I had V4s for maybe 18 months and no matter how much I faffed with them they were never "right". I was going to make the same comment as SirHC up there but replace Formula Cura with Hayes Dominion. I really wanted to like the Hopes. They were supposed to be the last set of brakes I ever bought but I came to the conclusion that they're wildly overrated trash and the price:performance ratio is terrible.
Solution
1) Unscrew and remove caliper
2) Unscrew Lever
3) remove V4’s
4) remove wheel
5) remove hope floating rotor and replace with shimano rotor
6) bolt Cura 2 caliper onto bike
7) bolt cura 2 lever to bars
8) reclip all hoses
9) centre caliper over rotors and tighten bolts
10) spin wheel and listen to the instant silence.
All up took less time to do that than a pad change, piston lube and caliper set up on the V4’s.
And what a novelty to have true rotors out of the box. Across 8 hope floating rotors not a single one has been true. Every single one has wobbled like a tramps night out! Shimano’s - straight as a die.
Dont think I’ll be going back.
