charliet Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 hello today i bleed my hope mono trial, i had finished it then went to test the brakes but it did not hold. So i bleed it again to check for air in the brake but there still was no air in it but it still did not hold what could be the problm and there is not oil on the disc or pads? Thanks Charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azarathal Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 Pour water on it and drag your brake for ages, when its hot pour more water on it. Basically you just need to bed it back in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnyMilton Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 (edited) Did you bleed it from the calliper up in to the lever? Edit: How does the lever feel, spungie? Is it puling in to far? Edited December 11, 2010 by JohnyMilton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Burrows Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 More importantly it would swell the seals and cause the whole brake to seize up pretty quickly. If its constantly spongy then send it back to Hope, it may need a calliper service which is an easy job to get wrong if your not an experienced mechanic.

SamKidney Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 are you putting on the diaphram properly? No matter how well you bleed it you can mess it up by doing this wrong. You need to roll on the diaphram, so no air is caught under neath it and is caught in the reservoir. If there is then it will eventualy or straight away make it spongey.
