- Part 2, well I guess this mainly about bleeding the system once you have had to disconnect various parts of the brake to try and find an issue (which is what part 1 is about) but this bleed video can be used for normal use, I.E your brakes work but are a bit spongy, lever is flexing.
Hope brakes are not difficult to bleed. I wish more companies used bleed nipples rather than bleed ports.
Really it depends how long you want to spend bleeding them to how good you want the bleed to be. You can spend a lot of time removing very tiny bubbles in the system. These very tiny bubbles are probably just bigger bubbles that are now compressed (made smaller by hydraulic compression) and forced though an opening.
I've always found some of the 4 pot Hope calipers needed a bit of rotation and help with regards to removing air trapped inside of them.
Old brake fluid will adsorb moisture from the atmosphere so always needs to be sealed!
All my videos are meant to be quick video. That's not going too well.
0:00 Level your lever
0:32 Change lever orientation to remove air
01:01 Caliper set up - PVC hose
02:02 Pump lever, hold, open bleed nipple, close bleed nipple, let go of lever and repeat
02:50 You can skip this, just sped of footage of the caliper bleed nipple opening and closing
03:04 Seems like an editor issue skip to 03:21
03:21 Some bubbles leaving the caliper
03:28 More sped up footage of the caliper
04:11 Not getting the result I expected
04:45 I found a leak (I forgot to tighten this in a previous video)
06:26 Caliper orientation
06:50 Little shot of extra air leaving the system - Bled up good
07:54 Lever bleed
11:15 Lever blade settings
12:23 Caliper piston condition, cleaning, chips and lubrication
15:35 Solved the brakes original issue (video part 1)
16:42 Reservoir cap installation and fluid level discussion - กีฬา
Thanks for the video very simple to understand and comprehensive! I’m new to hope, breaks, and have been having a really frustrating time getting a good bleed on the back break, I had to replace the seals in the caliper as one was leaking, so I’ll go back to the shed now and try the removing the caliper from the frame trick it looked like it did loads of good, thanks again
You're welcome. Hopefully now you have a nice reliable brake.
What I like to do with hope is when you’ve finished the flush and lubed the pistons, if you’re still not getting the best result I put a syringe on the calliper with the easy bleed funnel on and push fluid back and forth and that gets any trapped air and works a treat
I'm normally lucky enough to bleed them off of the bike but with these internal routed frames, not possible. I'll try the reverse method and see. It's not a method I have used on Hope stuff but SRAM and Formula love making you push fluid back and forth.
@@Chambers36TheEnter personally I find it’s perfect as these are notorious for seized and sticky pistons so it gets all that air behind the pistons, give it a go, id like to see how it works for others
Hey I’m having the same issue! I’m not nearly as handy as you are - I don’t feel confident in my ability to troubleshoot the brake lever issues.
Was the brake lever actually clogged in your first video? And was that the solution that solved the problem? Or did it just need to be bleed and lubricated?
Hi
Yes it was clogged in one of the tiny ports and removing the debris solved the issue. It's the first time I have seen it with Tech 3 though It's normally on older hope stuff that I see this clogged lever.
Hi. Which one pads are the best for hope?
From the small amount of riding I've done with E4's I found the stock Hope resin pad to be very good. I believe they are made by Galfer. They last for a long time.
I did try Hope sintered pads but the resin ones were more powerful and quieter. Depends on your riding style.
Where can i get this bleed block for Hope Tech 4 V4 calipers?
People 3D print them, I got that on one ebay in the UK.
do hope brakes come with a bleed block?
I never got a bleed block with any of mine.
What's the name of that fits onto bleed nipple.
That's part of the hope bleed kit (HTTEBK1) not sure if they sell it separately. I normally use a PVC pipe with a
internal diameter 3mm and external diameter 6mm.
If you're in the UK I bought mine here - www.ebay.co.uk/itm/253419740770?hash=item3b00fe5e62:g:zS4AAOSwmNxafrU1&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAAwK%2Fp02oUqPwC9TzoFPpRsOPOy2k9AtS5Z4E7UO353W7gBMbvcImsfEm2U%2FoeVcrZ9g3ApBAG1hq1dzFQqeBMp0xhEbdjpv1t2ZdpU5y5jNqf37uqTtNzdzw0sJJ0caBLsD91tYq9Ltzw0cqzXk6O973IW7c8PXta9pvhrx09IOXrYPy%2BeYp51ZS3ClGfXEXYd8Z4MLmA1hzBYIRzwf%2FXRWWPIRzun18XG7klY7gHVZNgynS%2BZe%2BXQJ35UxeSwjUwug%3D%3D%7Ctkp%3ABlBMUOSjsvWcYQ
I use the 3x6 option, 3rd one down in the list.
@OddJobMTB Thanks found the part on ebay under something different then I was looking at.
