What about the Echo TR discs, then?
They're adjustable. Apparently they're not as strong as Hopes, but are they strong enough?

Hmmm...
Mixed views, then.
I'd expect the hopes to be a lot better, because they're about double the price. And I've definitely seen hopes and echos all over the place.
Is there really no adjuster on the maggies, though? On their rim brakes they have them...
and if not on the lever, then on the caliper?

Just been added to tartybikes' website. Just wondering how powerful they are, considering that they're only £90...
Does anyone have any experience?
& are these just as good as hope tech discs?

What you building a rip?
No, I'm just building a completely custom mod.
it'll have a 19" rear, etc. but my t-vee (my bike at the moment) is a 20" rear.

I have an old Onza budgetbike. One of the ones with two 20" wheels.
I've had a lot of trouble trying to find a 20" tyre wider than 2.0"...
I'm running a BMX Holy Roller right now which gives close to no real grip.
Cannot wait to finish building my new mod. -.-
Does anyone know where I can buy a 20", 2.2-2.7" mod tyre?
-
okay, sorted.
could you PM me your number so i can contact you if we get lost then, please?
-
will it still be icy or not? we can still go if other people are too. completely up to you.
-
Stick em back on the bike and bed them in and you'll be in a much better position I'm sure. Which brake is it?
Okay, will do. Thanks.
It's a Tektro Gemini. I don't think it's trials specific, but it's just to make my Onza Zoot look a little bit more interesting. Means I don't have to grind the rims, too.

I recently bought a second-hand hydraulic disc brake (troll away).
I re-bled it earlier, and I've used industrial-strength wipes to take off some of the ick from the actual disc and the pads.
However, I did expect it to give a strong "bite" when I squeezed down hard on the lever, rather than taking another 5 inches to stop me.
It's like I've still got small pieces of residue on it from whatever the previous owner has been doing with it...
Any idiot-proof ways of getting the rest of the residue off? (That's what I think it is, I did take two hours to bleed the system as well as I could beforehand.)
I've been told that putting the relevant parts in a solution of white spirit will get rid of any oils?

"Being infinitely more awesome than you".
So there's no actual verb for it?
we should make one.
they have trials-specific parts, why not trials-specific words?

If I get a 24'' before then I'm down
you can have a play with my zoot if you want?
i've never been before either, otb. and i'm bringing a friend too.
-
Don't know much about it, but had a few people say they'll come.
Leicester Crown Court opposite the station.
Not sure about times, and too early for decent weather reports.
-
I usually have my front at around 35psi, and my rear at 20-25.
I don't usually use my front wheel for anything interesting, though so I guess that when I get more advanced, I'll reduce the pressure.
Oh, and my rear would be a little lower if it was a 19" rim, not a 20". Damn Onza budgetbikes.

I have a problem whilst telling anybody what I was doing at the weekend.
I started off in texting by putting "trialsing", which sounded wrong.
"trialing" sounded just as bad, and it makes me sound like I'm making a person run around some circuit of death.
"riding trials" is a bit long, but sounds right.
"running trials" sounds a lot better, but again, it's a bit long.
Am I just overthinking this, or do other people have the same problem?
-
Protest in Leicester town centre.
Apparently there's also a protest against the protest, so most likely s***'s gonna hit the fan.

^ this kinda stuff.

lol im confused now,shall we say the sunday after next then if ok with everyone else?
Sorted. Might even have a front disc brake for my Zoot by then.
-
12th is much better for me too, possibly even the sunday (13th)
is my calendar wrong? Is that Sunday actually the 13th? :L
Well, as long as I actually get to meet someone, I'll be happy.
-
Can't do 4th, so if I turn up, it'll be the following Sunday (the 12th).
I'll probably start a new thread closer to the time, but yeah.
-
Saturday, Feb 4th
Sounds good.
I'm all excited about how I get to see other people do it. :L
-
Are you the young lad I spoke to at the uni a while back?
Nope, I'm not. I've only ever seen a few people around Loughborough before, and the last time was about a year and a half ago...
-
yeah thats the place, ive never not been allowed my bike on a train, you have to reserve a bike space on virgin trains though
Okay, that's great. Thanks.
I'm meeting with my friend tomorrow, so I'll post some dates at some time tomorrow. I'm on my post limit for today now anyway, but yeah.
I'm glad I found some interest.
-
oh, & does anybody know which trains let bikes on?
I've been told that inter-city do, but long routes don't?
-
crown courts in the city centre
opposite the train station?
