Just put a new rear brake hose on my Hope E4 brake… now I can’t seem to bleed the damn thing.
Usual bleed procedure followed like I’ve done many a time before but when I pull the lever the fluid level in the reservoir stays the same (bleed nipple on calliper end is open so air and fluid has somewhere to go)
So I removed the hose from the calliper end incase there was some kind of airlock but still the fluid level in the lever reservoir stays the same when I pull the lever….
So I took the hose off at both ends and I can blow air through it so it’s not blocked…
I pulled the lever with the hose disconnect and fluid shot out the end so the lever is doing its job…
Reassembled and the problem persists…
Any ideas?
