Hi guys, would you take a look at this weak brakes problem I've found after my recent install?



Thanks a lot.

Forgot to mention/admit that I used this mineral oil instead of Ltwoo official

This appears to be user error. There are details in the written Ltwoo instructions that aren't in the video about a push pull procedure. I did it and pulled out huge amounts of air. Haven't tested the bike on road yet, but I thought I'd report back and probably close this thread.

All the mineral oils are equivalent (not equal) but compatible.

You can mix shimano with magura with any problem, so the issue is not on the oil.

Can u describe the problem?

I can suggest you to follow this video, it's very well made and must be followed every step.
Consider that the Hope 4 piston are a real PITA to bleed...

Hi all. This issue was resolved fully with a LBS bedding using the smart bedding machine they have for $40. Money well spent. I'll not try finalizing a brake install myself again. I even tried bedding the brakes myself and got zero improvement. Got the bike back from the shop this morning and the brakes are very nice.
