Fair enough. My Echo came faced though. edit: Since when does having a clue about bikes/bike parts have to do with knowing how to ride trials?

Add some more kilos and that would be me.

It's gonna scrape off anyways and a Trials Frame won't hold enough to be damaged by rust.

For the price they're asking? Absolutely.

That might be the case if it's an Avid adaptor.... I've had problems with two and read of many instances where a Shimano disc brake doesn't really fit, even with Shimano adaptors. Oh and about the braking power... I currently run a Hope Trialzone with a Shimano disc (Hope disc is on its way). The pads stand over on the bottom for about 7mm. It still brakes incredibly well.

600GBP frame that doesn't even come with faced head-/ bottom bracket tube.

Lets just say he was speechless.

I didn't have a clue either then. Thanks. Will check mine every once in a while then.

You don't really have a clue do you?

An interesting place to snap them. How did it happen.... Gosh... you're so informative.

Disc or HS33? Where? Picture?

True.

Some rotors/pads need more bedding in than others. Just give it a good ride downhill and brake sharply for 10 times; not to a full stop though. This should solve the problem. I suppose that these are resin pads. Am I right?

You have to bed them brakes in. Did the brake come with resin or sintered pads? If the latter, than the brake in period will take a long time on a trials bike. The resins have to be bedded in as well. When setting up the brake, did you clean the rotor with alcohol (I use 100% Isopropanol)? Lever travel is at least 2-3cm on an SLX brake so this is nothing to be worried about. If the disc is true, take the wheel out, pull the lever once and put the wheel back in. The pad wear adjustment will have pumped the pistons closer to the brake so that you don't have to pull the lever that far anymore. Other than that, an SLX brake is pretty much a plug and play brake. edit: About the pad not covering the entire disc area. Try using a Shimano IS->PM adaptor. If that doesn't help, your IS mount isn't placed correctly. Although... I've had to put shims under two Shimano calipers in order to get the pads placed correctly. In my case, they were too low, which isn't really a problem. If they are too high, there's nothing you can do about that really. Do your pads stand over the disc on the top?

Is it the Protection/Apex version? Try to get one bed onto the rim (which should be possible anyways) and then get it to sit in the center of the rim. Then put some soapy water on the other side (actually on both beds) and get it on. Should work.

That's 156cm.... Holy f**k!

How high is that one. When Flip walks past that wall it's almost his height.

What's TLC?

How the f**k????!!!!

It does in a certain chicken like way. See Ali C. for further reference.

Chris King offers a 12T steel one as well. Rather expensive though. Gusset would be my choice or a Halo.

Too many problems with the 2014er version. Have had it for a week and it didn't work properly anymore. Other local riders complained as well and online you can find a plethora of complaints about that brake. I wouldn't bother.

Probably broke on the ramp before the jump. Too little air inside the forks, bottomed out and cracked.

Are there actually some pictures of the complete build?

That might very well be but as I haven't seen yours yet, I'll stick with the Kabra for now.
