Laurence--Trials

Really good video, the only down side, i wouldn't run the brake with the pad rubbing the rim, it'd drive me nuts.

Is there a lever adjustment/TPA typed thing? Other than the one on the slave?

Seems like a fantastic brake! Everything seems to have been thought of, i like it.

Haha! I thought all of those EXACT same things even before i'd read the topic He's gotta be up there with damon, tra and neil? Haha! I thought all of those EXACT same things even before i'd read the topic He's gotta be up there with damon, tra and neil?

Really big, smooth riding only thing i could fault was the music got on my nerves a little..

Front tyre: Kenda (you choose size) Bottom bracket: trial tech sport Pedals: Echo TR platform Headset: echo SL or V!Z i'd go for the SL though.

it will be fine, if rubber rim brake pads and stand being boiled disc pads DEFIANTLY can, no matter how hard or soft they are.

No it isn't hard to ruin a disc, not atall. Yes some discs are stronger than others, NORMALLY the more material the stronger the disc. The disc protector IS good, i had one in my last few months of running a disc and it did help alot, however the actual protector does bend and is hard to bend back (it hurts if you bend it back with your fingers (thats what he said )) It does take a fair few hits before the protector needs bending back though. However i guess the amount of hits depends on bike weight, obstical(spelling??), your weight and how hard you hit it. Disc brakes are a massive advantage though eg: for riding places your not ment to ride, riding late at night, riding during bad weather, not having to let down your tyre when you take your rear wheel out, theres probably a few more i haven't thought about. Disc advantages, bend the disc (obv) they're easily contaminated, you cant bath bleed your brake, they CAN be harder to set up, you mainly just need the disc straight and even between the pads though.

Oh right fair point, i didn't know it cost alot.

Its only a prototype, surly they could make one with vees?

No comment The 180 back off is cool, you learnt it well. How long have you been able to do them for? or just learnt it on the ride? EDIT: Carl, 'notgunnalie' looks like you! Click on his profile picture

Haha thanks, i feel i've been getting worse though.. not riding enough at the moment. I would say the same to you but you seem to have got to the point where you cant improve any more

Why dont they use duel vee then because thats even lighter! Wonder what it would come out as with a SUPER LIGHT build, like the 58g tubes, vee brakes, bashring, Ti spokes, etc..

That was Scott pitcher, MASSIVE rider. There was a whole Norwich ride today with about... say 11+ of us.

Todays second one: Stuart little

Thats your headset, you need to tighten the bolt that goes though the topcap, dont over do it though, just enough to stop the wobble.

Yesterday: Tropic thunder. Today:The perfect storm

Off facebook: "The YES! In Monty, leaving it with Carlos nickel!" Best pic of the bike yet IMO, looks lush, think he should have kept it front disc rear magura though.

I loled

Fair enough.. i'll just buy a new caliper for it because i like the lever think it looks good and its got a SUPER long ever.

The mono trial has a bigger piston at 25mm while the echo has one at 14mm, i spose the echo has more bite but the mono trial has more hold..

Fair enough, thought that might be the case. Had a propper read of all the reviews and i'm going to wait until i can speak to the guy who binned the brake, see what was wrong with it before i go about buying anything.. even then i might change the caliper on it. It looks to me like the reviews are all bad in 2010 but in 2011 they're good.. maybe they changed some things on the brake.. i'll see. Either way i got all my questions answered

Water bleed is only to test for leaks. Okay thanks I'm not sure why its going to be shit, because the piston is about 20mm - ish.. the echo uses a 14mm.
