Looking for some brakes for the bike.
I need something that's flat mount for flat bars.
Choices seem to be:
- Shimano SLX
- Hope Tech 3 X2
- Magura MT4
  Shimano are cheapest but no stock anywhere. Hope aren't cheap but past experience of their kit has been good. Magura, I know nothing about.
  Am I missing anything or should I just splash the cash on the Hopes?

How much more are hope? I like that hope are full serviceable and rebuildable. If you want some that will last forever, go hope. If you want good brakes that work but won't last forever go Shimano.

Hope were about £100 dearer.

I bit the bullet and ordered some Hopes. As you say, at least if I suffer with leaking callipers like Shimano seem to then I can rebuild them.
