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.
Thanks.
Went for the Hope X2’s in the end.
They’re better than I ever remember Hope brakes being.
Currently trying to talk myself out of upgrading the MTB brakes to some new Hope Tech 4.
