Just finishing building my 650b Heckler, all I need is a set of brakes!
Had a set of Tech M4 brakes 3/4 years ago – what is the equivalent brake in the Hope line up now?
Anybody know of any good deals?
Thanks

Tech 3 x2’s would be ok !,on offer at Merlin @ mo !..

tech3 E4s

although my M4 evo races are damn fine!

Ali has tech 3 m4
In PURPLE…..

I’ve both !,x2 tech 3’s ont crush & m4’s on mi 5 all v capable !.

wooooop purple brakes!

funny that, i was offered purple pro2 Evos for same price as black, opted for black though – mmm tropicana blue Heckler & purple – OUCH!

Bling Bling Ali!!!

Go for XT or even better XTR if your budget allows

XT? pros? cons?
I like the bling of the Hope !!!

Yeah go for XT if you want consumable calipers 🙁

Steve.
I have XT the new version.

Pro
Huge power
Lighter than hope.

Cons
Less adjustable then hope.
Can’t get parts, if you break a caliper or seal you need a new complete caliper. Hope you can get the parts at a few quid not a new caliper at tens of quid.
Bite point adjuster is useless….
On off nature (Hopes have far better modulation).

cheers Fozzy – i guess a bit of compromise then!
eeerrring towards the Hopes but I will have a search for XT & prices

mmmm not taken one bit by the look of XTs

I only got mine because they were mega cheap from Rose.

Lots of people love them, but I’ve had two calipers fail and piss fluid everywhere mid-ride, once on the way down the red route from Arc 1800 to Bourg St Maurice, which was disappointing.

My new Trance has come with M446 brakes, they feel the same as the XTs, lots of power, and about the same price as an XT caliper for the whole setup…..

As soon as they fail they will be replaced by Hope…

Hope it is then!
Loved my M4s so no need to change

Nah that’s a good price with rotors and mounts

local leisure lakes have reserved them for me – £350

Ahhhhh nice one! Snap!
