Hope Mini's - Need review.

Well thats a reversal of what id thought from Hope bumpf on their plastic pistons. but all for the good as the other choice of mono miniss are alloy piston. Maybe stick there as said see how it goes.

I think for general riding with the appropriate sized disc for rider weight and length of downhill braking, the phenolic pistons are an improvement but take them out of their comfort zone and overheat them, disaster.
On the lever hole positions, is there no one that could measure the relative positions of the pivot to piston lever holes? Or email Hope.

Last resort is reading the instructions and just emailing them They might possibly say no but in reality they do fit. Or just so slightly different a small file could make it fit. Or it might just not fit.
Problem is all the bits have fallen off the page rather quick i thought, and there must be literally thousands of these things out there somewhere :? We've still got ti glides and such turning up nos still.

I think ill contact whathisface member on here that started a bike shop. See if he can order the correct levers and bore caps direct.

Re:

Sorry it’s a bit late mate but here’s the levers side by side. Unfortunately I don’t think it will be an easy swap, most obvious is the pivot pin is smaller on the tech 3.

Thanks much anyway for making the comparison for me Hope these days doesnt seem to like 'compatible'.
I'm sure I'll find a pair, again probably better going through a shop direct with the part numbers and hope its as easy as that.
