You just gotta know what you're doing.
I've always loved that argument... it just makes me NOT want to buy that brand, becasue obviously there are some tricks that you need to know, or have some expert help you with in order to make them run correcty!

I'm sold on teh XT 4 pots becasue I put them on, and they work... not a lot of extra effort to make them run they way they should.

And I'm not bashing any brand (or person) specifically, the same comments have been made by some about Hayes.

Which I don't in this case. They look sex as hell, and I almost had talked myself into them, but along came a monkey poll...
They are all fine now. When they first came out with the Mono's, Hope sent them out with sintered pads. Those were F'n loud. I changed my to the organic compound and that's all it took. All current Hopes come with Organic pads so squealing shouldn't be an issue.


BTW, I can modify the poll to change your mind:devil:
