Does anyone know if this problem can be fixed? Basically no pressure when the lever is pulled. The bike shop has bled and serviced the caliper, but still the same problem. Any ideas??

I would like to ditch them altogether and use shimano or hope, but nothing will fit. Tried some Hope Mono Pro's but they seem to need a 180 rotor, but the rear rotor cannot go any bigger than a 160 which is on there now.

If theres no solution, it means that my Klein Attitude (that's in perfect nick) is useless because of the 22mm chainstay mount. Very, very frustrating.......

Cheers

Put some brakes that work with 160mm rotors.
Xt's for example.
Hayes G1 are a bloody awful brake anyway.

Forgot to add you might need a parallel mount adapter.
