As above...ive put some koxx forxx (420mm) ona zoo pitbull 04 frame(1080 wb one)...and have just found out they're designed for 405mm forks....will it make a difference? Mines currently running 20mm bb rise...but this seems a bit high? Help?!
Pads: Heatsink Xmas greens Time used: Nearly 2 months Rim used: try-all Mod/Stock: Stock Grind: Yes(light) Brake used: Magura, normal lever, normal hose, rb booster on 4 bolt Review: At first I wasnt that impressed. They didnt sound great and still dont, and wouldnt hold. After a week or so the hold and bite improved loads and bedded in nicely. They are also very impressive in excessively wet conditions. When used with a smidge of tar they have some noise, but for the majority of the time they are silent. The wear rate is decent, worn bout 1mm in 2 months.
Thats the thing, it would make more sense .... the mods must get so bored wading through the utter crud that turns up in NMC, wouldn't this save them the hassle and make sure people that deserve to get validated, do? The only disadvantage i can see in my own idea is that if someone joins, and has loads of friends they might nominate he/she, although if that person were friends with that many trials riders the chances are that he/she would already ride to a fair standard and therefore ahve a fair amount of technical knowledge.
Right, Just a quick question; one of my mates (by the name of ravemonkey )has been a member for 2 and a half months still isn't validated....All his posts are informative, good grammar, spelling etc and meet all of the criteria in the scientists guide to validation...he's broken no rules and responded to loads of posts.... Can i nominate him for validation? or is it against the rules ? Can a mod look at his posts please? Please don't flame me, im only asking....
Basically what ravemonkey said.....discs do have more modulation and rim brakes are affected by wheel buckling...but is still prefer my 12 year old raceline with koolstops to any other brake ( apart from when it gets wet! )
