  1. Hey guys and girls,

    Finally getting ACU stuff sorted and doing my first ever trial here which should be good. who else is going to this?

    I shall be riding the blue section for now untill i find my feet :)

    Also, anyone in south eastish kent area know anywhere good for practising natural riding or is prepared to meet up etc?

    cheers,

    Jake

  2. Hmmmm good point Inur,

    i might have to check that out, but then if that is the case and the end up becoming rinsed in like a few sessions then maybe a change to sintered pads could work?

    I'm tempted to buy one as they're only £40 on Chainreactioncycles.co.uk but it's wether i have £40 to waste if it doesn't work so well.

    Another good advantage to the Deore brake system is that its like HALF the WEIGHT of the mono trial which would make it appealing, only thing it lacks is the PIMP factor.

  3. Hey guys and girls,

    Just been thinking at work while i was fitting some new disks to a bike and thought, I wonder if that shimano deore hydro disk work well with a hope mono trial hub?

    I'm guessing it would as the shimano deore brake system works well anyway but he added biteyness of the mono trial rotor, i rekon that'd be a good cheap and possibly better alternative to hope's own mono trial brake.

    I know it wouldn't have the same savage hold as the mono trial but you would probably gain abit more modulation which is a plus for both natural riding and street.

    your thoughts please? :)

    cheers,

    Jake
