If they ever arrive?Thats my initial feeling too, but then this seems like a good deal: https://www.bike-components.de/en/Magura/MT7-Pro-HC-Carbotecture-Disc-Brake-Set-p61249/
The TRPs have excellent modulation and the best build quality I've seen in a modern mtb brake. I'm not a fan of the m8020 and m8120 4 pots, they feel flimsy compared to the rock solid Quadiems.Just hijacking a little: I'm looking for something in 4 pot that uses mineral oil. Default is XT 4 pots, but looking into these other options for more modulation. in general do the Maguras feel closer to SRAM than Shimano brakes? And the TRP seem like they have more modulation too..
I don't own the non-G spec version, so can't say for certain, but my understanding is that the only difference is the chrome finish.@Oddjob is the non-Gspec version just as good, without the chrome bling? They are a fair bit cheaper, and in stock (although I probably won't purchase for another couple of weeks).
I was just thinking that the other day that my G-specs DHR's (composite lever) really do have a solid build feel.The TRPs have excellent modulation and the best build quality I've seen in a modern mtb brake.

I'm about to put a Bike Components order through if you want to split the postage.Anyone know somewhere online selling the non g-spec version at a reasonable price?

Nice way to cheap out on the stopping power.I was recently on the fence with which brakes to get. Ended up with the g-spec quadiems.
I had issues with the hope floating rotors fouling on the calliper.
I grabbed some swissstop catalyst rotors and the uberbike race matrix pads that were suggested by oddjob and my brakes are now dead silent and really solid lever feel.
I'm think about swapping out another set of hope v4s for these.
I have been on hopes for years. They are a great brake, but setup is extremely finicky to get them to function without heinously squealingNice way to cheap out on the stopping power.
What's the deal with their pricing? Does it remove VAT and then add 10% gst?I'm about to put a Bike Components order through if you want to split the postage.

Don't expect prompt delivery. I've got two spoke orders for fellow 'Burners' wheels sitting in limbo in freight hubs that have been there for several weeks.I'm about to put a Bike Components order through if you want to split the postage.

Edited.I think I'll buy local depending on stock...
ugh, one more thing for the TRP - stupid question but my Wolftooth dropper remote is I-Spec II and I don't see an adapter for that here (no left side one) https://www.mtbdirect.com.au/trp-shifter-adaptor-kit
Can ispec be used in both sides? What are other options to connect it up?
Similar modulation but the TRPs have much firmer feel. TRPs don't have as much adjustment but have higher build quality.Can anyone with TRP’s compare them to Hopes?
Well that’s questionable.higher build quality.
I replaced some hopes (v4) with quadiems, currently running another set of hopes (v4) on a second rig.Can anyone with TRP’s compare them to Hopes?
