I've recently swapped out some Guide RSCs for the Hope V4s and I'm not loving them. The issues I have are:
1. They don't seem to have as much power as the RSCs
2. When freshly bled they pump up really well and the lever throw is quite short, which I like as I can run the levers closer to the bars. After a few runs, the bite point has to be wound all the way in as the lever throw increases dramatically. I end up having to wind the levers too far out from the bars in order to not have the engagement right in by the bars.
3. I really don't like the lever design - the 'knob' on the end crushes the middle finger unless the levers are wound a really long way out. Sram and Shimano have tapered this out for this very reason (see pic).
So yeah, basically really underwhelmed at this stage, but wondering if I'm missing something. They are super easy to bleed though. Is there any way I can reduce the lever throw?
