Hello, trials-forum. I bought some used green inspired 4play (frame has disc and 4-bolt mounts) but my brakes (bb7) are really bad in terms of bite and hold, and also they're slips pretty often.
And as far as I have some extra money to upgrade my bike I want to ask you guys: what brakes to choose?
After reading many posts on here and on some MTB forums and also after looking at prices from my local bike shops I've found this variants:
1) Hope TrialZone front braided + Hope V4 rear braided (they don't have rear TZ) for 370 USD w/o rotors.
2) Saints M820 front+rear for 295 USD w/o rotors.
3) ZEEs front+rear for 235 USD w/o rotors
4) SLX front+rear 113 USD w/o rotors
5) XT front+rear 150 USD w/o rotors
So I have no idea what would be the best.
And also I have no idea about rotors.
I can buy:
1) Shimano RT86 XT 203 pair for 98 USD.
2) Shimano RT76 XT 203 pair for 77 USD.
Or any other from bike-discount.de/CRC.
And one more thing, on MTB forums there are many people telling that "HOPE brakes can't into braking" and that SLX (2 pot 22mm) has more power than M4/E4 (4 pot 16mm), and that SHIMANO>HOPE in terms of braking power.
P.S. I'll use only standard pads.
P.S.S. How bad would work shimano rotors with hope brakes?
