josh of super Leeds Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 Right lads I have a problem with the new Hope Trial Zone rear brake. First of all it seam's to have a lot of travel before any sort of bite. Then the pads slip under minor stress which to say the least I am 11 and only six stone. Now we first tried burping the lever and got a short time result and then so totally re-bled the whole system. Yep the lever feels better but still some slip. Now one of the Tyke lads said go Jitsie pads cos they are better than Hope? I don't know how he knows this as he has only ever being on rim brakes? Please give me help it's a Hope trial zone on a 2015 Monty 221k pro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 Yup, jitsie or trialtech pads. Night and day difference to even the hope trials pads. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onzatpro09 Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 For it to be slipping for someone your size, it's probably one of two things. Either your pads and/or rotor are contaminated with a bit of oil/grease which is where I'd just buy new ones, but you can clean them if you're persistent. The other option is that you're not pulling the brake hard enough 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
