Connecting and installing the hose to the HOPE RX4+ caliper

Before attaching the HOPE RX4+ caliper, remove the original caliper and hose fitting at the caliper. Always use the original HOPE fittings to connect the hose to the HOPE RX4+ caliper! The fittings for connecting the hose to the caliper are included in the caliper package. Install the HOPE fittings on the original hose and connect to the caliper according to the instructions supplied with the caliper. If you are unsure, have a professional service technician or Your HOPE brake dealer install the caliper!

Important information

• Read the following warnings carefully!
• Failure to follow these warnings may result in injury or death!
• Failure to follow the warnings below may void your warranty!

WARNING!

We recommend combining HOPE RX4+ caliper with HOPE Floating or HOPE Floating Road discs (default width 1.8 mm).

The minimum thickness (disc wear limit) is 1.5 mm. Do not exceed the minimum disc thickness!

WARNING!

For proper installation of the brake, carefully read the manual supplied with each brake!
Observe the specified maximum tightening torques for all HOPE RX4+ caliper components!

WARNING!

For the RX4+ brake caliper version for DOT fluid, use DOT 5.1 brake fluid (or DOT 4) as the brake medium.

For the RX4+ brake caliper version for mineral oil, use mineral oil as the brake medium.

Never mix different types of brake fluid inside the brake! Mixing different types of fluid can damage the seals, and the brake will need to be completely cleaned and resealed!

Never mix up the type of brake fluid (DOT 5.1 or DOT 4 with mineral oil - and vice versa) inside the brake! Mixing them up will damage the seals and the brake will need to be completely cleaned and resealed!

WARNING!

To ensure proper brake performance, it is always necessary to perform the so-called bed-in process, i.e., the process of pre-seizing the pads and discs.

The process is as follows. Accelerate the bike to approx. 20 km/h and then brake to a speed of approx. 5 km/h. Repeat the process at least 20 times (a maximum of 30 times is sufficient) for each brake (front and rear) separately! After this process, the pads should be bedded-in (slightly worn), the disc should be slightly worn (sanded), and the brake should have optimal braking performance, which will increase slightly over time with each meter braked (not traveled). This process will ensure high-quality and proper brake performance.

WARNING!

Sintered / metallic brake pads with bedding-in up to 2x as long as organic pads! With sintered pads, pay extra attention to the bed-in process before using the pads, which is much more important with this type of pad.
