Alex@Flawless Bikes Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 Does anyone know how to change over the cylinders in a hope mono trials. As i have one with a cylinder that WILL NOT move, but i have a spare caliper with cylinders that work. So any idea on how to fix the first on or change it over would be much appreciated.

N.Wood Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 Try a bit of silicone based lube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 i think they just pull out, you have to take the liquid out first though because oil doesnt expand lol... but i remember bleeing mine and i put too much oil in and the liquid came out side of cylinders so i though they might jus pull out?? try it...

psycholist Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 If you have a spare working caliper just unscrew the brake line from the jammed one and fit it to the working one. If the working caliper has fluid in it you mightn't even need to do a full bleed on it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will try pulling them out tomorrow though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
