Full step by step transcript and notes

  1. Loosen the two caliper bolts so the caliper can move slightly.
  2. Remove the pad pin or pad bolt and slide out the old pads and spring.
  3. Use a flathead to press the pistons fully back into the caliper.
  4. Slide in the new pads with the new spring and reinstall the pad pin.
  5. Center the caliper on the rotor and tighten the two bolts evenly to manufacturer torque.
  6. Pump the lever to seat the pads against the rotor.
  7. Bed the pads in SLOWLY with 20 to 30 controlled stops from low speed (10mph) to moderate speed (20-30mph) BE SURE TO COOL OFF THE ROTOR & PADS FOR 30 SECONDS BETWEEN STOPS, AND DO NOT MAKE A FULL HARD STOP. FULL STOPS CAN CAUSE PAD MATERIAL TO STICK TO THE ROTOR AND YOU WONT GET AN EVEN BED.

Torque Notes: Tighten caliper bolts and pad pin to manufacturer spec.

Safety: Keep pad faces and rotor clean. Do not touch friction surfaces. Test brakes at low speed before riding hard.

FAQs

Does this fit Hope Tech 4 V4 and Tech 3 V4 calipers
Yes. It fits both V4 calipers. It is not for Hope E4.

What makes this an upgrade over stock
The copper sintered compound offers a stronger initial bite and better heat stability than ceramic options while keeping OEM sizing for an easy swap.

Do I need to bleed the system
No. A pad change does not require a bleed unless the lever feels soft or the hydraulic system was opened.

Will this help with brake fade or wheelie control
Yes. The copper compound resists fade and delivers predictable modulation so you can hold the rear with confidence.

What is included in the box
One set of pads for one caliper plus a new pad spring and a pad pin.
