good evening! i have a rear hope mini its been off bike for a good 8 months just put it back on yesterday, done enough riding to bed it in in the past 2 days!! but alas the brake works as well as a sweaty slipper. when i pull the brake it doesnt have the usual modulation and nice bitting feel, its like two bricks are rubbing the disk the only way to lock the back wheel is by hauling on the damn lever! so really im not sure what it is but i could do with this brake being fully operational! im thinking maybe the pads have become contaminated? but the brake does not leak? any ideas? thank you folks!
at the end of the day you get what you pay for, pile of shit? the only bad king is one that hasnt been looked after. i have seen alot more hope hubs broken snapped etc than kings and the king has been out alot longer!
