Well thisisnotaspoon I’ve used Hope brakes since my early twenties
You must have had deep pockets, because even way back when I was 20 they were £144. Although admittedly way back then you got a disk included for that price.

Few rides on these and they are superb. Great feel at the lever. Look way more expensive than they are and can lock up with one finger.

Only minor gripe is entry port to caliper is fixed so can’t move it slightly to suit 🤷♂️ But for the money you can’t really complain.

I've a a pair of crs4 on the way.
I won a competition on the clarks Instagram page and ever the sceptic wasn't sure if these prizes ever got delivered but 2 weeks after being told I'd won I've a dpd parcel on its way
Anyone died using these yet
Im well kitted out for brakes but tempted topit them on the trail bike just to try them
no idea if I have any warranty with them been a prize but I've cheekily asked the question
<!--more-->
so the only people using these brakes got them for free 😆
£76 a pair on aliexpress, worth a punt I suppose

Nope, I bought mine (though I got £40 off at Halfords).
Still liking them. Overall power of the 2 pots is not quite on par with Hope X2s, but they have a nice feel to them, and look cool.
Stop my 85kg fine on a 29+ Surly.
I'm going to try swapping out the OE pads to see how that feels.
In the instructions is there a recommended bleed kit?
I'm tempted by a pair but would need to remove lever to feed the hose through a frame and will inevitably need a bleed and a new olive/insert. I guess the latter parts are not included?

There's a couple of olives and inserts I'm the box.
Mine arrived today look excellent
Mine came with spare olives and Inserts
Not had time to fit them due to work commitments but will fit the tom and report back
I've also ordered some galfer pads as I've been advised the std pads aren't great but we will see
<p>David - did you go for two pots or four pots?</p>
To those that bought and fitted these, how are they holding up over time? Had any issues?
These are on my list for my daughters bike, what sort of adjustment is there with the lever? Can you get them closer to the bars for small hands?
Same question as above^^
A year on has anyone got any feedback on these brakes?
Yep, still got them.
They're on my daughter's bike, and doing sterling service.
Levers adjust nice and close to the bars, otherwise they've just worked well, no dramas.
Good to hear.
Just got my rigid hardtail commuter out after a summer hanging in the shed and the rear SLX caliper has sprung a leak ?
So I need a cheap set of brakes and saw the CRS 2 pot brakeset with rotors on Amazon for £74.99.
I have some of the 4-pot ones.
They look nice but my 4-pot Deore brakes are better/more powerful. I found the bite point on the rear brake kept moving until I traced it back to the reach adjuster knob unscrewing itself on every bumpy descent.
And Clarks customer service is utterly atrocious - no response to numerous emails. I won’t be bothering with them again.
