How does it ride with the +85 BB and long 375mm chaninstays??
-
For the week and a half that they last...
The 1st pair to come off the production line are still going 6 months later and there half worn.

MR MCARTHUR
I remember the first video I saw of you and this has gotta be ten times more enjoyable. Great lines,great music,great work.
One suggestion get closer to the edge before gapping to get more distance. My two cents.
-
Full points for bravery on the rail ride.
I sure I speak for all when I say I like to see it done.
-
oh right so it was whoever was closest across both sites?
Yep.
-
Think the last compititions they have had one on otn and here and there was winners from both?
Sorry guys only one to give away this time. The too good to give too many away.

TNN Engineering Welcomes Wesley Belaey to the team.
After meeting Wesley are the Worlds in Canberra earlier this year. He agreed to trial the TNN LGM pads soon after Accepting a sponsorship deal.
New sponsor for Wesley
Last week I have made a deal with TNN Engineering to work together for 2010. TNN engineering is a very young company that designs CNC made trial parts and brake pads. I've been riding the pads for about 2 weeks now and I must say that im impressed on how much bite they have in the rain and in dry weather.. Also a nice feature is that if your brake pad is worn out you can easily buy refills that click into the aluminium backings. So that you are ready to go again.

Your post motivates me to ride.

A NEW SPIN ON AN OLD IDEA.
Integrated Clamps and booster
TNN Engineering has designed an integrated booster and clamping system that removes all the weak links (Flexy long bolts, spacers and the plastic washer)
By optimising the booster position along the centre line of the slave cylinder, all braking forces are directly on the booster instead of wasting braking power on the flexing bolts, spacers and the frame.
Booster
Computer designed using the latest software and Finite Element Stress Analysis (FEA)
Designed to be a perfect compromise between stiffness and light weight at 43 grams.
Internal booster ribs dramatically increases the stiffness - "Like bracing on a bridge"
Clamps
Designed with function and performance in mind.
Clamps don't use standard plastic washers for quick and easy setup.
Noticeable increased stiffness and locking power.
Slim line and minimalistic design keeps weight down and allows for 2mm longer adjustment slots.
A necessity if your clamps are maxed out of adjustment.
Can be used with or without TNN Engineering's booster.
Competition rules are as follows.
Guess the Complete Ultimate system weight and LGM pads (bottom photo) weight to 2 decimal places. E.G 107.58 grams
One complete system and LGM pads to give away closest,earliest guess win.
One guess per person and editing of guess allowed.
The competition will end on Monday morning 19th of October.
Here's a clue the total weights between 105 and 110 grams.
Good luck!
They'll be in store the same time the competition ends.

If your chasing a firm lever feel and want to reduce the flex. It's the whole brake you need to work on.
#1 cnc backed pads are stiffer
#2 running a booster (but not all booster set ups are created even) Most booster system are the same (long flexy bolts and spacers)
#3 Magura clamps that don't use the plastic washers.
#4 inbuilt frame boosters are very effective.
I'll be releasing a new booster system in about 2 weeks I think you'll like it.

Why do i seem to be having no luck with my TNN LGM pads? Iv spents ages setting the pads up square, used new cutting disks on the rim left wheel in frame to iliminate contamination and there still nothing special.
Im using a monty rim however, Something to do with the material there made of maybe?
How long have you been running the pads for?
-
I just uploaded TNN's latest video blog on to youtube.
This episode is a guide to grinding your rim with some useful tips from Le and the usual cheesy acting from him and Lewis.
This is our guide to a consistent performing grind.

Oops
Please go to trials video.

Finally got to meet Ben Slinger at the Worlds. Top riding mate you've done the TNN LGM's proud!
-
The LGM's are a stunning pad in the wet. Last for ages the only test rider to wear out a pair so far is TRA and he rides heaps!
They are outta your budget but that'll last you a long time and are cheap to refill.
This is as good as braking can sound.

It's possible about the PSI thing. I had a crossover that was clear, briefly. I had an air bubble in there (the tube was too wide so it leaked) and when you squeezed the lever, the bubble, maybe 2cm wide, would shrink to a pinprick size.
Ok we have a magura test rig with a pressure gauge on it. http://tnnengineering.com/15701/16101.html With the old skool magura lever (but still the same piston size as the current HS33) and the short two finger lever. We can achieve over 1000psi with one finger if you used two fingers and had a 4 finger lever 2000psi is certainly realistic. Where or not your frames is stiff enough is another question. When it comes to your magura set up there's no such thing as stiff enough.

Someone said to me today they are from Austrailia if thats how its spelled, so thats why its taking long and ting.
They were posted off yesterday so expect them soon.
-
Mate use a NEW disc at 90 degrees that'll get you a sharp grind.
Use a thin cutting disc that'll be most forgiving on the rim.
Use a thicker NEW disc for more aggressive grind.

Ok competition is over!
And the winners are:
Travistrials 3.03g OTN
Mr Bob 3.03g T.Forum
Big AL 3.03g T.forum
Please send me a PM with your mailing details.
The caps are available from tarty's,expressivebikes.com and trialspads.

Not if it's the three closest... they all would win.
That's right!

Hi all,
I just like to show off the new TNN Engineering ultra light stem cap. Proudly CNC machine in Australia from 6061 Aluminum. Made with just as much care and expertise as all of the TNN products.
Tested to triple the max recommended headset torque settings. It a easy way to add bling and save some grams.
Competition rules are as follows.
Guess the Stem cap weight to 2 decimal places. E.G 2.58 grams
3 Stem caps to give away closest 3 guesses win.
One guess per person and no editing of guesses allowed.
The competition will end on Monday morning 6th of July.
Here's a clue the stem cap weights between 2 and 4 grams.
Good luck!
They'll be in store the same time the competition ends.

You can get them to fit by hacking them up with a stanley knife. But it won't be easy to get a proper fit due to the tiny square holes.
http://www.trialspads.com/shop/trials-brak...sc/refill-pads/
So you brake pad is going to end up flexy,under powered and won't hold anywhere as well as it could. If you can I highly recommend the complete LGM pad. I only received excellent feed back about the performance of this compound.
-
So do you guys do vee pads yet?
We currently have a batch in stock with original CRM compound in them. LGM are also available but only in refill form.
So expect them in stock within a few weeks.

Have you/tnn ever thought of making disk brake pads?
i know that theres alot more to do and more models to make but if you did surely you'd be the no.1 trials disk pad maker?
possibly XC/DH ect too?
just a thought
..rob..
Plazmatic/Chris Russ did make some in the past. They did work extremely well real on/off braking but only suitable for disc with no holes. Now days standard disc brakes are up to the task so there's no real need for better performance.

TNN has just sent Ali C some prototype LGV pads for testing with all new backing (interchangeable with LGM only 1mm thinner) should be out soon.
