When centering the caliper on the front brake when you have it on you can just press and hold the lever and it will center itself and while holding the lever just tighten the bolts. On the rear one tho its better to ask someone for help so that he can hold the lever while you tighten the caliper. Just a little tip from my own experience.
Thanks for that advice! I suppose the only thing that I would be worried about with that is if the caliper wasn't bled yet and the pistons themselves were slightly offset
Yes I did end up doing that, didn’t have the time to do a tutorial on it but for the next bike I will do a tutorial! It was easier than I thought and I didn’t even have to bleed them after
I’m thinking of getting these brakes they look easy to fit, but I haven’t got a clue how to bleed them that looks hard to do but video is excellent my bike is a Stanton Sherpa hardtail steel frame 21 inch British made.
Can you tell us how you cut them without bleeding them after because I’ve looked everywhere on the net there’s nothing about how to do it the way I’m thinking of contacting hope to find out more but I know what they would say you need to bleed them.
@@seanmcnamara9029 well I just held them upright to not let the fluid leak out and then cut them down to size with snippers and put it all back together making sure everything was level so no fluid would spill out and no air would get into the system
Thank you so much, Ben! Your advice was very helpful and it's the first time I've tuned the brakes so effectively
Thanks! Happy to hear it was helpful!
Ben, great video. I am buying Hope Tech 4 for my Specialized Levo Mt bike.
Hope offers 180MM and 183MM rotors. Can you explain why?

@@BenCarano Maybe but everytime i did it the wheel spun perfectly. Only minor scratching sounds but that was from the rotor being bent a little bit.
nice hardtail frame and rims 🤘
Thanks!! Yah I made the frame, and of course industry nine makes great rims and hubs!
@@BenCarano awesome.what degree of your head angle?that frame look very clean💪...yeahhh i9 hubs sound is sick
@@METEORA_47 head angle is 65.5 degrees i believe is what i did it at
Did you cut the hose for the front hope tech 3?
