I'll have to look into the Hope's.
*edit* Take that back. I also had some hydraulic Hayes in the early 2000's on a Gary Fisher MTB when discs just started coming out. They were so horrible they scared me away from discs for many years haha
I wouldn't do Hayes even the modern stuff. Never really been a Hayes fan never heard great things and seen their mechanical discs and was like meh and not a fan of DOT fluid for a bike.
The RX4s are supposed to be quite great.
