flatland

I got a used Monty x-lite 221.

Monty x-lite 221 cesar canas replica, as of exactly one week ago today.

Thanks for the quick replies. I wasn't sure if any disk will be fine. Someone told me that he used a 20 grit, and he noticed a big difference between different types. Since the previous owner has done it before, I'm sure the pads on there were probably picked based on the fact that he would grind his rims. I do know grinding them too often will wear them away until they're too thin, but hopefully if I learn to do it the right way that won't be too much of an issue. Someone might be giving me a disk that he thought worked best on his Monty, so maybe this week I'll be able to get some help with making sure I do it correctly from someone that's been riding for like 11 years. edit: I cannot see the video until I am made a "full" user or whatever. Is there somewhere else on the net I can find this video?

I got a used Monty x-lite for Christmas, and the rear brake is not working as well as I'd like. I know that the rim needs a grind, but I've obviously never had to do this before. I've been told that the wrong disk can tear up my pads. What tools exactly (and parts) should I buy? The wheel is a stock wheel on my x-lite 221 if you're wondering what kind of rim I have. The pads are red, I could find out if they're stock but I doubt they are. I have heard that using different types of disks can make a big difference.

Rear brake is slipping, rear rim needs a grind. My crank arms have come a bit loose twice this week, I think I need some locktite for the threads of the crank arm bolts.

Also to be more specific, the Monty is a Cesar Canas replica 221. I don't really know a lot about trials bikes, but it seems like there are a lot of the x-lites in my area that people used to ride.

Hey, new member here from the US (northeast Ohio). I just got a used Monty x-lite mod bike with Magura hydraulic rim brakes, and have been riding it everyday since I got it. My only other riding has been flatland (bmx), which I've done for almost 5 years now, and I have a Specialized Rockhopper that I occasionally ride at nearby trails.
