Hope
Hope has machined its components in its own factory in Barnoldswick, in the north of England, since its first disc brake in 1989. Parts you can strip down, service and keep for a long time.

Two engineers and a disc brake
In 1985, Ian Weatherill and Simon Sharp left Rolls-Royce Aerospace and set up a toolmaking workshop for the local aerospace industry. In 1989, tired of the cantilever brakes on their mountain bikes, they designed their own disc brake. A front hub followed, then other parts, and in 2000 Hope stopped all subcontract work to make nothing but bike parts. The two founders still run the company.
Almost everything is made in Barnoldswick
Hope designs, tests and makes almost all of its products in Lancashire, at Hope Mill, the factory it moved into in 2012. Parts are machined, anodised and assembled by hand there. The platform of the F22 pedals comes out of it, as do the aluminium tubeless valves. That know-how won over British Cycling: for the Tokyo Games, Hope built the British team's track bike, the HB.T, with Lotus.
Parts you service
Hope guarantees spare parts for at least ten years after the end of production. The bearings and bushing of the Union pedals can be changed in the workshop, and the mechanism can go back to Hope for a service. On the braking side, rotor diameter counts as much as the caliper: going from 140 to 160 mm moves the pads further from the hub and gives at least 14% more torque for the same effort, for 23.5 g more on the RX Center Lock rotor.
Why MAAKE carries it
Because a Hope part gets stripped down and rebuilt instead of replaced. At MAAKE: the Union pedals in XC, trail and gravity versions, the F22 flat pedal, the RX4+ SL calipers to move to four pistons on gravel behind your current levers, the XCR Pro E4 MTB brake, Center Lock rotors, seatpost clamps and valves, in the brand's anodised colours.
Frequently asked questions
Where are Hope components made?
In Barnoldswick, Lancashire, England. Hope designs, tests and makes almost all of its products there, machined, anodised and assembled by hand on site.
Are Hope RX4+ SL calipers compatible with my levers?
With hydraulic levers, yes: the caliper comes in a DOT version for SRAM levers and a mineral oil version for Shimano and Campagnolo. It is flat mount and connects to your levers' hose.
Can I get Hope spare parts?
Yes. Hope supplies spare parts for at least ten years after a model goes out of production, and its pedals and brakes can be taken apart for servicing.
