  2. First street trial contest # France

    in Videos

    Posted

    Interesting video. Some crazy tricks! In my opinion it is not the right way to combine street trials into a competition live event. Street trials is made for videos and riding outside combined with your creativity. However we need the support of live audience to make the sport bigger, so from that point of view this event is cool! Danny Mac's Drop and Roll Show is another way of showing the sport to people. All in all it's cool to see more and more people trying to develope this sport in any direction....

    We managed to have a great Trials Weekend from the 30.5.-1.6.14. So happy we had the Drop and Roll Team as a premiere at the Velofruehling Baden, Switzerland. As one of the main organizers I am happy to present you some of the pictures and videos.

    It was an amazing weekend together with Duncan, Danny, Fabio and the rest of the team. Thanks again to everybody. Enjoy!

  7. Saint M810/820 differences/setup

    Cool to hear about all your experiences. I still run the hope tech setup in front with a shimano slx disc (sm-rt56) which has a constant super good pressure point and grip. In the rear I tried to get used to the shimano saint M820 setup. As mentioned by other members I do also have some thoughts about the lever which seems very flexible, the pads tend to move quite a bit and even generate some noise. I did bleed the whole system and played around with the pistons until I got things to work right. Unfortunately the pressure point and lever travel still tend to change week after week. At the rear I was still using the hope 180mm disc. I change now to the shimano xt 180mm ice tech rotors. Hoping to get a constant brake feel...even when I had a good pressure point with the saint the bite was not strong enough to stop the rear wheel from slipping from time to time.

    I mesured the two discs but found no differences in its thickness, sorry the picture quality isn't perfect...

    Trying your advice Mark, thanks for sharing :wink2:

    Hope

    Thank you all for your help! I'm def. gonna try the XT Rotors, I just noticed that the Hope Rotors are really easy to bend. Broke one like that recently. I read somewhere that they are actually thinner, not sure if that is true though. I might mesure them when I have both off.

    @shercofray, have you had any pressure point movements when first using the M820?

    @Ali, I feel really honored to get a reply from you!!! LiamW. used the right words, "high profile people" +1 ; )

    @Leon, will def. try your trick with the wheel out. Thanks so much!

    I was wondering why Danny, Ali, Tartybikes &&& all use/sell the M810? Is there any advantage over the M820 Lever?

    Which Rotor would you suggest? Danny uses en SLX 6 bolt I believe on some pics, on others the XTR. Ali I believe you use the XTR ones mostly?

    Last but not least I got an M820 Saint using the standard Hope 180mm discs of my Fourplay Team but I am unable to get the pressure point far enough away from my handlebar. It feels like I have to pull the Lever to the grip till I get the back wheel 100% locked up!? Any ideas how to change that?

    Great show overall, liked Danny's part a lot since they didn't use slow-mo & thousands of show effects which kind of put the sport in background...

    Of course those effects looked also great but i prefer less.

    Danny's stuff definitely seemed higher then in movies before with even more risk, bit worried about him getting injured... hope he can cope well with

    the public pressure not to go much bigger then that. Don't wanna see him in a wheelchair!
