saints of the funn brakes look good there. only problem with that is dosent show how much they heat up, My brakes were amazing when new and great at grabbing etc but crap when they heat up because of the size

Ah right my apologies,erm 4 pots should cool a bit quicker but so too would a rotor with an aluminum center spider like that found on shimano rotors.

yeah im thinking saints are the way to go, only like codes because my mates have them although im thinking the saints dont come with discs and the discs are like 35 each. Might head to superstar and just pick up a normal disc instead

Saints feel a lot better than the codes,the codes also needed a bleed form new,so instead i sold the codes and bought saint.

I did but like a pratt i sold them with the bike as i had other more important issues,when i can afford to again i would buy them before any other brake on the market.

Fair play man, indecisive between codes and saints but looking at that graph, saints look pretty solid. Its just the bloody price of it all

I'm too cheap and my bike doesn't deserve the Saints.

But I've rode alot of bikes running them. They seem to be constant throughout (unlike other brakes which seem to get worse/better randomly) ... They're powerful when new and were still working as well months into my mate getting them; he recently changed the pads only to find they were working amazingly anyway.

Yet to ride a bike with Formulas but I think they're just for the "Money-No-Object" types.

Saint's perform. Simple. As does the remainder of the Saint kit
