Hi,
I have just got some newish forks for my race hardtail, which is being built up to be around 9kg. I need to get a new front brake to go with the Post Mount forks, as I currently only have IS mount calipers (Hope Mono Mini with 160mm alligator rotor). I don’t want to go down the adaptor route, as that adds 20mm to the rotor size, which I think is too much for the racing I do, and 40-50grams to the bike (every little helps!)
I am not too flush, so am happy to go down the 2nd hand route, but what brakes should I be looking at?
For the caliper and lever I want something sub 300g, so I am in the Hope Race X2 bracket I think, but SLX’s look very cheap, but I am not sure of the weight.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. If you have a suitable brake for sale I might also be interested.
Ta
