Also cost in the fact they need a re bleed from new,codes are not worth the money in my opinion,and unless your fat they are total over kill.

Above has the right idea. It really makes no sense having them

mate dont bother with codes, i ran them for about a year and they are just a pain. Get hope v2 and you wont be dissapointed.

I basically want a brake that is stupidly powerfull. Im used to pretty crappy brakes that overheat straight away. Want something that will stop both wheels dead basically withought pulling the handle at all

You can't go far wrong with some Saint stoppers. . .
If you're looking for unique "Gatorbrake"s are powerful and smart. But pretty expensive

... Then you have Formulas... Goes without saying that they're expensive

yeah i was looking at saints online on chainreaction cycles and its only saying that its 124 a brake. Dosent give you an option with discs or anything so not sure if its just lever and caliper only

i can agree with the guy who suggested hope tech v2's, you can get them cheaper than CRC, i think 'The Bike Outlet York'does them cheaper Smile

yeah looked there, looks good but they dont come without the vented rotar so its £150 a brake. I pobably want a 4 pot so it dosent loose any power on descents. Fed up with shitty brakes that means i have to grip the whole lever to try and stop

the X2 comes without the vented rotas but not the V2, how you find them anyway? do they heat up or loose any power on long descents, ie 6 mins of DH

not been on any 6min long Dh runs, living in a pretty flat area, but i find they don't lose power when the rotor is hot, great modulation, enough to fool my mate into thinking it has ABS lol (he isn't the brightest) also the power is great tup


and the v2 can come without vented rotors, vented is an optional extra..
