Anyone changed their Bore Caps on Mini Mono’s? In short is it nightmare?

Also do the M4 caps fit or must they be Mini specific?

Thanks in advance,
John.

I don’t think that they’re the same as M4 (which itself takes two different sizes), and I’m pretty sure that the IS mount (black and gold) and PS mount (silver and black) Mini calipers each take a different cap / tool: http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/hope-bore-cap-tool/rp-prod5244

As for easy to change? Very easy with the right tool. It certainly helps to remove them when you need to service the piston seals.

Happy days…. Very helpful thank you 🙂

I have the removal tool somewhere if you’re interested…

Hi Edd,

Would be useful, how much do you want for it?

Cheers,
John.

Make sure you have the correct one(as mentioned above) for your caliper, and remember that the gold cap unscrews outwards, the black ones unscrew inwards(clockwise), and require piston removal.

See it’s never simple haha

Mine are gold caps but black casing.

I’m told the ally on the bore cap is soft as so you need the tool and a steady hand!!!!
