my rear hayes keeps crapping out, i've rebled it and re-hosed it more than once now, so it's either leaking from the caliper or master cylinder, both of which I don't want to deal with.

I'm thinking of either combos;

Hope 180 M2 up front and 180 M2 in the rear;

Hope 180 M4 up front and 180 M2 in the rear.

Mostly be used for agressive XC/All mtn, but ocassionally freeriding and I do like them descents, so the real question is will the M2s hold up without too many fade/heat issues? Or should I go for the heavier and more powerfull/fade resistant M4 up front? Bike is a turner 6-pack built up for all-mtn type stuff.

Asking this question here because I know there's a few obsessive hope fanatics....

Hope told me that the Mono Mini is really only meant for XC riding. They didnt recommend it for long decents and what not. I'd go with a M4 pair if i were you.

The weight difference isn't all that much - if you're hooked on Hopes I'd just go for the M4s so you wouldn't have to worry about it.

I'll go for the M4s F/R.

I have an mono mini on the rear of my dh9, pumps up a bit on longer steep tight sections. the m4 won't fit, not sure about the m6.

For some reason I thought I could get an M2 with a 180mm rotor for the rear. I re-checked QBP's website and it turns out I was wrong. I'm not going to do a 160mm M2 in the rear, so I'll go with the 160 M4 instead.

If you want to save weight, go with Monomini rotors on MM4 calippers.
The MM4 calippers weighs only 20g more than the MMini

I'll go for the M4s F/R.

No. I'm likely shipping out to florida in a few weeks to a month or so for navy officer canidate school to become a naval flight officer. So not really. Riding here in arizona is pretty good. Duststar would be nice to visit, but I guess the next big priority is whistler, and I could end up stationed in the seattle area.

I'm just sporting a "pack" right now, enough for northstar when I get a better fork put on, but I don't think I'll be doing the full on DH-bike thing for a while.

I thought you were trying to fly commercial airlines.
