Why are the "race" ones more expensive than the "tech" ones that have more adjustment ❓
I have some (black and gold) Hope Mono M4s i.s. Mount 200mm/180mm which I am happy with but my new forks are post mount so I need to buy/change something.
I cant get an adaptor that does not add 20mm to the disc size and I dont want/need 220mm disc on the front
I could just buy a post mount m4 caliper for £75 from CRC
OR
I could buy some new brakes - looking at the M4 evo brakes [url= http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=73419 ]£133[/url]
or in special edition black / green [url= http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=73422 ]£150[/url]
or M4 Evo Race [url= http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=73643 ]£180[/url]
I dont get why the race ones with less adjustment are more expensive? - is there a carbon lever or lots of titanium bolts or something that I am missing?
Cheers
I expect it's something to do with being lighter
have you checked? They are available, they just aren't copmaptible with all forks.I cant get an adaptor that does not add 20mm to the disc size
Haven't Race got carbon levers and ti bolts? Taking weight away normally costs £££s
Race brakes are substantially lighter. Ti bolts, no adjustment, lighter lever.
More expensive for those reasons.
Ti bolts yes, carbon levers no. I think its all down to see weight in the lever.
I've got mono m4's on one bike and tech m4's on the other. The newer lever is certainly fancier and doesn't rattle as much, but in terms of feel/power it's pretty similar.
They're also cheaper (£124) at Merlin plus the service is generally better than chain reaction.
You'll be able to get an adaptor. Phone hope.
