Looking into possibilities for my brakes on a new build but was wondering about changing the calipers of my current brakes to possibly the Hope Rx4 and was wondering if anyone has done this?

Other option is to purchase GRX 1x shifter and calipers set

Basically I need to have flat mount calipers for my new frame

I have changed to shimano flat mount calipers+ hylex levers and it works fine. The pistons are 22mm diameter instead of 21mm so there should be a bit more lever throw (+10%), but I don't notice it and can't really remember how it was before.

There is also a hylex RS flat mount caliper which you could change to.

Thanks for the reply, trying to find the flat mount calipers from TRP is a struggle

I have one for sale, but in Denmark, so postage is probably not going to be cheap because of customs.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
