quick review of the Formula B4SL's......KMan

I know the brakes are nothing new and been around for several months, I just wanted to post a quick review of them since I have used several different disc brakes and The Formulas really impressed me!
I have used for at least a year Hope C2's, XC4's, Minis and Formula B4's (gold). I definately have been a Hope fan due to the craftsmanship and quality, I liked the original B4's, but had durability issues with them.
I took my first ride this weekend on the B4sl's, conditions were wet and the brakes had been bled using the 2 syring method, not broken in at all. Technical rocky downhill sections I was able to use ONE finger with full brake modulation and EXCELLENT stopping power. I almost hope they are fully broken in now and don't get any beter :) Modulation and stopping power was by far better than any brake I have used.

My thoughts exactly! Enjoy your brakes (nm)SS_MB-7
