So here’s the deal, I’ve just bought some lovely new wheels (thanks to all of those who have given my all the hub and tubeless rim advice!) and so I’m selling my XT set. However, my XT wheels have splinned hubs so I was thinking I’d probably need to sell them with my rotors as I’d need to get new 6 bolt rotors anyway.
…so… that got my thinking, if I’m selling wheels and rotors – would I maybe be better off selling my brakes too and getting new brakes and rotors all together?
I figure this will be cheaper as the brakes and wheels are in fantastic condition and hope mono minis come up on the classifieds all the time…
However, having taken a while to get used to them, I do really love my XT brakes and so think I might regret it… The hopes on my ss are nowhere near as immediate or adjustable, but then I believe the new ones are supposed to be much better?
Has anyone tried both? Is it just a case of personal taste or is one clearly superior? Also – are the hope mono mini pros a lot better? If so, what kind of price do they come up at on the classifieds?
I can’t imagine anything stopping me better than the XTs – it’s just that hopes are much prettier!
