MSM Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 The C2 lever in the picture looks like a right hand one, which isn't the traditional side for the rear brake in the UK. Of course, some people over here will run rear brake to right, but if you don't, then I suspect that particular lever wont help so much.

Ali C Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 the good thing about the hope lever is that the resovoir spins in the body so you can have the lever either side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wright Pads Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 The Hope Sport leaver be in C2 or O2 will run ether left to right, just tun it over and swap the bolt round 180 degress, amazing desing and build on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatsink Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 Here's what happens to my 04 lever set-up from time to time. Either the bolt coming loose so leaving just one side supporting the lever, or a crash directly onto the lever:^ Any lever will break in trials though if incorrectly assembled / crashed hard into, so I'd still stick with this lever because they work great if not abused!The TPA's do break on these pre 05 levers in time, and it seems that it remains a weak spot on the 05 levers too. Although they've moved the TPA dial away from where it's likely to be hit, I gather than the plastic threads on the new dial strip with frequent use Using the older Pre 05 lever has alot of attractions. It's the way I'd go if I had a 05 lever that broke. Plenty of cheap older style levers available to buy on TF, and you can fit many styles of lever blades to them. Magura did a few different versions of their levers and you can also fit the RB lever too which some people like.So far below is the only after market 05 lever blade available, and I'm not selling it!

Wright Pads Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 All the 2004 and beyond leavers fail there on that pivot bolt. It's usaly to user error of over tigthingSometimes they snap at the bleed tooIn reagrds to the 05 the Germans got it f**king totaly wrong, the blads are too short and nowt fits them. Edd Potts is the only guy thats made soemthing for them so far which is a better and metal TPA kit which works spot onSteve that leaver looks the shiz, wood is nice to play with in sesne of leavers as you can really hsape it and smothe it out too, to get you idea on said final product Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moi Posted April 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 Longer bolt.At first I didn't think that it would work, but it actually did. At least temporarily.So far below is the only after market 05 lever blade available, and I'm not selling it! Top secret wood design for incredible weight reduction not even if I beg you?
