Got some new Hope V2s the other day. Great brakes but there is a twist in the braided hose of both front and rear.
Cannot seem to get hoses to untwist, no matter how i try to twist the hose in the other direction and then fit the caliper and lever.
Not a massive problem but looks a bit odd and front hose rubbing on the head tube/fork brace.
Any ideas?
Already have Moto V2s and don't have the same problem.
Cheers
Unbolt lever, tighten both connectors 1/4 turn, re-fit lever.
try undoing the banjo and flipping it over or as coatsy says - the hose is resistant to twisting hence the funny kinks you get in it
Just to clarify.
So I need to unbolt lever from bars, and tighten both connectors, at the lever end and the caliper?
Is that correct?
Have just tightened connector at lever end 1/8th of a turn and that has worked a treat.
Why didnt I think of that! 🙄
Must be the heat! 😀
Thanks
