Anyone know a) when the Tech 3 levers will be available, and b) if they'll work with pre-Evo X2 calipers?

dunno but it does mention a Hope DROPPER seatpost here.........

Other products that we are looking at are telescopic seat posts and our own range of rims. But like with all our products they won’t be released until we are happy to put our name against them!

Mind you, the reason the seatpost's called Eternity is due to the length of time taken to get it to market 😛

@Blazin-saddles Is the lever profile the same, or has it changed?

Got an email from hope this morning - they don't have a firm date, but suggested Nov / Dec.
Could be a 'to me, from me' for Christmas then... 🙂

This might swing the full-bike-vs-custom-build decision, then (see other thread).

Ratherbeintobag... It's different, similar lever shape and BP adjusters, one sided slanted reservoir and much smaller. looks very neat.

Good to hear the lever shape is similar, as I like my Tech levers. They are, however, a bit bulky...
