Hey all

My Hope mini lever is doing some not so good things.. I tighten the lever reach screw and after not riding long it starts to unwind and lose power. Anyone solved this??

Also.. I'm not sure if the pads are worn and whether this might have something to do with it "feeling" like its losing power and the reach screw turning out?? If anyone has experience on how long the stock black pads last, that might help


Thanks

this is when your hope starts to not work anymore, then you try to fix it like heaps, and you put up with the shittyness for a little while, but you get sick of it eventually and put a different brake on :greddy: hope are fagmo.

... anyway yeah id say you shoudl lostite the screw or else nfi.

I don't have it quite that bad but after I ride I find I need to give the reach screw a good half to full turn to get it back to where it should be. I never have a problem with it losing power though. Loctite should at least help. You could also probably put a second nut behind it to lock it if it becomes a big problem.
