What's finicky about Hope brakes? I heard that once too, from a bike shop employee(who I think really wanted me to buy a bike from him, which had Avid 7's, instead of my hope equipped Cannondale). Personally, I haven't had one bit of trouble from mine, the braking power and modulation are great, and they look OOH SO COOL!
