DR ◣◢ Posted October 31, 2013 Share It really is a good looking bit of kit. Has a very mass produced look about it but then again so does, Avid, Hayes etc. The machined look of Hope is my personal preference. Being XTR you would expect the two halves of the caliper to align a little better. A bit like buying a Porsche with inconsistent panel gaps.

DIPSLICK Posted October 31, 2013 Share D#@% measuring contest A conflict in which two parties (ususally male) are vehemently disputing something of limited relevance. Generally, both parties are somewhat wrong, but each refuses to be back down for fear of being thought the have the smaller of their two (MEMBERS.)Similar to a pis#$%^ CONTEST, but generally, the conflict involved involves a larger element of machismo, and continues on only because neither side wants to be seen as the one who backs down.

Hope are the definitely the best looking. You'd have to claw my XTRs out of my cold stiff hands though - best brakes I've ever used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will not argue that Shimano makes really good feeling brakes. I love the on-off feel of the levers. Super nice even down the the entry level BRM-525 models. I had XTR on the Singular and I they really worked well. Light 1-finger braking, easy to maintain etc. Went with Hopes due to a failure on the front caliper. Happy that I did. Im fitting an XTR/SLX hydbrid system on the Jamis soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
