    Wonderful to see how you guys have progressed since I first had the pleasure of working with you some 20 odd years ago. You have grown out of sight whilst maintaining the finest quality for all your parts. Your products and passion are second to none. Be proud guys, you have put the UK bikes and bike parts at the very top of the list!!!!

    Love Hope, I've been using their stuff since the 90s. Although, in the early days, my front disc did warp when I heaved on the front brake, locking up the front wheel on my Orange P7 Pro SE. Unbolted the rotor and rode home. Great to see them getting bigger and stronger.

    Where Hope are now is truly superb. I went for the HB916 18 months ago after 30+ years MTB and never having owned a carbon bike. It’s nothing short of brilliant for here in the Lakes or the Highlands. The Hope Tech 4 V4 have been fit and forget too. Just seems like a package that was made by people that ride the same stuff as me and want it to either last or be repairable should it have an issue. Hard to see how you can get a nicer looking bike than the Hope HB 916. Supporting and buying British from an almost local company is just the icing on the cake.

Incredible quality and looks, if it wasn't for the industry standards that changed I would still riding most of the components as they are indestructible. Moreover all small replacement parts allow you to keep your components up and running! Best MTB product and brand out there by far!!!!!

Only needed to replace the pads... and seals once and a piston when the bike blew off a roof rack in a storm. Love the look of bits they make always look nice. I always buy them no matter what the bike actually comes with

    Still have my first Hope product, a 35mm seat clamp, got it back in 2005, also still have my first set of Hubs, Pro2 SS/Trials OG with the double bearings in the freehub, that was changed shortly thereafter to a single roller bearing because they've used to blow up regularly. Aside from them, I also have a set of Mono Mini brakes and 5 other sets of hubs (2s & 4s) laced into wheels. Would love to get a set of brakes, but hate DOT fluid because it's so hydroscopic, whereas mineral oil is hydrophobic, DOT doesn't work well down here in the Tropics and wouldn't expect it does better in UK type weather, so don't quite understand the argument/use of it TBH 'cause once it's absorbed some water, that higher than mineral oil boiling point quickly gets a lot lower than mineral oil.

    Still rocking my 2008-2010 ish M4 Union Jack edition brakes in raw aluminium. Sexy as hell, incredibly sturdy and so nicely adjustable. Those things are still top of the line brakes almost 15 years later. Bought them used around 2016 for 180 Euros which was the top end of my budget for a pair of brakes and one hell of a deal. The only real upgrade I did was switching to steel hoses and the occasional disc replacement. Have thought about maybe upgrading to a tech 3 lever in the future, but this would only be for the looks. Also: I think I may have been lucky with mine but I have not needed to bleed them in the past 4 years.

  • @Mapantz1

    Hi
    Do you take calls for help with brakes? I have just bought a brand new set of Tech 4 E4 brakes, and they are absolutely awful! I've got pistons stuck on both front and rear. I took off the reservoir cap on the levers and then used a tool to reset all of the pistons, but one side comes out and they don't retract. It leaves it impossible to center the calipers because one side of pistons doesn't come out and the others don't retract. Not only that, the front calipers are squelching badly and the back of the pads have DOT fluid on them.
    When I opened the box, I saw the plastic bag covered in fluid and it was all over the brake lever, but as it said on the box "Some fluid on the calipers is normal" I thought nothing of it.
    I did everything by the book and looked at all of your instructional videos, but this has to be the worst experience I have ever had with brakes. After spending nearly £500 on your brakes and rotors, I feel substantially ripped off!

    I love hope stuff and have lots of it but i would love the stuff you don't make yet. You can choose which you want to produce, either a 35mm carbon bar with 40mm rise or do the gravity stem with a rise option or make a headset bearing that limits bar rotation so the 20mm rise carbon bar and zero rise gravity stem that I already have dont destroy my top tube in case of a calamity. While you're at it you might as well knock up a dropper post that not only works but keeps working in UK conditions. You're already half way there with the Lever you make😁 I know i can and do run headset spacers (hope ones) but they make an otherwise stunning bike look like its come from Halfrauds😂
