I need something to replace my old Mono M4s. I have spent an unhealthy amount of time trawling the mags, bike shops and the forums here to find out what they should be without success (too heavy, too expensive etc.) So..
They need to:
1. Be easy to bleed 2. Weigh not a lot 3. Cost £100-£150 each 4. Be suitable for general AM duties (Surrey Hills, UK Trail Centres & Alps).
Thanks
Rob
£50 odd an end

SLX/XT/XTR from Rosebikes.
Big thread recently if you can find it. Don't know of anyone who wan't happy with their purchase!
get some Magura Louise BAT brakes from on-one.
The new XTs fit the brief (apart from being half the budget).
Formula Th1 are fantastic. I went with 180/160 and have had no problems even on some scary brake heavy descents.

Nicholas was a pleasure to deal with - the UK price for these is daft.
