What is the general thinking just now on brakes. I am looking at Hope V2 or Avid XX.

Hope was top of the list as I have had a couple of pairs in the past but I have heard a couple of people muttering they were not that good now but they probably heard that from someone that has never actualy used them.
If its hope are the floating disk a must.

I've got some brand new Avid Code R brakes for sale if you are interested. they were fitted to my new bike but I prefer Shimano and put those on instead.

E-mail me if interested: mikek@skylinecad.plus.com

Don't discount Formula brakes, slightly cheaper than Hope's but the Mega's I've just fitted are absolutely fantastic .. more stopping power than I could ever need and great modulation as well 🙂
