WARRANTY

All Hope Technology disc brake systems are covered for one year from original

date

of purchase against manufacturer defects in material and workmanship. Proof

of purchase

is required. Products must be returned to the original place of purchase or

to Hope Technology to process any warranty claim.

This

warranty does not cover any damage caused through mis-use or failing to

comply by the recommendations given in this manual.

This warranty does not affect your statutory rights.

a) Before attaching the caliper ensure

that the brake pads are fully retracted in

the caliper. If not, gently push the piston

back using a plastic tyre lever or

something similar. Beware not to

damage the pads. Take them off if

necessary. Push on the left hand side

pad backplate to push the right hand

side piston and vice versa.

b) Mount the wheel fitted with the

rotor, ensuring correct fitment in

dropouts.

c) Position the caliper on the mount

and

slightly tighten the two M6 bolts.

d) At both front and rear of the

caliper, adjust its position so it is central

over the rotor (see arrows on fig 1) then

tighten the two M6 bolts using a 5mm

Allen key. Recommended tightening

torque 8-9 N.m.

Note : We do not

recommend pumping the lever to push pads out to align caliper

at this point. See section 4 regarding the alignment of pistons.

Be careful not to get

your fingers caught in the disc

when following these steps

3. ATTACHING THE CALIPER TO THE FORK OR FRAME

Mainly on IS mounts, to ensure that the caliper

is properly aligned and to help avoid

squealing or

bad lever feel - prior to fitting the brake, it is important that the tabs

of your fork or frame are clear of any paint or burrs.

We recommend that you machine the tabs

using a suitable tool such as HOPE

Spot Facing tool.

The TRIAL

ZONE caliper is both available in a postmount and IS type. You will

therefore sometimes need to use an adaptor

bracket to fit the caliper on some

brake mounts.

a) Attach the disc rotor to the hub using the

bolts provided

b) Make sure that the laser marked arrow on

the disc is pointing in the same direction as the

forward wheel rotation.

c) Using a Torx 25

driver tighten the disc bolts in

a cross pattern. Recommended tightening torque

5-6 N.m

Note

: A mild engineering adhesive could be

used on disc bolts to prevent them unscrewing.

Do not use permanent adhesive.

- With a postmount type caliper :

On IS mount you will have to use an adaptor bracket to be able to fit the brake

caliper.

a) According to the rotor size and type of mounts, attach the suitable adaptor

bracket onto the brake tabs and tighten the two M6 bolts using a 5mm Allen key.

Recommended tightening torque 8-9 N.m. Illustration fig 2.

b) Follow the same instructions as fitting the brake onto a postmount (see

previous section). Illustration fig 3.

- With an IS type caliper :

you have an IS caliper (n°5) it will fit straight

onto IS forks and frame brake mounts.

The aim is to position the caliper central over

the disc using some of the supplied shim

washers between the caliper and brake

mounts to achieve the central positioning.

This is a trial and error until the correct position

is achieved.

This step is very important and mustn’t be ignored.

Gently pump the lever in order to bring the pads closer to the disc. One pad might

enter in contact with the disc before the other. If this happens, hold the disc against

the pad that is already in contact with the disc to allow the other one to move.

For an optimised lever feel, both pads

must enter in contact with the disc at the

same time and allow the same clearance (see arrows) when retracted. The disc

should not be flexing at any time.

The T

RIAL ZONE master cylinder

only allows the adjustment of

the finger reach.

The finger reach adjustment

refers to the initial position of the

lever blade relative to the bars.

Use a 2mm Allen key, turn the

adjuster screw clockwise to

increase the reach and

anticlockwise to reduce it.

Please refer to the website videos and technical documents if you

require

more information about setting up this brake system, servicing

and maintenance. www.hopetech.com / Tech support section

Before riding and before every ride, check the correct action of the brake and that

braking effort is applied as the lever is pulled.

To achieve the maximum braking performance, the new pads will need bedding

in,

this will take a short period of time.

To bed in the pads, ride a short distance whilst alternatively gently applying the

brake on and off without attempting to stop. This procedure will achieve good

braking performance but will reach its full potential after a few rides.

About maintenance tips refers to our “how to” videos on the web

site.

For brake bleeds use only dot 5.1 or dot 4 brake fluid from a clean container.

fig 3

With this brake system it is highly recommended that you use only HOPE rotors. Our

discs have been especially developed to work in association with our calipers and

brake pads.

2. ATTACHING THE LEVER TO THE BARS

a) Attach the lever assembly to the handlebars. When

you

are happy with the orientation of the lever, tighten

alternately

the M5 clamp bolts using a 4mm Allen key.

Recommended tightening torque : 4-5 N.m.

b) Route the hose and caliper down to the fork brake

mount or along the frame to the rear brake mount.

Avoid situations that could damage the brake hose and/or your bike frame

and components

Note:

In the first instance it is recommended that you install your brake as supplied

without disconnecting and routing the hose through frame guide (if present) or

attempting to shorten the hose.

At a later date you can shorten the brake hose if required. For this operation,

follow the intructions in the how to videos of our website.
