Front magura isant bad with good pads you will get the same braking power as a disk plus they're alot lighter i run front magura at the moment and i love it its up to you though if you care more about looks or if you care more about weight your choice regards Ryan

I was focusing more on the adapter than the avid its self lol it was just an idea of what i mean have you got a disk brake on your bike at the moment ?

Look at this http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?id=10083 see the bit the caliper is connected to that is the adapter you can get all diffrent sizes of these for all difrent sizes of rotor

Well it depends if the caliper has an adapter or not because it could be 160 185 or 203 all depends on the adapter hope iv helped regards Ryan

Go on ebay see if you can find an echo or some thing with good spec £700 will get you far on ebay and after you boght a bike off there you will have loads of money left to upgrade bits or save regards Ryan

I have cut my bash mounts off before using a grinder hacksaw and file what you do is get a grinder grind the weld down as much as posible till you think its getting close to the frame then take the hacksaw and cut into were you think the mount starts and as soon as you think your close to the mount and you have done this all the way around the weld and the opisite side to get some mole grips clamp it to the mount and give it a sharp pull the mount will come off and you file up the welds jobs a good one regards Ryan

glad i could help

What to do is drill a hole near the top and bottom of the head tube then drill two in the middle but at the sides but keeping it on the face of the head tube so your not weakening it. Then take a blade out of a hack saw put it in a hole cut it out like dot to dot then if you have a file take it and neaten it up. Then with a fine sand paper take the rough edges off after this you should end up with a dimond shape in your top tube. This will save waight and looks pritty nifty hope iv helped regards Ryan

Its not a bad idea but as one of the comments say it wouldent be profitable and if your at a compotition they will probobly have the odd spare and tools anyway

thank you everybody thats replied i will try them and see what there like thanks for the help

Hi im thinking about getting rock blues does any one have/used these pads and what are your results thanks regards Ryan

I have a 20" and i cut the bash plate mounts off to save weight as i did not need a bash ring and a bash plate , and this saves breaking your bash plate too
