Gustavs are the shiz. That is all. 
Great stopping power. Replacement pads are reasonably priced...just don't bend the rotor by crashing...they're NOT reasonably priced. Nor are the adapters. But the calipers last forever so I guess it's a trade off. I set mine up with the Louise FR levers. They give a more positive feel than the Gustav levers. Best of both worlds!!

I had some on my Enduro. Lots o'power. I sold them and bought Codes and the Codes hadn't lived up to the power of the Magura's but I had only ridden them about 3 times before my bike got ripped.
The only complaints were that in the winter you have to clean the posts the caliper floats on every so often.
And once they are clean the calipers rattle just a bit. The noise bugged when I didn't know what it was, but once I knew I never noticed it again.

The only problem with that is the sponsor price for Magura's is like full retail for anything else.
I'd tell you the price...but I've been called out on here for doing that to much. But lets just say, its less then I could get juicy 7's for, to buy gustav's ('07).
If your sponsored by Magura, Im under the "A rider" catagory.
I was just thinking about that too. Is it a crazy idea to use a different rotor from a Magura to run with the Gustav M's? I mean, the difference would only be the disc's thickness and the lever reach could always be adjusted.
Let me know if your codes are for saleI had some on my Enduro. Lots o'power. I sold them and bought Codes and the Codes hadn't lived up to the power of the Magura's but I had only ridden them about 3 times before my bike got ripped.

If you see my bike somewhere we can probably work something out?

BUMBER!
hahaha, who cares. just post up your price, if i like it, it may be worth me setting up a sponsorhouse just for well priced brakes, all you need is a picture and some BS about what you want to accomplish and your ¨sponsored¨I'd tell you the price...but I've been called out on here for doing that to much.

i use to have a sponosrhouse, then 2 weeks later i realized it was gay. . . .
I decided to run a Hayes 8" rotor on my rear (which is a Louise FR caliper...) and it's .03 thinner than the correct Magura rotor... I had a noticeable loss in pad life... The rotor didn't have the heat dissapation properties that the Magura did....in return, I buzzed through a set of rear pads in about 2/3's the time...
I didn't notice any other adverse effects from running a non-Magura rotor. I have since switched back to just running Magura with Magura.
Cool. Thanks for sharing your experience with the Hayes rotor. I guess I'll just have to stick a crowbar into my wallet adn pry loose a few more coins...
Hahaha. Word.
Had mine for a week and got like 12 offers from different companies (Bombshell, F.U.N.N., Hayes, Truvative, bunch of others). I didn't even have a picture up!
Once I got an offer from RST thats when I realized is was a waste of time.
