who fitted the brakes ????


squeeling is usually caused by the rear touching before the front which causes vibration


but on hopes it also happens if ya get brake fluid on the pads some how ( get a bit on the disk and the pads soaks it up )


what pads ya got as ive found the fiberax ones squeal like fook all the time anyway


ive got a set of hope pads at work if yua want after christmas ill post em out to ya and see if that helps


the screech is made louder by the spokes amplifiying the noise too



or buy a mini disc player , that solves it so ya cant hear the screatch anymore


are ya pads still centered btw as the minis are fooking crap for keep going off center

and hopes stupis fooking idea of spacers to center em too


sorry but i hate the fact that hope aint deisgned em proper when theres so many easy things they over looked



like the location fo the fooking brake nipple, look at the mono mins, there offset to one side so ya can spill fluid on the disc and pads , bout time they sorted that



now they just gotta solve the fact the lever blade always comes loose due to wear and lose the nice brake feel


tbh the deore ones or the julies are much better feel


and i sell hope disks alot as there the easiest to get and people request em




but the good thing about the hopes are the cable connections, not like the maguras and always need to get new olives


oh and have ya fooked the top cap tiny allen keys yet, thats another pet hate
