Rob_P Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 I sent back my mini mono disk brake as the piston was a bit fooked and stuff. I sent it in a box with a nice letter saying how I use all other hope products including headsets, hubs etc and that I was disappointed with the proformance of the brake, so they sent it back with a new caliper, new pads and obviously new bleed all for free! Absolutely top company, nice one hope!!!! (Y) :P (N) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waynio Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 why dont you try a few things before you send it back???? a smidgin of oil around the resevoir isnt worth sending it back over, you have probably tried to push the pistons back and that is what has caused it to have a slight bit of oil around the resevoir, iv used hope brakes for yonks and find that there always is a lil bit of oil come out around the resevoir after changing pads or pushing pistons back.

Waynio Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 the only problem being if you have tried to push the pistons back, and pushed em back but cockled them then that could be a problem, where as you would need to pump them out and try push em back straight again. sometimes they have lazy pistons with them being so big you will find one piston works more than the other but personally if your being fussy this will be a problem. mine has a lazy piston but the brake works shit hot, people who play and fiddle with things there parts/bits wont work. as if you fit it and dont worry about it you wont have any probs. Ali C was having loads of problems with his mono trial and literally gave it to me to sort out (still got it as i aint seen him yet) but iv soirted his out and his works beast!!!! just needed a bit of TLC. he was going to send it back to hope cos it wasnt working well (well after he had a go on mine he said his was really crap copmpared) Waynio.......................

Clarky Posted August 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 Well Cap re-bled it but you fit brake onto bike push pistons back and then you pull brake lever several times and it just gradually rubbed more and more on the rotor until it just will not let go.It's being sent back along with a hope rear hub.

Luke Drewery Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 I had to send my rear mono hub back to hope as the ratchet, pawls and springs were knackered. It took them about two months to get round to it but they sent me a whole new hub for free, which was nice of them! Apart from the long delay (I had to use a deore hub in that period (Y) ) the service was good! Then seven months later itr was totally knackered again! I got it repaired and it broke again. Three hopes later and i realise i should have got a king to start with. I have one now though. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
