Hope Mono Minis or Shimano Discs?

Thinking of upgrading to disc brakes and trying to choose between the
above mentioned systems.

Does anyone have any opinions between the two?

Thanks.

Shimano used not to fit international standard mounts. They may do now,
don't know. Hopes are very good, but tend to squeal a bit unless you
keep the rotors clean. I'd have the hopes.

Nothing too dreadful about the Shimanos ... but I'd pay for the Hopes.

No experience of Shimano, first hand or otherwise.

I've had Hope Mini Monos for almost 18 months and a riding pal original
Minis for a year or more longer than that and can report no problems.
