Personally I run both mono minis and tech x2's - the mono mini's are better and lighter. Only benefit of the x2's over mono's is the ease to tweak things rather than use an allen key

yep there hope breaks. they do that when there wet. you could try other pads? but it dosent make much difference.

give the discs a good clean with brake cleaner, or a alchahol based soloution,a small amount of grease or copaslip on the back of the pads and locating pin helps too. ๐Ÿ˜‰

The Hope brakes i got on my Orange 5 Pro are HOPEless!!! Serious lack of power, im going to try bleeding them, then change the pads. I heard the floating rotors are crap for braking performance? Any ideas?

i used the original m4s for years and the floating rotor on the front was awesome.
these are a step up . like my moto vs but smaller

I've just got a pair of Tech M4's after years of using mono mini's, kept my old floating rotors - the power is awesome!!!
