Comment on Hope Bleed and Die :-) Or how to bleed a Hope Mono Mini disk brake set by patrick

Hi adam, thanks for that info about 5.1 brake fluid, as I (inadvertently) put the used fluid into the new when doing the bleed I may have contaminated it for future use. bugger. On the other hand, my replacement Hope pads were sintered, and they are pretty pants like as they are very brittle so the pad breaks off at the edges in little flakes. they only last 500-1000KM of normal use and lose their braking power well before that. I got some A2Z pads but never tried them. Swissstop most likely best bet for replacement pads. *but hard to get here and expen$ive!)

Guys

Hope standard pads are organic, and they are pants. Get the sintered pads, they last longer and have more stopping power as they are a mix of metal and friction material compressed under high pressure at high temp, so they are stronger and act more predictably, just like real car brakes.

Brake fluid, especially 5.1, absorbs water, so if you plan to reuse the excess after bleeding, you need to store it carefully. Best to just buy fresh and have peace of mind.

cheers

Comment on Archos 5, the “Ipod Touch Killer” – is it worth buying? by patrick

patrick — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 14:30:08 +0000

So, it seems that the initial ideas of an Archos 9 variant were a ruse (?) and now that there is a 'new' Archos 5 out there! What does this mean for existing Archos 5 users? We can upgrade to Android??? We finally get HD and apps for free?? J'aime bien le concept et le look, mais on a payé avec des sonnantes et trébuchantes ce qui à l'air d'être devenu un éléphant blanc! Why have the same name at the existing Archos 5 if there is no firmware upgrade plan announced? This is all very strange... Sorry, I made a mistake it looks like they still want to make you pay for HD video... To be continued, but I can't say I am overwhelmed at the moment, they should have brought out the 5 'IT' version first, and even this version seems to have many limitations...
