Lately most of my friends and i have been facing problems with our Code brakes,such as changing pads,{ difficult to push pistons back..}and/or even placing specific pads of another company...as far as performance...we all know they rule but not always...need "bleeding quite often" and the little tuning red-bolt its too sensitive.....
I would love to hear your opinion about it......

I've never really noticed that, been riding Codes for two years.

make the change to saint and you will be very happy,although the codes were good they just felt mushy from day one,and like you mentioned sourcing aftermarket pads was a nono.

saint just feels more solid,with better feedback.

Glad to hear that...........about Saint.
I heard that Hope brakes start to have a feeling after a certain speed and not right away when you need it.....
