, Hope's website will tell you all you could ever want to know about open and closed system braking), but what it means in practice is that the pads will always be a constant distance from the disc. That is, the brake manages to compensate for pad wear, and also for "pump-up", where the fluid expands as the brake gets hotter. And my word, it gets hot.
Having run Minis on the front of my bike for 18 months, and a month or so on the rear, I must say that I'm hooked on these little wonders. During that time, it's been caked in the somewhat gritty mud that troubles us around here, it's hit trees and it's been swimming several times.

I have a surround sound Bose set up in one of my rooms but now prefer to use this product as it is very simple to operate. Just plug the mp3 player in and press play and your set. Can't get much simpler. It also runs off a wall ...
