Product Information
Full details
The Hope X2 Disc Brake Pads are designed for mountain bikers and cyclists who utilize Hope X2 braking systems and demand reliable, consistent stopping power. These pads are ideal for riders who prioritize authentic manufacturer performance, offering a proven balance of durability and modulation tested in-house in Barnoldswick. Note that these pads are specifically engineered for compatibility with Hope X2 calipers, meaning they may not be suitable for other brands or older braking series without an adapter or specific caliper match.

FAQs
Are these pads compatible with all Hope brakes?
No, these are specifically designed for the Hope X2 series calipers.
What is included in the package?
Each set includes one pair of brake pads, a spring clip, and a retention pin.
How often should I change these pads?
Check your pad thickness regularly. If the friction material is less than 0.5mm, it is time to replace them for safety.
Can I use these pads with non-Hope rotors?
While they are optimized for Hope systems, they can work with other rotors provided the rotor thickness and diameter are compatible with the X2 caliper.
What is the bed-in process?
It is the process of transferring a thin layer of pad material onto the rotor through repeated, controlled stops to ensure maximum friction.
Troubleshooting
Brakes are making a squealing noise
Ensure the pads are fully bedded in. If the noise persists, check the rotor for contamination and clean with high-quality isopropyl alcohol.
Brake lever feels spongy
This is typically a hydraulic fluid issue rather than the pads. Bleed the brake system according to the manufacturer's manual.
Pads rubbing against the rotor
Re-center the caliper over the rotor by loosening the mounting bolts, squeezing the lever, and tightening the bolts while holding the lever depressed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install your new pads, first remove the wheel to gain access to the caliper. Using needle-nose pliers, carefully pull the retention pin and slide the old pads out. Before inserting the new Hope X2 pads, push the pistons back into the caliper body using a clean plastic tire lever to prevent damage. Slide the new pads in, ensuring the spring clip sits between them, and re-insert the retention pin. It is essential to perform a proper bed-in procedure: find a safe, flat area and perform 10-15 controlled stops from moderate speed to transfer a layer of pad material onto the rotor. This prevents noise and maximizes stopping force. Avoid using aerosol cleaners or degreasers near the braking surface, as residue can contaminate the pad compound.
