|   can Mini lever be used w/other Hope open brakes...? | edgy
Apr 3, 2002 5:53 PM | | like an enduro 4 for example...?
I had heard that the mini levers were specific to the Mini caliper/system, but I cannot figure out why it would not work on an enduro 4...or any other Hope Open brake (02) ?
I thought mabey it had to do with the "Master Cylinder" ( how's that for anarcane d.miller like felix the cat reference!!!)
anyone try it??
I want to use an enduro 4 up front & a mini in the rr but i'd like to keep the same levers on both ends of the bar...plus the Mini lever/reserv. is SWEEEET!
...one of the best feeling Hydro levers i've ever pulled!
all you Hopesters with any info or a bright idea, i welcome the feedback!!

Apr 4, 2002 7:38 AM | | The enduro caliper has been reworked to bekome the M4, the old one will not work properly with a mini lever. And no the mini lever really is nothing like the old sport lever, the blade has a different shape and feel, the reservoir is different, and the mini has a split clamp, and neither is it like the old pro price. Take a look at the price of an old closed system hope brake with a sport lever, or even an original hope hydro brake and you'll see the price to be the same and even more than a mini |
