Hope Wont Bleed Up

[echo_rob]

Hey there,

Had a hope mono trial for some time now. Had some problems with it, but it worked O.K

Now I know this sounds noobish. But basically I turned the bike upside down and pumped it. I believe it drew air and now whatever I do it will not bleed or pressurise in any way.

Any help?

Also, whats up with the diaphragms, they just expand and curl up in the reservoir??

thanks

sorry no help. That just tells you how to roll the diaphragm. When I bleed it the actual level does not drop when I release the lever. No pressure at all or anything.

thanks

One of my friends ha a similar problem. He had to take apart the lever and clean it, there was some kind of pluggage. He managed to fix it and it still works pretty well. You can ask hope about your problem, they will help.

I take it you are opening up the bleed nipple on the caliper? You've got to open the caliper bolt whilst the lever is being pushed down, then hold the lever down, and tighten up the bolt. Then as you release (slowly), the fluid is drawn through. Is that what you're doing?
