I installed them last night ,they look sweeeeeeeeeet ,but I was dissapointed in they gave me some punny 8mm bolts for my rotor ( I have Hadley hub`s and you can use a 20 mm on them if you like ) if I did not take my time I would have stripped my front hub :angry: :angry: ,and my front rotor was bent,these are simple things and easy to take care of ,SO all in all they mounted great ,I even bought the bleed kit annd dam is that thing sweeter than a hershey bar it was so easy to use and simple and fast .I have yet to go on a real ride my bike with the Hopes but I`am sure they are going to be better than expected ,I have been putting in my yard .I will check back soo BTW my bike looks so fricking trick with them .I`ll go and take a picture and post it

I've NEVER had a problem with the factory Hope bolts, I also always use grease when installing them too for easy removal. The Hope power bleeder kicks butt too.

I hear you ,it is just Old school Hadleys had a spacer for the front and rear when disc`s where not the same and being it is .093 rear you loose alot of thread on a 8mm bolt and the front is .125 so you loose quite a bit of them ,so being on the safe side I went and got me some longer ones .I can`t wait to go ride it

Thats cool, they do look good, I can't wait to hear what you think once they are broken in. Welcome to the Hope family

What would those brakes compare to in another company. They almost look like sport bike brakes. Sweet set up man.

Your going to love those brakes man, I have two friends with exactly the same Bullits equiped with Shivers execpt the brakes, one is G2 Hayes and the other M6 brakes. I got to ride both of these bikes at Mammoth Mtn last summer and the Hopes are far more supeior (?) than the Hayes the differnce is like fire and ice. I road the Hayes equiped Bullit first, like my old hayes, on-off feel and I had to really pull hard to stop fast on Skid Marks in a real rough part of the trail, I got arm pump, had to ride the brakes the rest of the way. Then I got on the other Bullit with the Hopes, came in hard into a tight corner, pulled the brake lever in, basicly came to a stop in front of the corner, had to laugh and started pedaling into the corner reminding myself not brake so early next time.
