missionS Posted November 1, 2013 Posted November 1, 2013 Thanks for the heads up! Soos my oom altyd gese het "Goedkoop koop is duur koop"
Tumbleweed Posted November 1, 2013 Posted November 1, 2013 A very wise person -my dearest friend - told me that you're not allowed to have a midlife crisis until you have grey pubes. She's a clever girl. That nullifies everthing said on this thread so far. Admin. Close this crap down.
Danger Dassie Posted November 1, 2013 Posted November 1, 2013 I have these waiting to be strapped to my Ibis http://www.evobikes.co.za/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/h/o/hope_brakes_stealthx2.jpg Oh snap, have an identical set on my faithful steed... best upgrade i've made in a while!
Guest Omega Man Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 Will those fit the tech x2 evo?I don't think so. The Std Hope levers are so hot anyway. Why buy aftermarket ones?
Skylark Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 I don't think so. The Std Hope levers are so hot anyway. Why buy aftermarket ones? I want more hook at the end for 1 finger braking, I like having the lever set quite close to the bars and without a hook you end up crushing the finger/s next to the brake finger with a long flatish lever like the Tech X2 lever. I end up having to run them super inboard to get the 1 finger sweet spot, works but that shimano hook on their current lever is the one that's rules them all, pity the rest of their brake is made by monkeys. You reckon I could whip out the oxy-cetelye gas bottles and heat up the tech lever and bend myself a hook at the end? Anyone tried that on a lever, Alu isn't too easy to work with when bending though, seems to fatigue really easily.

Anyone tried that on a lever, Alu isn't too easy to work with when bending though, seems to fatigue really easily. It will most likely flop! Al is not like Iron that can be reworked by making it red hot. It will just melt. That the flop I am talking about. Rather make/machine an appendage and fix it to the lever with a rivet.

Dangerboy also do aftermarket levers.

braailegend Posted December 12, 2013 Posted December 12, 2013 .... Reason for a new build, like Monster-X onone Inbred with this :drool: Danger Dassie and Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 2
patches Posted December 13, 2013 Author Posted December 13, 2013 .... Reason for a new build, like Monster-X onone Inbred with this :drool: You want to put trials brakes on a Monster-X bike? Wouldn't it be better to put Hope Race brakes on?
braailegend Posted December 13, 2013 Posted December 13, 2013 You want to put trials brakes on a Monster-X bike? Wouldn't it be better to put Hope Race brakes on? the levers are the thing im actually looking at, seems to work on a drop bar (Dont thing my M4 levers would sit in same position). Same ones used on that road bike party 2. Not sure however if its standard or a different lever or a new clamp? Hope race will prob be better;) http://cdn.mos.bikeradar.com/images/news/2013/12/10/1386694624962-6t734b24lxgu-800-75.jpg
kosmonooit Posted December 13, 2013 Posted December 13, 2013 (edited) Apparently those levers were custom made, read an article on that bike, will try find it. Here "Hope specially milled and shaped each brake lever onto the bike in one day exclusively for Martyn" Edited December 13, 2013 by kosmonooit braailegend 1
Christie Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 I have Avid Juicy carbons on my FS, decided to try something different on my HT29 project: Race Evo (stealth) with X2 caliper DR ◣◢ 1
Thug Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 I put the Hope V-twins with X2 caliper onto my CX bike.
