Hope or Magura?
« on: September 12, 2007, 11:02:53 pm »
Hi all... am currently in the market for a set of lightweight disc brakes.. the current choices in mind are:

1) Magura Marta SL
2) Hope Mono Mini Pro

I know the Hope's are lighter than the Magura's.... but which would you pick?

K2/Proflex 4500

Scott Scale 20.... finished... 8.02kg!

Hope.

Why? Lighter, and made in your own backyard. Nevermind that Hope is owned by DT Swiss.
