This sounds silly - I mean it’s a simple hydraulic system - but my biggest beef with Guides is I seem to get two sets, properly bled, same lever feel, and the power just somehow isn’t the same.
This is a good set. They’re still ‘underpowered’ compared to my favourites the MT Trail / Trail Sport and the Cura 2-Piston. I run those brakes with 180mm rotors up front and I want bigger here.
They remind me a lot of the Hope E4 actually. Great feel at the lever, easy to modulate, and just a bit gutless.
Thanks!
