      Street trial Brakes

      The lever pumping and the mushy feeling may be by design for its MTB use, but there is no excuse for leaking.

      Awesome! I will go with Trial Zones then.  With my second bike, it may also be used for occasional MTB riding with a long seatpost, would it be something that could ruin the Trial Zone caliper since it is not designed for that? More specifically the heat generated from a long descent?

      I can comment on the T4 V4s, would not recommended them for trials. Power and modulation is good, but lever feel a bit mushy, and they had issues with fluid not being able to flow back quick enough too, so the lever would pump up if you pumped it in quick succession. More annoyingly they started leaking pretty quickly past the calliper piston seals. Were repaired by Hope twice, to no avail, after which I eventually got a refund. Back on Shigura's, which are trouble free, if a touch grabby.

      I recently picked up a set of Hope Tech 4 Trialzones and loving them, the modulation is fantastic compared to my previous Avid BB7's with organic pads which worked very well but very on/off.

      I'm going to bump this thread. What are people's opinion on Hope Tech 4 V4, E4, or Trialzone? More specifically modulation I am coming from using Avid BBDBs, Shimano M820 Saints on my street trials bike. While they are awesome for locking and biting, they are hard to modulate, especially for doing something like manuals. I am picking up a Inspired complete with Hope Trial Zone, and I am thinking of switching my Avid BBDB to Hope brakes on my second bike to have easier time doing maintenance with both bikes having Hope brakes.  I would be okay giving up on a bit of bite to have more modulation.
