I used one and replied
I realised that. I meant that he'd used them on a mod and for probably a fairly similar style of riding
Edit: I do appreciate your input by the way so thanks for that

I have Saint brakes on my Sky2. I'm not using adaptors - the rear is the post mount version and the front is IS160. The brakes have incredible bite and don't slip. A bit of pad knock, but no more than any other disc brakes on the market. Weight is a bit higher than the Hope techs. If you can live with that, I would definitely recommend them.
I'm not too bothered about the weight really. I'm glad someone who's used a set has replied to this, have you ever used a mono trial? How does it compare to the saint?
-
This looks like what I need?
-
That actually sounds quite appealing, cheers for the explanation
I think I'll give it a go.
If I go for the rear left hand brake here then will it be possible to run a 160mm rotor? What adapters will I need?
-
Shimano brakes do tend to be incredably reliable, but as Ali's said the servo wave feature make the brake unpredictable for precise brake control.
In "pure" trials though, I would definately recommend them. Ive ridden a few bikes with them fitted, a 26" included, and they dont budge. So much easier to setup than hopes too.
I'm considering maybe buying a set for myself in the comming year.
So what does "Servo wave" actually do? I haven't looked into it but it certainly sounds like a downside if it makes the brake unpredictable
-
I can live with a little extra weight. They're post mount calipers so is It possible to get an adapter to run a 160mm rotor on the rear with standard IS mounts? Any other opinions?
-
I've been thinking about going for a rear saint disc on my mod. I'm running a mono trial at the moment and as good as it is I'd like a little more power. Has anyone on here used one? I'd like to know if it's worth going for one over my hope.

Lancaster road's where we normally park, it's £3.20 all day and pretty close to crown courts where people usually meetYes... though whether or not Dad will let me drive down there is another matter (He's a complete cock about letting me drive) so i'll have a word with him tomorrow.
Whereabouts in Leicester would I be parking (So I have some information to give him...)?
-
Might come if Tom and Adam come too.
In.
Is there much stuff there?
-
It's particularly shit this year. Also it's two hours long, I didn't realise it was two hours long, two hours, who watches the x factor for two hours? Two hours.
-
You didn't really get a pair of tyres?
I couldn't tell if he was joking or not, possible address mix up?
-
i have the same problem with my mono i have to space out the caliper from the frame, but after reading this i take it must be my viz hub as they are same dimensions as onza hubs, so if i got a different hub this would cure this problem?
It should do yeah, i don't know if it's worth changing your hub though it's only a few spacers
-
It's to fit their snailcamless frames.
I know, it makes perfect sense for them but it's still annoying
-
Ah, right - was going to suggest running them on the outside of your frame if you were able to, but yeah, never mind
Well that would solve my problem, if it was possible. If only onza didn't make their hubs such a flingin' flangin' awkward spacing.
-
Which frame and snail cam (if you're using them?) combo are you using?
Echo lite 2011 with TR snail cams.
-
I think an extra 3 or 4 millimetres is all I need, although I don't see a problem with them being a little too long as there isn't anything for them to hit. Thanks for the help I'll go for M6 x 25
-
I had to use quite a few spacers to mount my rear mono trial because of the odd spacing of onza hubs, so to be on the safe side I'd like to get some slightly longer bolts. I think the standard ones are M6 x 18, I'm not sure how bolt measurements work so what would I need to add a few mm's of thread? Any help appreciated! Thanks.

Nicely done dude, makes me want to do it now.
I imagine if you handled any type of tool you'd seriously injure yourself

Wouldn't they do the £899 price, minus the echo frame price, which would come to £593.64 + because frame price, which comes to £847.94
I duno, but they might?
"The specification at this price is completely fixed including colours. If you want to change any parts, the only way to do it is to purchase them separately and add them afterwards. We cannot offer any discount for taking parts off the bike"
I'd want to do it all properly the first time rather than ride it for a bit and then faff about with devalued parts.
It seems like that would be the best way to do it but obviously it's up to you.
-
Buy the full build, ride it for a while so you can save some money, then sell the frame + brakes and buy a Because Simple + BB?
-
Hahahaha that was hilarious.
But I don´t think that´s a "UK style" mofo. I rather to say "a small group of UK's TGS style riders" mofo
Definitely agree with this mofo
-
Possibly, depends on a few things arriving though.
-
Yes, 110mm hub, and the snail cams are 3mm wide each, so it all equals 116mm
I thought that was right I'd just heard people say that the disc spacing was slightly different
-
Yes, the dropouts on the frame are funny shape, so compared to other frames the disk has to be alot further inwards. You can use the monty hub on onza frames aswell
As for putting your hub in an echo frame, i dont know
It's a 110mm hub so with cams I'm guessing it'll be fine, well I hope so anyway.
