I've had Hope brakes on my mountain bikes for longer than I care to remember, and I've currently got two full suspention bikes set up with Hope M4 brakes, I love the brakes, and have never had a problem with the Hope pads, so I've always stuck with them.

I live and ride in South Wales, where it's wet, rocky and more gritty than muddy. I always stick to the sintered pads, and make sure I bed them in properly before I take them out on their first ride. In summer, when it's a little dryer, I've even got a loop I use to specifically bed my pads in (how sad am I?). But it's worth it, as when bedded in properly, the pads last for many, many months before they need changing. Which is good, as although changing the pads isn't difficult, I more often than not, find it a bit of a faff.

The pads aren't cheap, coming in around the £12 mark for a pair. But that's not bad for a few months riding. I keep thinking that I should give another make of pads a try, but when the time comes to buy, I always stick with Hope. They're a great company, and they're British. The pads do what they're designed to do, and do it well, for a long period of time. I'm happy to stick with them.
