They won't be able to supply you with anything (unless it's via your local stockists) but they will answer any technical questions quite happily.

I think thats the wrong lever...as the moto takes a different style lever. The Hope has to be bled with dot 4 or 5.1 ( as it says on the bore cap ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trials Punk Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 Also bleeding kit needed to change? iv always jus drown the hs33 lever in water to bleed (so unsure bout this hope one).. oh and i know its oil. cheers You could do with a bleed kit for it, you bleed it as you would a car. Also, don't go giving the brake a bath of mineral oil, and keep the oil off your skin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigjames Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 Its the correct lever for a Hope mono trial disc brake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lankeman Posted February 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 (edited) jus checked it is a hope mono trial. So will this lever be ok? HERE just its slightly differnet to the one on tartys Edited February 24, 2010 by lankeman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigjames Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 It will work but there's no point getting the old type, when you can get this one and use all the bits from your existing lever, all be it with the reservoir cap upside down and save yourself 30quid.

chris4stars Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 im not too sure if running it upside down will work....with it being an open system, would there be a chance of any air rising to the bottom of the reservoir then getting into the lines? as for a bleeding kit...the only kit you need really is a some plastic tubing to attach to the bleed nipple, and ideally a bit of assistance. takes no time at all to do and is pretty fool proof....

I put the lever on upside down this evening and filled up with air and went poo! Can i not just buy a right hand lever that "Craigjames" posted as link?

craigjames Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 The cap may or may not work, I'm not 100% certain, you may be better off getting a new one reservoir cap give Tarty a ring tomorrow or drop them an email and find out.

chris4stars Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 im a little lost...even after scrolling up and down a few times!? you have a left hand lever just now...is that a lever you are currently using for your rear (or front if euro) brake? or is it a lever you already have but are not using....sorry its been a long day!! the link that alexdark posted is what you are looking for...the hope mini/mono trial lever for the right hand side. the resovoir cap is NOT cross compatible for between left/right hand levers.
