i think top gear proved this: jet powered minis = amazing. now i need to find a road going version

in which case i take it back

1)trials pads are soft 2)soft pads wear quickly 3)grinds increase friction meaning pads wear down more quickly than usual 4)dragging brakes wears pads down really quickly do the maths. if u ride a trials bike u expect the pads to wear down quickly. no way round it im afraid.

so long as u buy the more expensive ones like the shadow conspiracy one then they are fine. the cheap 9.99 half link chains tend to be pretty poo in my experience

id have thought they would weigh a poop load. and u can get steel discs to bite pretty well anyway so i guess its not worth the effort to make. maybe in the next few years

if youve been up writing essays or cramming its always good to have a break and browse the forum before finishing/going to bed.

cheers man thats awesome, ive been meaning to find that calculator for ages. wont have to ring up my local bike shop for spoke lengths now.
