bombs away on merlin order.. keep ya's posted on delivery time..
i'm a merlin virgin after many years of crc... farewell old friend, you've changed... bye.. at least merlin's website allows me to put things in my basket.. and oh wait, they're cheaper!
bought some hope tech 3 e4 brakes and floating rotors which i am v excited about.. been looking for ages and tossing up saints, zee's and hope e4 v v4 blah blah... sometimes i waste so much time looking at shit online i'm better to just buy it and move on, so i did.. it was hope's cnc work and spare parts list and rebuild kits that sold me.. i know all these brakes work well, but shimano just look cheap by comparison to hopes cnc work, and all the rebuild kits and parts available for hope brakes is just straight up awesome. though most of them are on crc oops..
they're for a dh rig (951) replacing some avid elixir r which for a budget brake have served well but i'm noticing i'm hanging off them sometimes to get the braking i need and they are noisy fuckers.. i'm only 75kg and live in bris, not the alps so went for the lesser/lighter/cheaper e3 over the v3.
excited..
