trialschallenger Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 right i have had a thought could you run a rear magura with a hope c2 lever?i just fine that the hope c2 lever is a nice lever and the "tpa" dusnt seem to brake as easywith a water bleed would this be a resnable idea or just a moment of madness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 Have they changed/Is the C2 lever suitable for use with mineral oil, or is it only for DOT fluid? What's the piston size too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forteh Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 Have they changed/Is the C2 lever suitable for use with mineral oil, or is it only for DOT fluid? What's the piston size too?I suspect the seals will be ok with mineral oil, betting the piston size will be far too small though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialschallenger Posted April 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 now thats something i will have to take into concideration,i would be bleeding it with water though and i thought hope seals wouldnt stand mineral oil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 nope, mineral oil wrecks the seals (fast too) and the piston is far to small, the brake will pull to the bars with even the stiffest set-up plus you will have to set the pads soo close to the rim your brake will almost always rub.I tried it years ago, its not worth it.
