  1. After 3rd dead magura lever in a pretty short period of time i descided to try something new... And I have bought 2 new Hayes A2 brakes.

    So... Both calipers started leaking after first ride.

    But i enjoyed this brakes so much :(. Ok, i installed 2 repair kits for the calipers.

    1st ride after rebuilding brakes - ok

    2nd ride - leakage from the all 4 pistons.

    These brakes are just a meme.

    Warranty doesn't work for this local diller.

    Frustration or not, it does look spiffy. Throw it out though, what frustrated you most? On my Silex it was the stupid hose guide on the fork. Filed it off eventually. And a lot of bolts included for the rear wheel chain tugs, but none long enough to run it in the only position you'd want to run it in. But hey, at least the whole thing was welded together straigher than my Hex, both fork and rear end.

    I do see you don't want to run any Hope or straight connected brake with the way it's mounted back there haha. How many of these bikes do you have now? 😁

    I cracked left dropout on the TMS Silex V2 from the second sidehop. What do you know about frustration? xD

    Out of interest, how are you measuring that? If it's the normal trials reach measurement, the Arcade you've got there has a much longer head tube than the older one which will skew things a bit.

    I had both frames in my hands. Fixed bottom bracket and rear end on the welding table. I didn't measure the reach, just seen the difference in the length of the front triangle (headtube axle was moved 5-7mm forward in 19 arcade). In this case Arcade with wishbones was shrorter.

    Hey, good luck with it. So I think it was both sides but they weren't very developed so hard to see. I wasn't 100% sure they were both cracks, could have just been stress in the paint but if you are doing it worth doing both sides. Hope you enjoy it 🙂

    So, 2 cranks. Second one was veeeery small. Thanks for the frame :P

    P.S. My friend has ~2013 arcade frame in garage (with cracked brakemount and seatpost). Compared them. Older one is for about 5-7mm shorter (shorter frontend). Just a fun fact.
