I `am thinking of some Hopes the cool 6 pot Ti units does any one have them on their bikes or should I just wing it .I know that Hope make good stuff ??????????? right

 

[Curb Hucker]

Mono 6s are the way to go Great modulation, tons of power, and theyre top quality. I have em and love em

 

[shocktower]

I just oredered them

 

[Brian HCM#1]

Sweet!!!!! I've ridden mine for a year now and they rock!!!!!

 

[dG video]

I love my front. The Mono m4 also works well for the rear where less breakng power is needed...

first class... wouldn t ride anything else... just make sure they are set up properly (bled correctly and spaced)

Holy online ordering batman, you made your decision in about 30 minutes based on one opinion that came from somebody sponsored by hope!!! I doubt that you'll be dissapointed though, Hope brakes have too many cheerleaders on this board to be any worse than the other options out there.

OUCH Bro ,I have been thinking about them for a while and I can afford a mistake ,but I have to believe on Brian MCM ,cause he always liked his Hopes ,and praises them daily :eviltongu :eviltongu :eviltongu :eviltongu :eviltongu :eviltongu ,BTW the have to be better than my old XT Hydro`s I have been running forever :eviltongu :eviltongu,Alos I have ran Hayes and Shimano`s so this is the best for last right neaky:,Oh yeah I can ride my mountains here

Well, I'd like to agree having brought a 6pot f 4pot r , but i was utterly dissapointed with both of them.

My new Saint brakes with goodridge on the the otherhand are superb, excellent feel, no problems and plenty of power.

you set them up wrong probably

 

[360]

I wish I did, but sadly not and most of my problems where not setup issues. I had big problems with the seals ( i went through 2 mono4 calipers) they'd quite literally pop. The seals on the mono6 where better but i was getting a small leak there too.

I never found the front mono6 to be that powerful despite using EBC reds disc facing tool etc etc , and having woody from hope try to work his magic on it.

I snapped 2 banjos over the course of the season but im prepared to put that down to bad luck.

All 4 my discs developed play and were warrentied by hope before i sold the brakes.

Finally does anyone else ovalise the brass bits the levers mount on really floppy levers.

BTW, I was however really happy with my M4s and only upgraded when i found i could get the new ones for a bargain basement price.

 

[Brian HCM#1]

I've really never had any problems with mine, with the exception of a few bad factory bleeds which I quickly addressed. As with any mechanical device there are going to be lemons out there (possibly bad machining at the piston ports). However in the 6 years I've used Hopes, they have all been great, dependable and powerful.

 

[Mtnrider]

right, there has never been a single problem with Hopes other than setup, ever.

 

[caputo1989]

enh I wish i could afford any of the things you are riping on. and anything ypur talking of must be Better than my HFX-9 brakes.

 

[thaflyinfatman]

you set them up wrong probably

Not necessarily. I've ridden a number of the mono m4s and one set of m6s, and none of them really impressed me. Good yes, great no. The power is alright (no better than my Hayes Mags though, and nothing like my mate's Juicys) but I can't stand that lever feel. It always feels like they need bleeding, even when they don't, they're just too squishy IMO.

 

[Rik]

they're just too squishy IMO.

Known as "modulation" to many :nuts:

Good analogy.

 

[shocktower]

Well I heard that that modulation thing is great of course if you did`nt want that you could just carry a stick and throw it in your spokes

Ok I paid for the fast delivery ,and now I have to wait until monday :eviltongu :eviltongu :eviltongu ,well at least I took my old stuff off my bike and I have it ready for the real deal neaky: neaky: neaky:

Keep in mind one thing with Hopes, they take a few good hills to properly break them, they aren't automatic like Hayes. But once everything is bedded in you'll be good to go.
