I thought it might be that the expectation is more on the event organizer to publicise, but with tending to use social media only for my interests, I don't really follow that much in the way of what else is happening around near to me. I think it would just be cool to see more ''we're going to be at event-x-y-z this/next weekend/month come down and see us!" type posts just for the trials fans 🙂 Unfortunately I'm at the opposite end of the country to visit a Clan stunt show any time soon.  

Thanks for the feedback Daan. Good to know I'm not missing springs between pads, I did notice they were magnetic and retraction of the pistons would pull the pads back from the disc but it just didn't seem like much. I did fit washers under the caliper lugs to give more clearance for the disc so I am happy this is something others do too. Time to clean the pistons and bleed them I think, hopefully that will fix it.

I think you would be better suited to a 24 inch bike, but you could definitely make it work with a Hex! I would try going for a shorter stem and a lower bar.  If you are still going through a puberty age, there is still a chance you may grow too. 

No springs on the pads, the calliper pistons are magnetic. The top of the disc rubbing on the calliper itself sounds very trialsy, as in quality control, what's that? I'd just add a thin washer beneath both calliper tabs. Calliper pistons don't retract too far on the Hope brakes, so they're pretty sensitive to disc wobble. If you can push the pistons/pads in a bit more and they stay there, they shouldn't be overfilled. If they don't stay out, just remove the lever top cap and again push the pistons back. Before you do all that though, clean them up a bit first. Clearance to disc is dictated by the piston seals (bite point adjuster has nothing to do with it, as it only moves the position of the lever piston relative to the timing port), but it all must be clean to function optimally. If you then squeeze the lever a few times (with the disc between the pads obviously), the pistons will set themselves to their natural position.

I accidentally another bike…
