Hi Chaps,

I’ve got two sets of Hope Tech3 brakes, one of the levers on one set had a slow return on the lever after a few rides. I gave it a lube, and a bleed and it seemed to solve it.

The other set have the same slow lever return now, after about the same time in. A bleed and a lube hasn’t solved it.

It’s as if the pivot on the lever is getting stuck on the bush…. has anyone else experienced this, and fixed it?

As it’s driving me nuts.

Cheers

Remove the circlip and the lever pivot, see if its that or the piston. I had similar with the tech 2. I had done the pivot too tight. There is a grub screw too. its hiding in the leaver cam! (might be too tight.)

Get in contact with hope.

My Tech 3’s did this from the off. I undid the grub screw on the pivot a little and it was fine, I double checked with hope it was ok and they said yes!
