pav Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 Hi guys,I was getting a used Hope mono trials brake, the '06 model and the guy that was going to sell it to me said that he found that its leaking.As a result I'm not going to get it off him before, but he said that the new Hope Mono series had alot of problems with leaking, including the trials one?I was told by him not to get a hope disc and go for something else. However I really want to get the hope trials as of all of the good reviews I've heard about it. I have tried an Avid mech and hated it and would never get one and I dont know which disc in the magura range is the best one to get? I assume Marta or something but they cost way more than the hope. I have tried a Magura Louise and it was pretty good but most of the owners of them say that there is better, hence why I want the Hope mono Trials but I just wanted to see if anyone else had leaking problems with them and what they thought.So in short:Do you have a hope mono trials and if you do, how does it compare to magura discs and/or have you had or known anyone who has had leaking problems with the hope.ThanksAdrian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 (edited) I've had an avid bb7 and a hope mono trial.Power wise the hope is in a different league, my avid just wouldn't hold sometimes, it was crap.I have had a few problems with my hope, not leaking though, just piston troubles. However, u can just send it in to hope for £5 (if that) and they'll sort it out for you if your having any problems.Hope's can be a bit temprimental, but when it's set up perfectly and working, they're great, Edited March 28, 2007 by JT!

harmertrials Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 (edited) Instead of starting a new thread I thought I would put it in this one, can I bleed my hope brake with water, in the bath?Edit: I need to know soon as possible so I can get out riding.
