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.

I just got some Hope brakes (likewise for flat bars), and they are ace. I took them to a bike shop to fit them, the mechanic said "I have the same brakes, but the version from the early 2000's. They are still going strong" which filled me with a lot of confidence.
