  1. And you found the other problem besides the pads. If the brake was water bled before and wasn't serviced properly then the easiest way is to just get a proper, working brake..
  2. This depends on the setup. If your current brake pads are used and gotten thin then yes, new pads with new setup will stop that problem. You could fix it right now by screwing the TPA in from the leaver (the red thingy on leaver blade).
  3. Also, there is the quick semi-fix to use tar with Magura pad's but for your own safety, get some proper pads!
  4. You must give more information.. What pads, rim, grind/no-grind etc.. If you pull the leaver and brakes don't start moving right away then the bike shop made some bad bleeding...
  5. Well just.. lol. Did they even test theyr cranks. Feel sorry for anyone who has to STOP RIDING YOUR BIKE
  6. Looks epic, and as i have heard all the previous crewkers ride epic as well. Oh i can not wait untill one day, when i actually buy it Also, as mentioned before, can we get the Geo pealse, thanks!
  7. 1) Flippable, 2 bolt leaver blade (2011+ magura, Racing line) 2) 4 bolt clamps and slaves that don't move and are easy to adjust. Best clamp + slave combo i have used is Echo TR slaves + TNN clamps. Big advantage is the smooth clamping area of the slave on Echos (as well as Racing line): In my opinion, don't go crazy with weight, in the case of braking performance the weight is not so important (i mean, i would take a break that weighs 100g more then a bad brake that is light weight). Good luck, hope to see some amazing products!
  8. As said before, it's a gamble. The leaver blade it self is epic and comfier then anything else I've tried but the price.. You could buy 2 HS11, with 4 finger leaver + spare parts. Or some places still have 2005 model in stock to, that's the best bet. If money is not a problem, go for it.
  9. From my own experience i can also say that your body weight have a much bigger difference in riding (also bodyweight difference can be much larger compeard to few grams on a bike vs up to 10kg of bw). For example if i have the sweet body fat from cold winter and weight training on i weigh in about 95kg, there is TONS of power but riding is much much more fun when i'm down to ~85-87 kg.
  10. Hey, id recommend you to buy size 46, as trials shoes intend to be a bit bigger. There is a good chart at Tarty to compere sizes http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/images/custom/clothing/large_shoechart.jpg
  11. Hey, also from personal experience, TI axelse (edit: Echo TI caged pedals) lasted for 2 weeks. I'd also recomend you Try-all single cage pedals as they are significantly stronger and have lasted up to 1 and a half year the most (im 92-94kg).
  12. Hey, i can't comment on the prices but for the packaging just go and ask for a bike box from some local bike shop. If you have 26" bike then ask for 26" box, take off front wheel, stem+bar and pedals. You can but in some riding clothes for filling it up so it doesn't move in the box. Wrap it in with some plastic wrapping and your fine to go! (also in the future you could ask your travel agensy to check, if it's possible to get your bike on for free. For example we went to iran with my friend and we got our bikes there for free)
  13. Same here, Bar's are grate! Been using one for ~3 years now. Go for it!
  14. It can start leaking if the cut is deep enought so you must be carefule.
  15. I'd be interested to hear about that to. And are you going to sell those 2014 maguras in tarty to? been waiting them since first info came out..
  16. I have always loved koxx karbon stocks.. Just googled and found kinda hot karbon:
  17. Epic, It wasn't all rain and mud, 1/4 was with nice weather. I regret not going there
  18. Get KMC Z510 HX and change it every season or if possible then even more frequently, then you'll be all right! BTW Epic bike, would ride!
  19. I believe i did it before filming it and i have done it higher to, but thanks
  20. Try-all black cranks looked something like that (sorry for shitty pic) They're not totally flat like the ones on taobao.
  21. Looks really nice though some of the parts wouldn't be my first choice. Hope it rides like a diamond to!
  22. DAYUMM! would ride/10. though echo fork + disc is the only thing i would change..
  23. Done a bath-bleed several times now, works well.. Overall, it is spongy and i have to bleed it about every other month.. Hope that they'll come up with something awesome and bring out an updated model or something..

    Csc Rim Brakes

    So if you don't use CSC pads you can't use those little springs and then you'll have an terribly slow pad respond?
  25. Practice a lot and go ride with other riders. If you don't have anyone to ride with then watch videos and a lots of them!
