V12man Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 I wonder how it holds up against brakes that run DOT fluid in stead of mineral oil?DOT fluid is pretty paint friendly once you are beyond Dot 4 - no need to panic about it attacking your paintwork - especially if it is a modern 2 pack paint.
Red Ant Posted October 15, 2015 Author Posted October 15, 2015 Corrosion ResistanceAluminum oxide protects the base aluminum, even from such caustic chemicals as hot brake fluid. Anodized valves can be cleaned in mild soap and water, and require no special rust prohibitive packages or coatings. http://www.sonnax.com/articles/154-Hardcoat-Anodizing-Facts-and-Misconceptions
Bobbo_SA Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 Hope pistons and master cylinder assemblies are machined out of solid billet. Some models are available already anodised in certain colours, but some enthusiast take it a little further. Here are some varieties (stock and after market) http://www.purebike.fr/article_media/h-5558-6098.jpg http://www.mag-russia.ru/f/product/h-6353-7204.jpg http://blistergearreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/HopeTechEvoM4Stock2.jpg Stock Standard http://enduro-mtb.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Maloja-1889-780x520.jpg http://i343.photobucket.com/albums/o465/Stevo_210/m4d.jpg Oh i like the anodized cassette....

Red Ant Posted October 27, 2015 Author Posted October 27, 2015 Hi Guys. So this past weekend I finally got the time to re-assemble both brakes and they are now finished and installed on my girl friend's bike.

Red Ant Posted November 12, 2015 Author Posted November 12, 2015 Hi guys. We tested the brakes out on the trail last weekend and they performed well. They have good modulation as to the old brakes that locked up very easily and they look great. Allot of people are asking where we got the orange brakes
