I'm using a Hope Tech 3 with original Hope pads in the back. Also a 160 mm Jitsie rotor. I have it for about a month. In the rain it makes noises and the power is not the best when it comes to hold the tire at the edge. Would it help to switch to other pads or rotors? Thanx.

Jitsie pads have a considerable increase in power over the standard Hope pads made by Galfer. I'm also wondering why you don't use the hope trials rotor in 160 instead of the Jitsie.

Pads: Ashima Tie-Fighter - metal backing

Time used: non continous but a week or two..... maybe 2 months

Rim used: echo TR 26

Grind: Yes

Ceraminc: No

Brake used: Echo TR Rim Brakes

What is your opinion of a working brake: Better/stiffer feel than Magura stock and some plastic backing pads

How do they compare to previous pads you have used: lever pull stops solid, less spongy than others

Review: I like the performance, cheap with metal back, only have 2 pairs....
