niconj Posted March 23, 2016 Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 (edited) Apparently there's a prototype out there. So cool. https://www.facebook.com/bruno.trial/posts/1054419757979321:0 Edited March 23, 2016 by niconj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_Trials Posted March 23, 2016 Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 That looks horrible, hope they keep at it though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEON Posted March 23, 2016 Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 Why do most trials related levers look and feel shit these days? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niconj Posted March 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 Well, the look is one thing I expect it to work though being designed and produced by Hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old boy chez Posted March 24, 2016 Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 Bit late for hope to be jumping on the band wagon for rim brake . Not to sure about that big ass adjuster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyT Posted March 24, 2016 Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 The current pile of plastic shit hs33 is... well, a pile of plastic shit. I'd love to see hope try a hydro rim brake out, that long lever scares me to mush. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Racing Line has a three finger lever as well. I got it as a matter of fact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigjames Posted March 24, 2016 Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 I imagine that as this is a prototype they are testing functionality and reliability at the present, once that is sorted aesthetics and weight will probably tackled. Be nice to have a solidly made, reliable, user serviceable brake set up; with all part available aftermarket. Probably won’t cost anymore than the Racing Line kit either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need me to bleed and set it up, no mushy shite on any of my brakes, ask @trials26 what the racing line brakes were like on my old crewkerz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Dunstan Posted March 24, 2016 Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 I like the look of it. Magura could do with some competition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine engage 3.5cm from the bar, and I don't want them to move any more no matter how hard I pull. Which is hard. Have never felt a new 3 finger brake (be it Maggie/racing line or vee-Shimano-avid) that felt unlike mushy shite. It has more leverageand it stops great- but feels like mushy shite to me. I like a short little lever, as my paws can crush coal into diamonds. I'd love to try your brakes to be proven wrong, ship me a set and I'll let you know my review. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted March 24, 2016 Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 I reckon it looks good... Presumably if you didn't like the lever you could nigrig some sort of C2 pro lever on there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LEON Posted March 27, 2016 Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 Reckon they'll be DOT fluid? That wouldn't be a popular choice. Pretty sure Hope have never used mineral oil though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave33 Posted March 27, 2016 Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 It's been around for about 2 years and is a version of of the brake levers they made for Martyn Ashton which he used on his road bike party videos 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure Hope have never used mineral oil though. They had a Mineral Trialzone/Mono Trial hadn't they? It seems that the bleed screw on the slaves is like the one on the disc brakes. This is cool as you don't have to take out the bolt and screw in the fitting to bleed it like on Magura slaves. My money is waiting as well.

Davetrials Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 (edited) We can all sit here and piss and moan. But we all know if hope dips there toe in to this little biketrials pond. Were going to bit it right off. So lets all just accept that we are buying them. Edited March 29, 2016 by Davetrials 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 Maybe - people ran Hope rear hubs when there was no competition, but once FFW started getting non-shit people stopped using Hope stuff. Similar thing with their disc brakes too. With the rim brakes though there's some fairly established competition so there's less of a sales guarantee.
