Duane_Bosch Posted April 18, 2017 Posted April 18, 2017 V4...Hmmmm nice...they come in lumo green?I've got M4's on my Reign. You'v seen them. The best part about Hope rotors is that they ping after those long Alpine downhills. Ting... Ting... Ting. Oh and no fade.
the nerd Posted April 18, 2017 Posted April 18, 2017 OK so I don't do hardcore #enduro riding but I do some quite technical riding for JHB, Up and down! Swear by my hope X2's, never thought about having to get 4 pots, but wouldnt say no... No fadeNo messNo fussNo funny sticking leversNo worn out internals (Sorry Shimano fans) Just solid, hard wearing, long lasting awesomeness...
Eddy Gordo Posted April 18, 2017 Posted April 18, 2017 I just bought myself some guide r. Would it have the same issue seeing that it has direct link as apposed to swinglink? If I could afford the Hopes I wouldnt think twice, but I payed less than 2k for the set of guides.

If I could afford the Hopes I wouldnt think twice, but I payed less than 2k for the set of guides.it's the piston inside the lever body. best way to check is leave it outside any day this week (its supposed to be pretty warm around 30-ish degrees C this week), and if the lever pull starts feeling abit sticky, its likely due to that piston issue. NB: this is not a terminal issue. it's easily fixed.

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted April 18, 2017 Posted April 18, 2017 I recall...how many pads did you go through in 2014?sanitary or otherwise?
Duane_Bosch Posted April 18, 2017 Posted April 18, 2017 I recall...how many pads did you go through in 2014?2 sets. But that is hardly a measure. It was somewhat wet.
capediver Posted April 18, 2017 Posted April 18, 2017 2 sets. But that is hardly a measure. It was somewhat wet.OK shot...where to get? V4? Locally? (just doing some economics...!)Sorry for the hijack ou's!
Duane_Bosch Posted April 18, 2017 Posted April 18, 2017 OK shot...where to get? V4? Locally? (just doing some economics...!)Sorry for the hijack ou's!There is a local agent. But I can't for the life of me remember who. Someone on here will know.
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted April 18, 2017 Posted April 18, 2017 OK shot...where to get? V4? Locally? (just doing some economics...!)Sorry for the hijack ou's!International trade, I think. So basically any bike shop. Cheapest I've seen locally have been Evo, IIRC. But even then, CRC beats them hands down wrt price.

Headshot Posted December 19, 2018 Posted December 19, 2018 Its summer and the SRAM brake curse has reared its head on my 2018 Guides. Last couple of rides the rear brake lever has started to display the slow lever return nonsense... I am loathe to start rebuilding brake levers. The things are 13 months old.

Last couple of rides the rear brake lever has started to display the slow lever return nonsense... I am loathe to start rebuilding brake levers. The things are 13 months old. i ordered some allu pistons off eBay to bring to life a dead set of Guides, they've been holding i actually tested them by leaving them in the sun to see how'd they'll react. Unless its the RS or R version its pretty k@k getting the piston out, and a small internal circlip pliers and some dot grease and rebleed on yours and it should hold. otherwise check at getting the pistons... on my recent trip to Knysna when i hooked up with GetStoked Distribution, they let me test the Cura's on one of the Pivot's, those brakes were amazing. But that means nothing i guess
