I am trying to decide what brakes to put on my 29er.
The dilema is I like loads of brakes, I'm used to M/bike big 6 piston brakes after all so I like to use 1 finger.
BUT I don't like too much weight. Last time I went with new x2 Pro's but on 203/180 rotors, before that M4's on 203/180.
I am sort of tempted by Saint's for the extra 100g a wheel?
I like the Hopes because I haven't had any real problems other than the odd leak from a loose hose, and they are very simple to service/maintain/bleed with cheap and available parts like pads/seals etc. Plus they have great lever feel.
I only have poor experiences of Avid's and Magura's in terms of bleeding and lever feel (Juicy 5 and Marta SL's)
Any recommendations or experiences welcome, other than the usual topic of Hope reliability as I am comfortable with their reliability already.
