Hope 3 brake spares

[Tootyred]

Does any body know if spares are available for hope 3 brakes still? Im not that familiar with them, but it looks like the kit on a bike I've ended up with needs possibly 2 master cylinders/ seals and possibly a piston kit. Also it needs pads.

Are they worth rebuilding (if the bits are available) or just replace the system wholesale?

Any ideas guys and girls

they look like the brakes I’ve posted about recently - Hope Minis, not Mono Minis.

Thats fantastic. If there's rebuild kits, i can strip them and start again.

Did you find pads anywhere?

Thread 'New Fangled Hope Disc Brakes…'

Dec 30, 2024

I picked up a new bike yesterday, 2003 Explosif.
I’ve never had disc brakes before, or anything hydraulic and I need some help to understand their workings.
I don’t know which model they are.
The rear lever moves a lot more than the front, almost touching the bars.
The brakes still work amazingly well, I’ll be over the bars if I’m not careful being used to old cantis.
What do I need to do to reduce the lever travel?
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Mini - small brake caliper made from two halves bolted together.
Mono mini - small caliper made from one piece.
No3 - casting type of caliper / bracket to fit different mounts, before things were (kind of) standardised. Nowadays most calipers are the same you just by different brackets (lettered instead of numbered).
Be sure to pump the pistons part way out before you strip the caliper.
