liam-pantera Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 hi if u look inside the lever blade u will see a brass barrel with a silver screw in it if u screw the allen key into the barrel it will push the lever blade out more and stop it from pulling in as far .

Matthew_Gibson Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 Mine done that too. Have you tired doing the allen key thing as said above?? if you have, new seals?? Rebleed?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 My mates old 07 did this, no idea why.Apparently they do it when they get older? I got an 06 because I prefer the lever and it hasn't done it yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anzo Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 Remove the lever, inspect for any cracked parts or general wear...Are the calipers moving in or signs of leaking anywhere? If so it'll probably be sucking air into the system and it will not work....or air in the system from the bleed and your simply trying to compress an air bubble...try a good re-bleed...check pipes, bolts, connections for any oil. Failing that, contact Hope, they appear to have exellent customer service and will no doubt ask to inspect the brake; they'll either fix it (possible cost) or replace it (possible cost)......but usually a good bleed sorts everything out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abtrials Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 i would say get rid of the hope they are crap and always do this, get a bb7 or better still dont use a disk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Na disk are the best they always hold even in the wet My brake does that when the bike is upside down but all i have to do is pump it and it gets back to normal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
