I bought some Hope skewers. Does that make my brakes work better?
Hey Brian HCM#1...

It's a start, going ALL Hope is the way to go you know.
I would have said you should have got them from me, but I wouldn't want Tame Ape curling up in a ball and crying again.

I heart my Hope hubs and they're purdy too
C2's need to be in good working order to perform properly. Plus with it's adjustability they can be a pain in the butt when the lever all of a sudden goes to the bars because of the fluid heating up. It just takes a while to understand and adjust them while riding a C2.
Aproved
Nice!!!!! You just scored some points with me
I still have them on my trail bike, 7 years later they still work perfect.
er...i had some C2s, and under heavy load/heating, the fluid would expand and the brake would lock up; the lever wouldn't go soft.
i guess it does take a while to understand them.
:biggrin:
My bad, I ment to say after the fluid cooled down.er...i had some C2s, and under heavy load/heating, the fluid would expand and the brake would lock up; the lever wouldn't go soft.

but, doesn't dust reduce braking efficency?
That hurts!!!but, doesn't dust reduce braking efficency?
I rode that bike last about 3 months ago.
Wow, so what am I at now...negative 99,999,999?:biggrin:Nice!!!!! You just scored some points with me
ha! I do like the Hope's though. Those hubs make me one fast mofo and I have the matching blue skewers too
I have no hope, never will either.
I have a Hope seatpost clamp ,will that help me?
Is it blue?
I have a set of old hope brakes sitting in my parts bin. bled them a few times, never got them to work right. Really not that impressed, but then again, they are old, and I guess they were free for a reason
Nope its gold,bling bling!
It's a start.
Which ones?
Never had any Hope stuff... i've been using the old Shimano XT 4 piston that looked alot to me like a ripoff of Hope. Been very happy with them for years, so if and when the calipers die, i'll look at Hope first to replace them since Shimano doesn't make them anymore.
How are they ever going to fail? Best brake ever IMO.
Hope sux!
maybe I'm schizo too?? I have a pair of Juicy 5's and I TOTALLY LOVE THEM!!!!Dude, your custom title SO RULES!!!!!!:biggrin:
That's okay, just think of Juicy's as "Training brakes"
because they're easy to use and set-up and don't require a pile of shims?That's okay, just think of Juicy's as "Training brakes"
Hope's do take a few minutes longer to set up (Newer ones are the same set up now as Avid & Hayes etc). The shims have never been a problem for me, sorry they are too far advance for your mechanical ability to figure out.because they're easy to use and set-up and don't require a pile of shims?
if they die, i have a extra set in my basement i can sell ya cheap!
and i have a set of C2s sitting in my basement collecting dust
can i order the new Moto Brake yet?
you going to interbike?
reserve me a set
i was gonna go, but i'd rather ride at diablo, while everyone is away
