    I seem to fail more on a mod than I do on stock -_- just need to ride both more. Pretty pleased with the first clip though as its the highest side hop i've done on a mod but more improvements needed

  4. Help to choose pads

    Heatsink Yellows work well with and without a grind giving a fairly decent bite. ADM's work best as a front brake in my opinion as i've tried them rear and they work well for the first 1mm or 2 of the pad. LGM's are one of my favourite pads. great hold, doesn't kill a grind too quick great front or rear. Cousts are amazing but kill grinds too quick so if you dont mind grinding your rim a lot then they're highly recommended but Heatsink Yellows and LGM's do the job perfectly

    I originally had one of these pistons which was the one which let fluid pass it.

    I then got sent one of these with grease. First bled with water as I had no idea at the time that it was a water based fluid I was sent. I then cleaned out the system and bled it a few times with Magura Royal Blood which I did use a lot just to ensure the water based fluid and air passed out flushing the system completely but still no success and still feels like when I first got it.

    I didn't do the original I believe the guys at trials addict done that. When I got it I could pull it to bar and then fluid gushed out the lever... I've put my v brake back on the rear and sent the brake back

    Don't think it's a dodgy bleed as I've given it a few bleeds ensuring there were no air bubbles. I've stripped he brake cleaned it out ensuring most of the water was wiped from the system then bled it through a few times. The original piston was rubbish as I pulled the lever and fluid gushed out the lever body just never seem to have much luck with brakes... The only brakes that have worked were my v brakes...

    Something is definitely amis. There is an air leak somewhere.

    My racing line master (original style, 1 bolt clamp one) has been faultless since xmas 2013/new years 2014,

    Has a racing line piston, also the old style one with two o rings, lubed with silicone spray for car window seals

    2 finger magura lever

    2nd hand maggie slaves, they're gonna be really old

    standard magura steel fittings and hose, but 12.9 stainless bleed bolt

    TT 2bolt on a 4play

    Syringe bleed with water, all the fittings and bolts PTFE taped.

    Nothing special and no fancy tricks, but it is the most solid brake I've ever had - others have made comments to the same effect, and other racing line brakes I've ridden (the full £200 complete setup jobbies, front and rear in this case) feel just the same. Mine sustains a solid bleed for months on end - Good careful prep and PTFE tape is all there is to it for me.

    PTFE Tape was one of the ideas I had but of course I have to be careful with it because I don't want to get it into the system. I'm sending the brake back to Trials Addict but I think I may just get my money back, get some magura slaves and get another tocco lever as i've had no issues with it. I've had a lot of hassle unfortunately with Trials Addict but I'm hoping I can get the issues resolved

    Did you lube up the new piston before fitting it? They seem pretty temperamental if you don't grease the piston up.

    Also, have you checked out whether there are any minor leaks from the bleed screw at the cylinder? I had to bleed up a Racing Line brake 2 weeks ago and it was pretty much non-stop hassle in terms of it gushing fluid out from the cylinder bleed port and seemingly generating air out of nowhere.

    I greased up the piston and the release seemed fine and i've checked the slaves aswell but see no issue. I've had to rebleed 3 of my brakes Tensile Tocco, Echo & the racing line because when I ordered the brake I asked for fluid as I wasnt happy with the factory bleed on the Echo SL which I got sent their "own mix" which at the time I thought was going to be mineral oil as my first assumption brake fluid, oil, but i was actually sent water... I've re bleeded all 3 brakes with Royal Blood 2-3 times to get rid of the water but so far the Tocco has been the only successful one, really stiff and a great bite from the brake but the Echo and the Racingline are both spongy (Echo only had a bleed off the bike so could do with another bleed just to double check)

    Hi i got a Racing line from Trials addict and I've had nothing but issues. First I changed the lever blade to the new Trialtech blade but when i was doing that the piston shot out when i removed the blade. I then rebleeded the lever and fluid then shot out the lever. I then got a replacement piston from trials addict gave it a fresh bleed but now the brake is spongy as anything. I bleed it through a few times just to be sure there where no air bubbles but I have the TPA just over half way out, pads are pretty much millimeters away from the rim, im running a booster and it still pulls to bar with no stiffness to the brake what so ever. Anyone have any ideas on what to do?

    what made you decide to run rear V? Just out of curiosity

    I've tried it in the past as an experiment to see how well it holds which at the time i had cheap calipers and onza magura to v pad adaptors. I saw some fairly good videos with people using them and at the time i kept having a lot of issues with my brakes. I thought as I was working i may try it again but with a better set up which it worked just as well as some of my past past maguras. The only down fall was the lack of rear booster which was needed. But now back to dual hydro

    You are putting down plenty of power the key to getting further is recoil time :) become more snappy/quick with the preload and you will fly over gaps you THINK you could never do.

    I just get worried once it goes over 9ft which that one was :L the largest i've done is just over 10 and that was at radfest 2 years ago. Trying to bring my confidence back now as I hardly ride

    I remember him telling me about this but I never saw the pics.

    I think he taken it out on a ride ages ago but I never saw it in person. I can see some advantages but there are hardly any advantages to having suspension but I cant see this idea really getting out there in the trials world
