go for better brake pads as well

I run MT4 since 2018 and MT2 on front. So far 4 caliper adapter had been broken yet the caliper stays the same. Just using cheap metallic pads and power is massive for me.

if only I could buy another bike.....

about the chains, periodical replacement is very reasonable. But sometimes, things beome tricky when someone gave you a new and bit expensive chain (kmc 710sl) and that was last 2017. Never had any breaks on these chains compared to ybn than had make multiple breakd in just 3 months. What I did is install (DIY) spring loaded chain tensioner, wheels slammed, chain stretch not noticeable and as of now, still rolls fine for me.

Hello everyone! I am Mark Philip Madera from Philippines and currently working in Macau(SAR). Dreamed of trials bike since 1995 and now I am 40 years old. I just started learning on 2018, exactly the same year after i built the echo pure 26, given by a friend during mid 2017. I rode bmx, mtb and DJ, but when i first rode a trials bike it felt so weird and confusing. So I learn from scratch, 1 hour per Saturday and Sunday. Took me a long way to learn the basics, then figure out to build a street trials 24 since I am 5'4 and missed those bmx/d days. So stoked what I learned until now and the same time crying everytime my lower back aches.... Riding bikes is the only stress-relief for me being away from families while on the job...

always amazing!!!

seems like, I wasn't alone at all! i asked my local friend here who also rides and he replied to me this... received_341937284291162.mp4

i also found soe adapters made from a 7075 heat treated, forged alloy and CNC finished. Not sure how true, but all I can see is the adapter is fat compared to shimano or sram. Thus also looking to Baradine or Bengal, or whichever looks tough if ever that formula isn't available.

I am not sure if it was legit since I broke it. All I know is the cost is way more and it felt so light compared to undranded adapters I had. Going 180 will be my next step, if i ever broke another adapter. I am waiting for the one I ordered and try. This is by far the only fat I saw online...

unfortunately, the 4th (Hope) was only installed 3 weeks ago. The others, except the shimano lasted almost more than 8 months. And it is very hard to find those fat Avid adapters or the formula specially here in middle asia.

Hope you mean? I lost hope...

still on 203 rotors, I am so curious why this happened, or is it only me?

Hi! new member here seeking for better answers. my 4th and short lived adapter (Hope), can't think of which is really bad, me, the bike, or the parts...
