  1. +1 for the arcade for learning, but the hex will still work. i run my seat slightly higher when doing barspins. For me its the front brake lever that takes the most time to adjust to. Good luck with it...ill upload one here for you to look at.

  2. Hi on the pro 2 ive never had an issue running one for 11years now :-)..my hope pro4 hub is 6 months old and ive changed the pawl+springs two times now. The corner seem to crack of and the debris get crushed inside...first time it got  sorta noisy...second time it locked up the wheel, turning my bike into a fixie....Good thing is has NEVER skipped on me..

  4. Hi been on the darkside a few years now, i ride 3-4 times a week usually one long session 4h (mainly pure trials)and 2-3 small ones 1,5 hour(street+skatepark).. main problem is HARSH landings (2m drop to flat), hang up on dirtjumps ect...other than that i do some shoulder/leg/back streching 2-3 times a week about 30min per session... i have friends in the 50's still charging...:-) so no reason to stop anytime soon...The magic trick for me seems to be warming up/ light streeching before riding 5-10min.. and loads of Coffee...

    One thing to remember is that any movement in the pads gets magnified the smaller the rotor gets. What I mean is there is less noticeable "flex" with larger rotors and rear wheel moves feel more accurate.

    I'm probably explaining this badly but small rotors = more wheel movement when brakes are locked....large rotors = less movement. 

    i get it...explanation is fine..

    What’s the main problem you are having with rotors? I haven’t used anything smaller then 203mm with a 4 piston caliper with Red EBC pads which works as a great setup. 

    Hi john Dont know if i have a problem ;-), just wanted to hear if there where people riding smaller rotors. im 82kg 180mm rotor & running shimano zee 4 piston brake (never slips, but i think 140-160mm could be fine to)

    -1 getting it out of the way i for when i bail of the bike (etc tailwhips , i tend to land behind the bike and sometime cut my leg on rotor.)  

    -2 less flex = less change of pad rub

    -3 more ground clerance 

     

    well gues only option is to try it out.
