nmt_oli Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 If your planning on trying to use it with maggies or something, don't bother as the lever is open, the maggies arent dessigned for an open system, so youl get no end of problems.Its been done with an old hope closed lever though, but due to piston size mismatch, blew the seals anyway. I cant remember if he found mineral seals for the lever, or dot seals for the maggie slaves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tipsy Jock Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 I'm pretty sure you can get them. Seem to remember reading it somewhere, possibly MBUK, a while back... Could always e-mail Hope?I thought you could get hope levers to run with the shimano calipers from the saint and xtr range. I thought that these used mineral oil, can't remember where i heard that though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Smith Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 (edited) hope now do a mineral seal kit for their pistons, this was due to people wanting to run the hope callipers with the new shimano lvers that had them gastly gear/brake combination levers, so they changed to a hope calliper with the shimano lever. main reason for this was because people didnt want to use the shimano callipers.....contact hope for more infoash Edited March 12, 2006 by trialnoir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
