Pollocks - you use a Hope C2 on a downhill bike?!!!

I used to have the closed 2's on my XC bike and on long descents they'd be such a pain in the arse. For those that dont know the strength of the C2 is being able to adjsut the sensitivity of the brake via a knurled top dial. However the downside is that as the fluid heats up under hard braking and expands pushing the pads into contact with the disc more and more unless you take your hands off the bars and dial the brake out a bit. Either you're not using the brakes very much and I'm jsut a downhill chicken or you'd benefit from the open 4's instead.

Incidently I moved from Closed 4's on the front, and C2's on the rear to the new mini mono's (2 pot front and rear) definetly more powerful but less progression and the discs warp sooooo easily. My new bike came with XT disc brakes and altho not as powerful as the hopes they have better feel.
