    Water doesnt have as good of lubricating properties as oil, and can cause the piston to swell up as mentioned, but its a hit and miss thing. In one brake system it could work fine, in others it can cause trouble.

    So its only me that tapes them to my stomach for extra clearance?

    Reminds me of when my girlfriend suggested me to ride in a mankini, then asked wouldn't my ass be cold on the seat...

    Now that i look at it, why do you need massive holes for the cylinder bolts? i guess to compensate for the lack of inwards/outwards adjustment? The levers look uncomfortable too

    Is that springs helping the pads return? What a lashup!

    They're now offering the same package with twice the ram (now 512mb) for the same price

    I always thought motorcycles did it for less brake fade, as the braking force is separated between two disks? I doubt braking force is an issue on a motorcycle, as surely the limiting factor would be traction?

    I've got 2 stocks in my kitchen

    On a sidenote, get your ass down truro sometime for a ride

    Pretty much all still pubs, so nothings changed

    No, just stop being a monkey and reeming them up. Use the longest bolts you can find, a little bit of grease of the threads, and just 'nip' them up till the brake cylinders don't move, simple as!

    Could always go down the motorcycle route and have dual front disks

    My only criticism is your website layout. It'd make navigation much easier if you had a standard navigation bar across the top or left side, which was exactly the same amongst all pages.

    Rob, the fitting instructions links you to the terms and conditions Edit, just seen it's down the page, my bad

    Best advice ever On a serious note dan, you might get away with using an adjustable spanner, and gently bend the disk tab back in. It properly wont be perfect, but you cant make it any worse
  16. Martin Reynolds
    That's an issue with the disk mount dude, no doubt about that! Looks like its bent out
  17. Martin Reynolds
    If the disk rubs the pads, i.e the disk isnt true to the caliper, it isnt an issue with the dish of the wheel. Unless he's unfortunite enough to have a wheel thats not dished correctly, and brake mount that needs to be re-surfaced Dam, snaked by dan

    Do you have a video for that?

    in that case, id be tempted to drill and tap it completely through. i run an stock x-ray where the snail cam bolt hole goes completely through the frame, and its been fine for the last year, and i run some pretty high chain tension!

    Something like liquid metal would be far stronger, and more suitable
  21. Martin Reynolds
    I knew that'd get mis-interpted. I didnt mean 'you' as in you dan, i meant as in people in general
  22. Martin Reynolds
    Either would be strong enough. You're pretty special to thread a snail cam bolt, all you need to do is 'nip' them up so they don't come loose.
  23. Martin Reynolds
    You could always get it tapped and use a m6 bolt?

    the angle? or because they're on the wrong side cause he's foreign?
