HOPE Tech 3 E4 - Tips, Tricks For Setup. Bleeding & Alignment - Part 2 - Bleeding Caliper and Lever

Описание: Part 2, well I guess this mainly about bleeding the system once you have had to disconnect various parts of the brake to try and find an issue (which is what part 1 is about) but this bleed video can be used for normal use, I.E your brakes work but are a bit spongy, lever is flexing.

Hope brakes are not difficult to bleed. I wish more companies used bleed nipples rather than bleed ports.

Really it depends how long you want to spend bleeding them to how good you want the bleed to be. You can spend a lot of time removing very tiny bubbles in the system. These very tiny bubbles are probably just bigger bubbles that are now compressed (made smaller by hydraulic compression) and forced though an opening.

I've always found some of the 4 pot Hope calipers needed a bit of rotation and help with regards to removing air trapped inside of them.

Old brake fluid will adsorb moisture from the atmosphere so always needs to be sealed!

All my videos are meant to be quick video. That's not going too well.

0:00 Level your lever
0:32 Change lever orientation to remove air
01:01 Caliper set up - PVC hose
02:02 Pump lever, hold, open bleed nipple, close bleed nipple, let go of lever and repeat
02:50 You can skip this, just sped of footage of the caliper bleed nipple opening and closing
03:04 Seems like an editor issue skip to 03:21
03:21 Some bubbles leaving the caliper
03:28 More sped up footage of the caliper
04:11 Not getting the result I expected
04:45 I found a leak (I forgot to tighten this in a previous video)
06:26 Caliper orientation
06:50 Little shot of extra air leaving the system - Bled up good
07:54 Lever bleed
11:15 Lever blade settings
12:23 Caliper piston condition, cleaning, chips and lubrication
15:35 Solved the brakes original issue (video part 1)
16:42 Reservoir cap installation and fluid level discussion
