I'm interested to hear any experience of them
I have Shimano BR-RS805F calipers and to be honest, they're underwhelming. They've always stopped me and not lacked power with a good squeeze, but having done a custom build without those mid-hose connectors off-the-peg bikes have, I'm under-smitten.
I have Rival-22 and Campy Veloce rim braked bikes that offer shorter lever travel, more immediate bite and this is the clincher - MORE FEEL at the lever.
I have serviced and cleaned Brembo Goldline pad-per-piston calipers on my track motorbikes in the past. I'm aware of the tricks regarding angles and zip tying levers overnight, reverse bleeding, etc. Seen the YouTube tutorials and all that.
Fact is; the 805s aren't all that, so I'm only interested in opinions of converts to Hope RX4s and if they found the conversion an improvement. If so, did the Hopes require any tricks?
