Hi, all, years ago my Hope Mini brakes really hated being upside down. im wondering about storing the bikes upside down again to keep the fork sponges lubricated but is this still an issue for more modern brakes? they’re Juicy 3,5 and Formula RX.

cheers!

I’ve got RX and hang my bike from the wall so the brakes are always slightly inverted. Also transport the bike upside down in the back of the car and never had a problem with them.

My bikes stored upside down when i work abroad for 10 weeks at a time. No issues whatsoever. (Hope V2’s)

great, good to know thanks 🙂

That means they needed bleeding. When stored upside down any air in the system will make its way to the caliper making them spongy as hell.

Avid are notorious for this.

Flow is bang on!!!

Thanks almightydutch, usually someone is pretty quick to tell me how wrong I am.

i wasnt a fan of bleeding my hopes but actually, perversely quite enjoy the Juicy process 🙂

Foureyes, thats just wrong!!!
