Compared to what else is out there yes hope is one of the best up there..
Had there brakes, stems in various models.. raced, alps, peaks, lakes, yorkshire dales, wales, scotland and have been excellent… and when they need a fettle very easy to service and replace…
as for the tech x2. bought some a while back off merlin 190quid a set.. incredible for the money considering how much I paid for my new xtr on my other bike!!!
