Which lever do i need for this caliper?

Chrift

This caliper came with a lever which i think was the wrong one, it had a twisty bit on the top and even after bleeding it felt stiff but spongy. After pulling it hard you could hear it go pppsssstt and then it would slowly pull back but the brake wouldnt actually engage any harder. It came on but not even enough to slow me down. I think it wants the hope mini lever (i think thats right) but dont want to buy the wrong one?
Help please!




edit:how do i resize??? or could someone do it for me?

This is the caliper from the back

this is the lever, i got a bit annoyed with it after i bled it and took it apart lol


im pretty sure this is the one that it came with - http://www.hopetech.com/database/lever-pro-open.jpg and i think this is the caliper http://www.hopetech.com/database/caliper-closed2.jpg but some of the calipers look the same so im not sure?

i can only guess what lever assy it is from that picture.

but the caliper is the Mini, so really you need a mini lever, but iirc the pro open lever worked. Which is what i guess is in the bag.

so thats the right lever then? would it just have been broken thats why it didnt work? is it worth me reparing that one or is it better to get a mini lever?

nicklouse

your lever unknown.

what is the other brake?

Chrift

the other brake is an m4 with the mini lever

buy a new mini lever, or see if you can pick up another M4 on the bay.
