[Closed] PSA: 50% off Hope brakes at winstanleysbikes

cheers for that got some x2 ive been after.

No worries, I'm gutted as just spent over £300 on new tech evo V2's and a friend just got the older tech V2's for £183!!

sweet - thanks for the heads up, just ordered tech m4s for £130 😀

Sounds fair 50% off for something that only works 50% of the time.

I know that the alphabet can be challenging but he said HOPE not AVID.

Tech m4s been faultless after 9 months, unlike my avids.. 50% off? Blimey.

Not a patch on the new xt. I have both.

What DT said.

I swapped the Tech M4's on one bike for new XT's.

Think i'll be swapping them on the rest of my bikes too.

nice PSA, i have just ordered 2 sets of middleburn duos for 47 quid a piece.

marz 888's for £300 anyone?

I phoned and the price is right 🙂

Cheers for this. Ordered a nice pair of Tech M4's to replace my crappy Avid Elixir 3's.

Thanks to OP 🙂

What are the best Hope brakes for an am bike, riding in surrey hills, peaks, wales?

whats a floating rotor? worth paying a bit more for?

whats the difference between a post mount or int std?

M4 and stick to fixed sawtooth rotors

nice one OP! Tech M4s ordered 8)

cheers boxelder.

Whats the difference between post mount or int std?

Post mount is what all modern forks use and int standard is the old standard for fork mounts where you have to use washers to get the spacing correct, not a very good description sorry! Liking the love and good vibes everyone..

Thanks for the heads up, X2's ordered

M4 ordered here
Cheers OP

Cheers for the heads up ruscle. M4's ordered F+R half price, bargaintastic!!

Ordered. Thanks for the advice.:)

two rear tech v2's with floating rotors ordered here, happy days!

Wouldn't have minded those but they're only 170mm.

got an e-mail saying they are not able to get any from Hope but the website said they were in stock when I ordered
Anyone else?

I bought X2s and had the email to say they've been despatched.
😀

Stock does appear to be running low/out.

Just tried to order some but none left in the combos I want. When you start adding in rotor/adaptor cost then you can get them cheaper else where.

Think i'll stick with the XT m775's for now.

just got a message that the X2's cant be sourced from the 'supplier'
boo....

they have the vision 4 led light down to £179.99 with the enduro battery and they have xc hubs £20 for the front and £44 for the rear bargin

They are cheap because the new 2012 'evo' levers are out and prob wanna clear the decks

Ordered M4's at 7.30 am, got an email at 4.30 to say out of stock. Phoned up for refund. Turns out they had one pair to sell 🙁

Just waiting on my email to say they are Out of Stock.

Ordered a set without looking about 30mins ago and just checked and it says None in stock

Hmm, I'm very tempted by the Middleburn cranks I have to say.

I wonder if I can assume when they say R7, they are actually referring to R[i]S[/i]7's?

(... then everything I've just looked up online about RS7's won't have been wasted 😉 ).

I was lucky, ordered M4's with braided hoses and floating rotors late last night not long after ruscle posted. Email at 14.30 today saying they've been despatched.

Me too, ordered last night and tech M4's despatched today at 1430

Just got email saying been dispatched. Ordered Sat lunch.

Presumably this is because new models are on their way which will make these 'obsolete'.

Hope stuff won't ever be obsolete as their after sales service is 2nd to none and will have spares for old systems even now. I think its sour grapes!

That was a tounge-in-cheek comment - I've still got a set of original 1996 Hope Hydros (C2s) on the go on one bike...

I ordered some on Saturday morning, just got the email to say they're on their way - good shout by the OP.

Hope brakes don't get obsolete, they just get older. These will replace some 8 year old Hope minis which will be relegated to my winter hack bike. I don't consider the minis obsolete - I can still get all the spares for them and they still stop the bike.

Edit: just seen clubber's response - could have done with a smiley on that! 🙂

Sorry clubber, just used to a lot of people being very negative on this forum.

Mind you, the new design X2s are (IIRC) 15% more powerful!

Head hung in shame at not having next years levers 🙁

Got my email today to say they have been dispatched, never thought it was going to arrive!
