Not yet, I’m waiting for my rotors to arrive but even if they arrive this week I’m doing a plumbing job this weekend 🤞 I get that done in time to do my brakes plus I need to source the correct sensor magnet

I ride off-road though pal 🤣🤣🤣

No worries Steve, yes another mikerb 🙏

Oh right I’ll remember that, I did think about using my old magnet but the Hope one looks a lot better 👍😎

Many thanks for your feedback and the technical information too mate, chances are I’m pretty sure I’ll need the R32 magnet too, I think I’ll play it safe and wait until my rotors arrive, fit them and then I’ll whip out my digital callipers and measure it more accurately, thanks again buddy.

Sorry Steve, when you say the Whyte forum, do you mean the Whyte section on here, if not can you post me a link please mate

I’ve bought some Hope rotors but I seem to have overlooked the speed sensor magnet, I want a Hope magnet to go with the rotors, but I’m unsure what size to buy for my Whyte e150, can anyone with the same bike help with this question please, thanks guys👍

I’m in Sheffield mate, you’re not an imposting southerner though Steve 😁

Following on from these replies I have bought myself a Hope easy bleed kit but the Reverb stealth barb gizmo is another story altogether, I found one on eBay but it’s over £15 with postage, some greedy little wannabe entrepreneur 😡 I might not even need it as I have some movement on my brake...

Many thanks indeed for your feedback mate, yes all that makes sense and I will use these methods on my brake hoses, hopefully it’ll work for me too, failing that I will buy the tool for the job 👍😉

Thanks for your reply mate, after all that I might not need to buy any just yet, I read the small print and it says somewhere that these brakes come with spare parts, I have a Park Tool hydraulic hose cutting tool which is as new as possible so there shouldn’t be any issues with that, do you...

I have bought a pair of Hope brake kits but I’m sure that I’ll need to shorten the rear hose as well as definitely needing to shorten the front hose, anyway my question is about aftermarket brake hose parts, are they any good or should I stick to OEM parts, I saw this kit on eBay for around £8...

Thanks for your reply Wilko58, I have been shopping around for a bleed kit and I have to agree the Hope bleed kit does look better in build quality and materials, I’m not surprised though as most of the Hope stuff seems to be like that, thanks for your feedback though mate 👍🙏

Fantastic responses to my question, I have just ordered my brakes off the back of reading these replies, I have the fatter Revgrips but they’re not much fatter, I also have the same Kiox controller too, a picture paints a thousand words 👍 I have to order the barbed routing tool and the rotors...

Thanks Mike for your detailed reply mate, I might have to look into this more in-depth as I have Revgrips which are quite chunky grips, I have had issues with the AXS shifter paddle with the Revgrips so it would be prudent for me to do more research with regards to that alone, would I be right...

Thanks for all your help and advice guys, it’s very much appreciated 👍🫡

Thanks for letting me know mate, I’ll get in touch with my LBS and see how much they can do this upgrade for me, it’s taken a bit of a back seat as I’ve had some bad news, I have discovered that I have cataract in my eyes so I’m facing surgery again, I will check it out but all of a sudden it’s...

Thanks for your feedback Mamba90, I wasn’t aware of the screw in gizmo so thanks for pointing that out to me, I’ll see if I can get my mitts on one, I think I might need a new grommet for my bike, I’ve got time to get all the stuff/tools I’m going to need for the upgrade, if anyone else has any...

It’s coming to that time of year again and my family have been asking me what I want for my 58th birthday, I’d really like a full Hope brake setup, ie levers, callipers and rotors mainly because the Sram ones I have aren’t great, and also because the Hope brakes look awesome and I’m a Hope tart...

Just in case anyone is interested, I have found that a drywall sanding head and drywall sanding sheets are awesome for resurfacing rotors and pads but don’t use anything too coarse otherwise you’ll have no material left on the pads, the sanding heads are usually completely flat if you buy a good...
