FAQs

What rotors are compatible with the Hope Tech 4 EVO TR4?

The Hope Tech 4 EVO TR4 is compatible with a wide range of rotors. Ensure that the rotor diameter matches your frame and riding needs. Hope recommends using their own rotors for optimal performance.

How often should I bleed my brakes?

The frequency of bleeding depends on your riding style and conditions. However, it's generally recommended to bleed your brakes at least once a year or whenever the lever feel becomes spongy or the braking performance decreases.

What type of brake fluid should I use?

The Hope Tech 4 EVO TR4 brakes are designed to use DOT 5.1 brake fluid. Always use the correct fluid to ensure proper function and avoid damaging the system.

How do I clean my brakes?

Clean the calipers and levers with a damp cloth. Use a dedicated brake cleaner on the rotors to remove dirt and debris, but avoid getting cleaner on the brake pads.

Where can I find replacement parts?

Replacement parts, including brake pads, hoses, and seals, are available from authorized Hope dealers and online retailers specializing in bicycle components.

How do I adjust the lever reach?

The lever reach can be adjusted using a small Allen key. Locate the reach adjustment screw on the brake lever and turn it to move the lever closer or further away from the handlebars, as per your preference.

What is the warranty on Hope Tech 4 EVO TR4 brakes?

The warranty information can be found on Hope's website.
