Mike Beck Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Looking at buying one of these the description on tarty seems pretty good for the price is any 1 using these and how do they compare to the modern hope discs cheers guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamKidney Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Theyre awesome for the price of them. I set up two for a mate and his brother, and they feel really really nice. Nice bite, hold well and seem to work from the off. Definitely worth a shot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghostrider88 Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Yeah,that´s why he wants to buy one of the cheapest brakes, because he can afford to buy super expensive one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FamilyBiker Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 i found the lever of mt a little too flexy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Beck Posted January 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 (edited) Yeah,that´s why he wants to buy one of the cheapest brakes, because he can afford to buy super expensive one I can afford hope and saint I was just thinking if the mt2 is a similar performance is there any point shelling out on the big boys ?

williams Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Hey man, I've tried some mt2's on different bikes, and I promise that they beat every hope I've tried. The power and hold is amazing, especially for that price. The lever blade feels a bit weird in the start, but you'll get used to it:) Go for them:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghostrider88 Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Well saint is just safer bet as there´s zero chance you will need more power than that brake has...It is heavy, it doesn´t look beatiful by any means, but it´s total monster of a brake, that´s why I got it and I know there´s no other brake I would choose to replace my beloved vee than this one. So it´s up to you, if you want ultimate power, go for saint, if you are after something lighter and nicer looking, go for magura(or slx/xt/deore).

They are insane. I have it, and love them, because they just work. Everyone who have tried my bike always says something about how insane the brakes are:) Anyway, the mt2's are compareable to saints, they're between hopes and saints. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bing Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 Sounds good to me mate I'd rather not jump on the hope/saint wagon not that there is anything wrong with the I'm sure there awesome I'm gonna order them Monday nice one For the relatively small amount of time its gonna take you to save up a it more cash, I'd hold out and get saints. They are £120 per brake off chain reaction for m810's, which are the 09/10 models. These are the best brakes ever. Get a decent lightweight rotor and you are laughing. For the relatively small weight penalty it's more than worth it for the power and feel these brakes give you. There is a reason everybody is saying it to you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Beck Posted January 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 What's the crack with saints can u use any size rotor with them a take it u just need the right size is adaptor ? It doesn't give u an option on chain reaction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostrider88 Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 Shimano brakes don´t come with adaptor/rotor, so you can choose which one you prefer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bing Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 Yeah you can use any rotor or adaptor, Ben from trialsaddict uses 160 rotors, as does Rob Poyser. I prefer 180's, much better feel and more powerful. On a mod I might add Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam T Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 Love mine, well worth the price they are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al_Fel Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 I've got a pair on my koxx mod. They are really good! I'd recommend them. They bedded in in about 15mins and have been great ever since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamKidney Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 I'm actually considering getting a set of these for my Ice. I miss discs, especially in winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockman Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 The levers are a bit plasticy and feel a bit flexy. I'd go with a Hope Trial Zone, mine are truly amazing! And they feel good too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurence--Trials Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 In all fairness i have never tried one of the mt2's (i dont think) but i really cant fault a saint, on my 24 i'm running one of a 200mm rotor and cant fault it, changed the pads recently to better ones and its almost too powerful believe it or not.. Also ran it on the rear of a mod (leaking, contaminated) on a 160mm rotor and still couldn't fault it performance wise, the leak wasn't awesome though haha. If money is a problem go for the mt2 as they seem great for the price haven't heard a bad thing about them, but if it isn't then without a doubt, get the saint. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevinfor Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 I'm sorry to hijack this thread but I didnt think it would be worth starting another one. I just wanted to check which saint you guys are talking about? Do you mean the ones tartybikes sell (M820) or are they no good? Also do you think a 184 mm rotor would fit even if the caliper is for 180mm? Kevin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bing Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 I'm on about m810's, using 180mm shimano ice tech rotors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
