a) Any experience of them? They appeal to my inner tart* but i love my Vaults lots, so they must be at least as good.

b) WTF are Halfords doing selling Hope, and also being the cheapest?!**

*Outer tart

**I’ll get them from LBS though; ‘cos I am well ethical.

Not very grippy compared to the straitlines they replaced I wouldn’t get another set

I’ve never ridden straitlines; how do they compare to vaults?

Ta.

I prefer them to my nano techs! Never used vaults though. If you buy them, try them without the two pins in the middle so they have a bit more of a concave shape to them.

Vaults are grippier, but you can get different pins from hope for the F20’s

Have both, ride in 5:10’s

Havent got pins from hope yet, but intend too.

I won a set and replaced my Vaults on the Bfe with them. The Vaults are much better on rougher stuff, think rocky Grizedale, and are now back on. Probably as much about how good Vaults are rather than Hope being poor per say.

Thanks all. I may get a set and hold onto the vaults as well.

If anyone is selling any, wouldn’t mind a try (especially if in gold!) 😀

Loved the Vaults, i have some F20 and love them too, to be honest have slightly better grip but i wouldn’t swap.
