isitafox Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 Anyone else heard about this? My cousin is currently having a tour round the Hope factory and just mentioned it. Told him to try and sneak it into his pocket but I'm not getting my hopes up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilf Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 I know some guys that are going for tour round soon, I'll get them to ask about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross McArthur Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 Dave Kerr was going on about another company testing a CNC style rim brake but wouldnt let on who, so this might be true! Anyway, its Shimano who should be making one! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilf Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 Yep the rim brake seems to be true, the guys I know went yesterday and saw the prototype. Its Sam Clark from the bike shop Dave! He told me the other day he knows you haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HippY Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 (edited) it is really interesting, Hope there will be a purple one! And finally some competition to Magura, as 99% of the bikers who ride hydro rim brakes here has them, so we can see some improvements at their sides as well!

Blake Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 Slaves are slaves though that doesn't matter. As long as it uses a 14mm piston or similar you can just pop on maggie slaves :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilf Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 Yeahh. Hopefully they're not totally redesigning the slaves, Imagine if they made them using a different size pad... And only released their equivalent of black pads... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake. Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 I think I'd just cut down some pads to fit wouldn't be too worried. Tell me more tell me more Did it look like a magura 05? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 It looked like satans cock jake Stop asking we won't know until someone on here sees it in the flesh/pics 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake. Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 People have seen it in the flesh that's the thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilf Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 Cutting down pads would just be wrong Yeah people have seen it in the flesh but they're not trials riders, they wouldn't know which magura is an 05 haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake. Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 Oh dear. Let's organize a trials forum trip to the hope factory then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali C Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 10 years too late for me but I've always thought Hope could make a hs33 beater.....now they just need to make a decent v brake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alecwray Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 I asked about a rim brake at fortwilliam last year and they said they had plans for one but no dates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross McArthur Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 I asked about a rim brake at fortwilliam last year and they said they had plans for one but no dates I'm surprised they didnt laugh then slap you! "Trials? Hahaha" Whhiiipppsshhh. Not as outlandish as it may seem - Magura did it to Tarty! Anyway, I'm excited too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bing Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 At the sheffield thing last week, I noticed Charlie Rolls had a one off hope 116mm screw on rear hub, with trial zone inscribed onto it. Hope should make these, they'd be miles better than owt else out there, and British made as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
