  1. You might be - Adam's brakes are amazing on his mod now, and even Ali "Cries all day about Hope brakes" Clarkson appeared to initially like them before crying about not liking Hope brakes again. They do seem to be noticeably better.

    EDIT: Cap's got them on his front brake and they've been top banana on that as well.

    is that with a hope v2 or a mono trial??

    just sent hope an email asking if the pro pads are bein released for the v2 see what i get back from them.

  2. By now I'm guessing you've figured out I'm trying to get more power out of my hope V2 disc brakes so here is my next questions.............

    Is it best to stick to the manufacturers pads or are other companies producing pads that are better?

    Also the variations in the pads too- organic, sintered, DH, enduro, trail, aggressive, ceramic and burly has anyone found certain variations better???

    So far I've discovered that for my discs there are the following pads available hope, nuke-proof, clarks, brake authority and goodridge. So if anyone has used these pads and found the braking better or you have any information of other pads you noticed a significant improvement could you please let me know/

    Cheers Paul

  3. After a bit of tech advice with my hope v2 tech trial discs, firstly after owning the bike for less than a week now, ive been on about 5 rides and just recently lost a fair bit of power on the front and gained an ear wrenching squeal. The dials on the lever are set as far out as possible and the brake has recently been serviced by hope (new pads, fresh bleed and new seals throughout).

    Any help appreciated

  5. f**k off, heatsink yellows on a harsh, well anything other than light grind is silly. They wear instantly!

    You've got one hell of a harsh grind there Wigan! The Tnn Yellows are a very soft pad material as it is, as are the Hs Yellows.

    Get yourself the Tnn Kbs, you'll never look back man! x
