Carlperkins Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 (edited) putting together a new bike (mod project) in bike pics section... 1. the rear hope brake lever comes in a long way before the brake is strong, is this just a crap bleed? 2. the chain line is out. (imagine your sitting on the bike) the freewheel is about 1- 1.5cm further out than the sprocket. is that alright or will it cause a problem? theres not really alot i can do about it either. 3. the tool i have for the BB wont go over the green bb spacers and therfore i cant do up the BB. any suggestions?

ross87 Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 With the Hope problem. What brake is it first of all? To me it does sound like a crap bleed. (sorry lol) Check this vid out it will help. And remember as the video says remember to roll the diaphragm on, it will push the air out of the reservoir. Hope this helps. Ross Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlperkins Posted May 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 Take the green spacers off i cant, are they meant to come off? ive pulled hell out of it but nothing budged. With the Hope problem. What brake is it first of all? To me it does sound like a crap bleed. (sorry lol) Check this vid out it will help. its a hope mono trial, i didnt bleed it but the guy i bought it off said it may need a bleed, so looks like thats the way forward. cheers mate!
