Its not that expensive to anodize a frame..We do ours with a hard coat (gunmetal) for $45

Im Welsh, so im sure if they let me then all are welcome...lol

Thats about spot on..

The frame is a custom Haro and it has a seat to give it a "regular" bike look for the hundreds of demos he does every year. Great guy with mad skills!!

Yeah, sorry i left out "with" And if you want your pads to hit the rim square then you do need to use the washers..

For comparison....Caelifera backing with coust pad and 1 conical washer versus Plaz backing without pad and both of the required washers.

New from Caelifera components...Vee backings and boosters Boosters weigh in at 72 grams. Made from 6061 T6 and hard anodized. 80mm-100mm spacing The backings are made from 6061 T6 and also hard anodized. Machined to look like the maggie versions only slimmer and the best part is the concave recess in the back that allows the use of a conical washer without it pushing the brake arms way out. (Pictured without the included ss bolt) Post or pm for more details...

The gold, black and grey are aluminium....

Or you go go a totally different route and get caelifera backings..

Ali, the plastic backings are not the same material as the ones you tested. I tried to break these new ones with a hammer and failed!!!!! Hopefully tarty should be carrying a few of my parts shortly.

Next up from Caelifera are the following components...(all produced in house) Aluminium boosters, bash guards and backings, anodized in three different colours. Gun metal grey, black and gold. Super light acrylic booster with intergrated spacers. And revolutionary new polycarbonate backings. These things are virtually indestructible and weigh approx 4grams each!!! Boosters are available with ss or ti bolts and backings are available with coust or the new tango rubber. Hopefully this is just the tip of the iceburg and we can continue to bring more new and exciting products to the bike trials world. Stay tuned!!

You boys better get your shit together our you'll miss out!! This went out today to the first of the "around the world" US riders.
