    I like the Formula Mega's I have on my FS (200f/180r) and want something as powerful up front for a new HT (using Formula Oro K24's at the mo)

    The Mega's are 140 quid. Is there anything cheaper but as good, or am I expecting too much and need to get real?

    Cheers

    I'd love to but the frame's only designed for a 120 😉

    On my Pyre I'm running XTR levers, XTR rear caliper and a Saint caliper on the front (180f 160r). I'm not the lightest ever and don't hang about but there's always more than enough stopping power.

    I couldn't find your review but I've seen a few people saying the rear stays are very forgiving….How are you finding it or too early to tell?

    I'll look into the XTR's. I've tried Hayes, Hope & lots of Formula's so want to try something different.

    As for the Paradox – I'm loving it. Rear seat stays work – making a very comfortable ride – steel comfortable. All pedal force transfers into acceleration snap… blah blah – all in the review above. Very fun bike
