Once again, don’t overestimate your technical skills. If you are not familiar with
this sort of installation we advise that this brake system should be fitted by a
competent cycle mechanic.
Congratulations, you have just acquired the HOPE TECHNOLOGY V-Twin remote
master cylinder brake system proudly made in our Barnoldswick factory in Great
Britain.
This brake specially developed for cyclo cross bikes will allow using your existing
drop bar brake/shifter lever in order to operate the hydraulic disc brake system.
The V-Twin master cylinder will nicely sit under the bike stem, it features 2 separate
hydraulic system operating each caliper. Thanks to the integrated brake fluid
reservoir, bleeding the brake would be as easy as on any other Hope Technology
brake.
The master cylinder is associated with the proven X2 calipers. Their one piece design
allow them to associated low weight, stiffness and high braking performance.

. Don’t overestimate your technical capacities. This brake system must be fitted
by a competent cycle mechanic using the correct tools. Incorrect installation

The video logo indicates you can find some useful tips on the website
. This brake system has been designed to be used only on two-wheel vehicles
with human propulsion. Any other application is not advisable and could result
in the failure of this product.
. Your brake system will generate heat during braking. Never touch either the
disc or caliper after long braking period as this could cause severe burns.
. Before each ride always check the brake for proper function, the brake pad for
wear and that there is no system damage resulting in fluid leaks.
. It’s common sense to also check that your wheel’s quick release systems are
securely installed and tightened.
. Your braking performance will improve in almost all conditions. Please take
time to become familiar with your new brake. Always ride within your own
ability.
. Brake pad contaminated with brake fluid, chain lubricant or unsuitable bike
cleaner will need replacing because the overall brake performance will be
greatly diminished.
. If you have any doubts or questions please contact your dealer or the appropri-
ate distributor for your country.
. If you decide to ignore these important safety warnings and instructions, you
are doing so at your own risk and Hope Technology cannot be held responsible
for any consequences resulting of the misuse of the brake system.
