Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this kit work for both front and rear brakes?

Yes, the kit includes the necessary connectors for a single brake installation, which can be used for either the front or rear position.

Can I use this with non-Hope brake levers?

This kit is designed specifically for Hope Tech and Race systems and may not be compatible with other brands.

Do I need special tools for installation?

Yes, you will need a proper hose cutter, a wrench, and the appropriate hydraulic brake bleeding kit for your specific Hope model.

What is the hose diameter?

The hose has a 5mm outside diameter, which is the standard size for current Hope hydraulic brake lines.

Are the olives and inserts included?

The kit comes with the necessary hardware to connect the hose to the brake system; ensure you follow the installation instructions carefully.

Troubleshooting

Brake feels spongy after installation

The system likely contains trapped air; perform a thorough brake bleed according to the Hope service manual.

Fluid leaking at the connection point

Check that the olive was compressed properly during installation and that the fitting is torqued to manufacturer specifications.

Hose kinked during routing

If the hose is kinked, it must be replaced to prevent hydraulic failure; do not attempt to straighten a kinked brake line.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Ensures perfect compatibility with Hope Tech and Race models
  • Flexible routing options with included 90-degree and straight fittings
  • High-quality construction for long-term hydraulic reliability
  • Includes all essential parts for one brake install

Cons

  • Requires professional hydraulic brake bleeding tools
  • Not compatible with non-Hope brake calipers
  • Installation can be messy for inexperienced mechanics

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure your brake system is cooled. Measure the hose length against your existing setup, accounting for full handlebar rotation. Use a sharp cutter to avoid crushing the hose liner. When connecting, ensure the olives and inserts are seated correctly before tightening the connectors. Compatibility is limited to current Hope Tech and Race series brake calipers and levers. For care, keep the hose clear of sharp edges on your frame and check periodically for weeping around the connections, especially after a crash.
