what pads are you running ?i bet its the pads thats causing the lack of brake power
-
im using shimano xt pads on my 24,i dont run a grind as my bikes not really set-up for riding trials ,and im finding these pads pretty good so i recomend them for the front,as for the rear plaz pads or maybe inspired pads
-
I was thinking black viz hub, red Atomz Light Front rim, black spokes and gold nipples. What do you think?
i think that combo would look better,in my opinion a wheel looks better when there built with black spokes
-
dosn't that kind of ruin the point of buyin a fancy try-all tyre if that grip you expect from them is gone cause they are white lol. mite aswell just get a crawler or monty...
Nick
it does,i wasnt aware of the differance in grip rill after i was using the tire
never mind -
its easy ,try all on the front,and either a echo front or echo rear rim built to a back wheel .

i've found the white try-all's to have a longer wear life than black ones ,but this does mean the grip is less than the blacks but its still enough grip for most things .

we got banned and given 15mins to leave before we got arrested
put were aloud back now so its cool lol -
went to brf offroad coarse, didnt get too much driving done really but ened up with a lot of work to bedone to the trucks
we went down 1st slope following our mate once we started the coarse and at the bottom we winched some bloke out,then carried on following our mate along the track. he went over a slope leaving us stuck the over side ,so he turned around to winch us out ,whilst doing this he starting smoking well from his exhaust so he turned of his landy,but instead of it stoping it carried on running !
it then shot back picking up its rev's pouring black smoke all over the woodland ,at this stage he jump out as behind him was a lake and a group of trees, and it flew of the side of one tree and squeezed between another ending up parking into the landy i was just in,after a couple of moments of pushing it killed itself.
this happened about 11:15,and it took us till 3:50 to get out of the coarse with the help of 3 landys !
i got some pictures i'll get up when i get the chance ,it might be clearer showing you guys what happened rather than telling you.
great day lol
,cheers,steve -
he wasnt the only one though . . .

i use a derailer just as a tensioner,mainly because its cheap and also easy to adjust.to keep it in position im using only a inch or so of outer cable and just enough inner,and i us the barrel adjuster thing to give me the correct line.

Yeah, as Grant said there's a limited number of Pre-Production Phat Pads available before new years.
Haven't even been able to photograph them yet, so have a CAD image!
- Slimline backings, only 6mm thick - allows for better clearance and reducing the need to unnecessarily cut down material
- 8mm of traditional Phat Pad material. World-renowned for unbeatable braking power in the wet and dry, on grinds and smooth! Used for over 2 years by some of the world's top riders.
- Precision manufactured in Oxford, England; fully CNC'd to the highest standard, offering superb looks, finish and performance.
- Universal pad recess allows any standard material to be used.
- Only £25!
I'll be bringing some to Birmingham tomorrow and also Reading on Sunday so a lucky few can get their mits on them.
i dont suppose you'll be doing vee pads will you?
-
Errrrm I'll have a look for some bolts and bodge spacers
jolly good show ,bodgery for the win i say
-
as the brakes have been removed from your old frame they probably aren't set-up in a identical position as they were,so they need to bed them in to their new position on your simtra,just give it a few rides and it should get better.

try some spacers under your stem if you want to lift the front end a bit higher
cheaper than a new bar and stem combo
