

I've run Shimano, Formula and Hopes (and others not worth mentioning - they have their own appreciation society)... I've NEVER had to 'hope' the Hopes will stop me. Ever. The Formulas on the other hand - eish. So now I run Shimano's and Hopes. Wish I could have Hopes on all my bikes. DR ◣◢ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lefty V Posted October 29, 2013 Share Mmmmmm those are some sexy brakes. The Terminator would use Hope Evos if he rode a mountain bike. Is it wrong to have a woodie right now? No, but it is wrong to tell us about it Ramrod 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fabes Posted October 29, 2013 Share Do elaborate on the meaning of "and poor people" Do you mean that people that cant afford this brand hate it because they cant afford it? If it is, I personally think that is a very insensitive thing to say.You will alway get those people who think they are better than others based on what kit they wear or in this case what brakes you can afford. Some people actually judge a persons skill by looking at the equipment and kit they have and riding ability actually plays no role ThePubSA, Thug and GoLefty!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avid, Formula, Shimano and Hopes all present and the only brakes that didn't need bleeding the entire trip were the Hopes...... I've done a few trips in the Alps and the brakes thatneeded bleeding the most were Hopes. Shimanos only needed a pad change. Push the pistons back, pop in new pads, squeeze squeeze ahhh brakes and go ride. I have a set of Mono Mini Pro on my Xc bike, damn they're crap. I really miss my XTR brakes.Hope has certainly improved their products especially the gravity brakes but Saint seems to be the standard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr X Posted October 29, 2013 Share Yeah the Hopes are nice but so is XT for xc riding. As for a rear rotor nothing beats the Hope floating rotor - it even eliminated the dreaded pig slaughtering turkey gobble noise that the rear Avid break so loves to make.

mazambaan Posted October 30, 2013 Share Hmmmm, I see that at lea few people building lightweight dirt motorbikes (around 50kg) use what brakes...................Hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
