4. Troubleshooting
Do not operate the bicycle with defective brakes. Outlined below are some of the
common problems and solutions. If the problem persists then contact your dealer or the
Hope distributor for your country.
No braking power
Symptoms Solution
The lever operates as normal but the
brake does not deliver a good braking
force. The brake pads are new and not fully
bedded in. Follow the instructions in
section 2.6.
The disc rotor and pads may be
contaminated. Clean the disc rotor and
pads (see Cleaning your brake in section
3.1).
If the problem persists then the pads will
need replacing.
Lever goes all the way to the bars
Symptoms Solution
No braking effort and the lever goes all
the way to the bars. For the XC4 and Closed 2 brakes ensure
the pads are correctly adjusted relative to
the disc surface.
If the DH4 and Open 2 brakes are new or
have had some maintenance done then
the lever will require pumping several
times to reset the pad position.
If non of the above work then there may
be insufficient fluid in the system from a
bad bleed (in which case re bleed) or the
system has a leak as described next.
