1handedluke Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 (edited) cold weld *** its holding the lever and the disc adaptor. stuff works wonders! it looks pretty bodged and to be honest it was. for the short time i've rode it on the curb outside it seemed to ride fine. if the allen key holds for a couple of weeks, ill be grinding it down and spraying it to look alot cooler.thanks luke Edited September 4, 2007 by 1handedluke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1handedluke Posted September 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 Hahaha that lever is great The bike looks amazing, how do the brakes work? Powerful enough hopefully?there abit on off, quite hard to setup and i still haven't finished setting them up yet, cheers for your help inur forget to mention that they seem to hold ok, can't powerwheely a short distance and land on the front wheel wise it slips, which i think is something to do with the setup.

basher Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 They new brakes? once they bedded in i bet they are bloody sharp especially with the extra leverage. Might be worth grinding the allen key abit to make it bit more comfortable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Trials 31 Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 Hey, what was wrong with your old Adamant? I like this, but personally I liked your Adamant much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fixed Pants™ Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 That's absolutley brilliant Luke! Must be such a bitch to get the brakes to work at the same time/same power though!Awesome, hope it serves you well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1handedluke Posted September 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 (edited) A change is good for everyone, i love it, id love to have a go, them frames really were the best,Adam i swapped the TI for my Adamant because it had the mounts, wise i would of kept the adamant i might save up and invest for a csar! the rear mount for the TI didn't actually fit because the 203 was to big and hit the frame so i had to make the adaptor which you can see.Fat Pants Posted Today, 12:38 AM That's absolutley brilliant Luke! Must be such a bitch to get the brakes to work at the same time/same power though!i throught the same, but if one brake is slighty closer then where you can see spliter one of the cables will just stick out abit more then the other one, so its almost self adjusting because when it pulls it just pulls at a angle!

JohnyMilton Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 ok? That is intresting! see the adpartor on the rear is it just a piece of metal that you drilled?l Is it holding well, it looks a bit naff! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishy Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 i dont get why the massive lever blade is nessceryBecause, I think, instead of pulling one brake it's pulling two, so it need the extra leverage for power? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greetings Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 Just hope his brake works well, if not I'll receive the beating since it was all my idea, well apart from extending the lever with an allen key Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King C Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 Grip Leverage so he can get more powerLooks nice. Thats a bodge if I ever saw one. Good work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1handedluke Posted September 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 went out on it today seemed abit poor to be honest, but i've just got home and bedding in the back brake again, seems alot more powerful. when i put the water on it, steam came off. done it twice, just need to extend the lever abit more with something longer, about another 2 inchs i reckon, to have it feeling nice! then hopefully it will be sorted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
