Christie Posted January 11, 2014 Share All the contributers here must take credit (or blame) for my buy, posting pics here of these awesome brakes. If what I read here is correct, I'll probably hit the stem with the family jewles on the first ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR ◣◢ Posted January 11, 2014 Share All the contributers here must take credit (or blame) for my buy, posting pics here of these awesome brakes. If what I read here is correct, I'll probably hit the stem with the family jewles on the first ride. Not quite. While they are incredibly powerful they don't surprise you with the power. They are really well behaved even if you climb on them good and proper. Congrats on the purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elvis Posted December 24, 2014 Share has anybody maybe have a 160 mm hope float rotor for my x2 tech brakes that I just bought? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skylark Posted December 24, 2014 Share This thread has been very quiet, where's all the chaps with the new Hope brakes range, any long term reviews? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Letum911 Posted December 24, 2014 Share I have a +- 5 year old Hope trials, so far I have bled it once (2 months ago) and replaced the hose and pads. Still stopping like a monster! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest rockan.keyy Posted January 8, 2015 Share Nothing beats the Hopes. I run Shitmanos on the play bike and they suck. The Race X2 with 203mm rotors on the Morewood rock! Smooth, light and super powerful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pipsqueak Posted February 25, 2020 Share I'm so disappointed in these. I love Hope products, but these callipers are dissolving. Despite what they look like, I've not used them much. Those are the pads that shipped with the callipers! I'm wondering if there's some galvanic corrosion going on here..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted February 25, 2020 Share Jeepers, that's not lekker. Send 'em back / send pics to the guys you bought them from to see if there's a chance of a warranty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaGearA Posted February 25, 2020 Share Front or rear brake, that seems like scratching to me or something repeatedly rubbing against it I have a set that's going on 4 years and the anodizing has hardly started to fade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stefmeister Posted February 25, 2020 Share Front or rear brake, that seems like scratching to me or something repeatedly rubbing against it I have a set that's going on 4 years and the anodizing has hardly started to fade At first it also looked like that to me, but that is the top facing part of the caliper, i.e. also away from the direction of the wheel's rotation on the front/fork.Looks like brake fluid could be the culprit.

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted February 25, 2020 Share Yeah, I'm gonna guess someone spilled Dot fluid on that brake.True, and didn't clean it. That'll definitely much up the paint if not wiped off... Maybe a duff seal? Grease_Monkey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pipsqueak Posted February 25, 2020 Share It's not from dot fluid. Nothing leaking. Those are both front and back callipers. I sent pics to Hope, they told me it was from road salt corrosion. Obviously no road salt used in Durban, but it's corrosion none the less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
