Peach. Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 Thanks dad. Pleasure, its good to see that you at least have respect for your elders.
V12man Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 If hope can stop a fat bloke and shimano stop skinny okes it follows that hopes have more power. You see the fat guy has more momentum so it's more difficult to bring him to a stop. See? It's called logic. It's not logical at all that hopes have more power... Momentum = mass x velocity Fat guy = heavy x slowThin guy = light x fast No difference really.... Wyatt Earp 1
DawieO Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 I always found it disturbing that they call a brake "Hope"... V12man, nigelhicks and DIPSLICK 3
Guest Omega Man Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 Bled mine on friday night (I got to Critical Mass too late, so turned around and deemed the evening "Bike Maintenance Night", haha) But yeah, Hopes are super easy to bleed. As for the dangerous DOT, I simply wrap some disposible cloth around the lever and bar in such a manner that if the reservior spills, it's not on a Fukushima scale. I'm so abysmal at bleeding brakes that I gave my bleed kit to a friend and made him promise not to let me near it ever again. Trail & Tar. R90 a side. Bargain!

Not to mention painkillers.. just to take the edge off from where all the bag swinging actually made contact...

V12man Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 What fluid does your car brake system work on? I have dripped DOT on my paint several time and just wiped it off, this was over 2 years ago and the paint is still on? Brake fluid has been paint friendly since DOT 3.5.... and you are really going to have to look for DOT 3 fluid that is not paint friendly. Brake fluid is NOT pad friendly - neither is mineral oil....

Brake fluid is NOT pad friendly - neither is mineral oil....Bought a second hand bike and the brakes was useless when I got it, tried to lightly sand of the brake pads and rotors but nothing helped, replaced the pads and problem solved. Think the previous owner managed to get some brake fluid on the pads and it destroyed the pads.

I can also confirm that dot5 is not that corrosive. I poured about a litre of it on my bike and the floor. G00SE and ThePubSA 2
