9/30/2025 9:27am Early days for sure, but they are completely silent for me. I’m running the green race pads with 2.0mm galfer wave rotors.

9/29/2025 10:46pm I’ve just fitted a set of GR4s. Only had a couple of rides so far but I’m seriously impressed. I was coming from code rsc, but have friends with T4V4 and T4E4. Initial impressions are they are giving me the increase in power I was after, without losing modulation, without a load of free stroke (which I didn’t like on...

Being 175lbs riding weight myself I feel I can benefit from stronger brakes than the codes, so it’s definitely worth it to get something more powerful. A colleague of mine always thought his guides ultimate were enough at 230lbs Now on mavens he knows he was wrong

Why change brakes if they're working great? From your post: "These work great and tend to not over heat too badly for me, I also really like the lever feel." Seems like they're perfect for you.

7/8/2025 10:25pm That is a very fair question! I think I’m just aware that when I got the codes, they were about the most powerful brakes I could easily find, but things have moved on, and being a larger guy I’m very curious to try something new. Also codes were originally on a sentinel, I’m now on a spire and riding a...

Well if it is for modulation, considering you also live in the UK with Hope right next to you, I'd go for the Hopes. You also have the new Hope Evos to choose from I have a set of new, unused Hope tech 4v4 in my room that I would be using right now if it wasn't for the luck of grabbing a pair of intend trinity. Dale Stone has a good video on the tech 4v4

7/6/2025 8:56am Hey all, can anyone help with a huge dilemma I’m having? I currently run code rsc with 223mm galfer wave and galfer purple pads. These work great and tend to not over heat too badly for me, I also really like the lever feel. However I’m a big guy at 6’4” and 250lbs so have been looking at either some...
