Racing line metal piston should solve the issue of a lazy lever piston? On tarty/trials addict under rim brake spares

Good evening What is the spoke length for this hub if i was building it onto an echo tr rim Thanks Tom

The gap is correct or twatting it with the hammer haha

Cheers dave. Dan chandler just rang me and said give em a decent smack on and they will do the business. Mantra for life i feel haha

No mate bolt went in easy and has come out the same

the cranks are as tight as they will go. the spacer is on as far as it will go, it actually moves forwards and backwards between the bb bearing and the arm. I will upload pics in a bit.

Just fitted a pair of trialtech cranks to my GU frame pushfit (echo bottom bracket) I have used the echo bb spacers that come with it tightened cranks up but noticed there is a gap between arm and bb spacer, maybe 4mm enough for the spacer to be moved with my fingers is this safe to ride? at this stage i have my doubts what is the remedy for this issue? i can upload pics if people are interested but hopefully my description is sufficient many thanks tom

If it is a case of not paying out for a tool, would it be worth sending it to tarty for a service/fix whatever the problem is?

04 madness!!!

Ok so the progress so far Stripped out the brakes as advised by adam Blasted the hoses through with wd 40 and then air to dry Did same with lever body after piston and spring removal (removed all grease/mayo type crap). All now completely empty and clean New raceline pistons and spring on their way Cylinders blasted with wd40 around area where pad is inserted to removed crap also left drying Do i need to do anything now as prep ready to put them back together ready for bleeding? Already got some antifreeze ready to do a water mix, any recommendations on the ratios? Or is it a case of re-assemble and bleed? Really keen to get this right and get the best working brake i can. Many thanks Tom

Thanks adam How is the piston removed from the lever? How long is it before you are going to get the raceline pistons back in stock, might treat myself soon

As in all hoses off and cylinders off or to the extent of taking the cylinders to bits and lever to bits (if that is even possible)

Right its getting ripped to bits over the weekend!! Any ideas if these metal raceline pistons are worth a crack?

Any guides or how to's for this?

Not that i am aware of Issues are Slow lever return Inconsistency of lever feel leading to constant tpa fiddling

Just got out on the bike after a looooong time off (teacher woes) Brake is bled with water. No doubt during my bikes time in the garage it will have frozen then thawed, foolishness led me not to antifreeze bleed. Any way i can get this brake back to its former glory, a post winter maintence to do list would be a dream! I hope i dont have to go on the hunt for a new brake Thanks in advance, thomas

What bar and stem setup are you usuing really like the way the bike sets up on the rear wheel

Ran yours... This is your old one haha

I have ran pads without domed washers before no issues. Main thing to watch is that you pack out the pad axle at the bolt end so that you can get an allen key head in there fully for tightening.

Just in the process of fitting a dofferent headset now dan. Could well be though. If it is still stiff with different headset struggling for ideas

Yeah they seem to be, used a headset press to fit them and there are no gaps etc between headtube and cup

Good evening just done a frame swap and had an issue with the headset Tightened the starnut up and now the bars barely rotate at all. Pretty sure it wasnt overtightened as i only nipped it up enough to prevent play in the headset. The headset is an echo, the frame is an ozonys curve. Any solutions to my problem or possible issues. Many thanks tom

Its probably topics like this that have lured them in...

I know i got scared
