Thought about getting it blasted?
Soda blasting is the least aggressive and won't pitt the alloy at all, and a local place shouldn't charge you more that £20 for a frame and fork
I got qouted for soda blasting, came back as £60 for the frame, i'm getting mine shot blasted instead, more aggressive but shouldn't pit it to much as it is only iron fillings, much cheaper aswell

looks amazing, the new grapics look amazing, better than the old version, loving the forks aswell!

I use radial one side on the front wheel with a 180mm hope disc fitted on the 3x side.
Seems fine to me.
I build wheels and will have time to check spokes and true the wheel if it ever needs it.
Front wheel is viz rim on onza disc hub, 3 months old, has had loads of learning to front and drops upto 5 foot
not really relevant to the rear wheel though is it..
-
get a mono trial, they give better hold than all the other rotors, thats from experience and what joe maher told me from his experience with that and the trialzone one.

thats crap you need to lube it! mineral oil, finish oil, or Vaseline would do it

ahh, i was looking forward to some big fails and bails not just a load of brake slipage, may i ask have any of you got a grind on your rim? or if you do are you using maggie blacks with it cause all your brakes are cack, you could improve more if your brakes worked.

this weeks was good, looking forward to the follow up, looks like there competing against each other, love hammonds towing technique, the car transformation was good and it actually made me properly laugh, not predictable gags
-
the ridings good, it looks like your imporving in all areas, but you are a massive trials addict whore.

dem ti bolts just finish it off, looks really nice nick, the new ti pedals should finish that off nicely.
and from riding it, it is actually nice and light, and feels lovely to roll around on.

i had this, new tyre new rim, i got an old thick inner tube, cut a section out and rapped it round my rim like a second rim tape, never had a problem since, worked a treat, makes it harder to get the tyre on and off though

My ice tech disks are lighter than a normal steel set, because the carriers are aluminium. Plus they look awesome

personally i would regrind, re setup, make sure you have a good bleed and get a 4 finger lever, with a good bleed you will hardly notice the sponginess, i wouldn't take the booster off till you've tried that yet. boosters do increase your hold, and with a 4 finger lever it should work amazingly, if it doesn't after all that then take the booster off, do a process off elimination
out of interest what year brake and pads are you using?
