Will these work

Hi all I got these brakes a little while ago and was looking at putting them on trek session im building just wondering if they would be good enough.
This the build so far with brakes fitted.

Not sure, I have an old set of Hopes in my spares, they weren't as powerful back then as they are now.

The piston movement is massive too, a bit of hand power needed to stop the bike.

They’ll ‘work’ but won’t have the power of a decent modern brake.

They were significantly outclassed by m755 xts which used the same brake pad.

IMO - better to offload to the vintage build guys for top dollar and then buy something more betterer!

Oooh, and they pay well. Unloaded a lot of vintage class in the last couple months for a good price
