  1. I'm still having a hard time understand why it would make the brake twice as powerful. Are you saying that a 35mm magura pad is going to have less stopping power than a 50mm pad? Becuase i was always under the impression that they create the same amount of friction (one as more serface area, but the other will (i'm not sure what the right word is) apply more push to the rim. I figured the differences would equal each other out so that it wouldn't make a difference on pad size. So i'm I wrong about that or right? I understand what you're saying about one 15mm piston would give you a ratio of 1:1, but having two 15mm pistons would give you a much bigger piston, but that would mean you'd have to move the leaver twice as much, so if you were to run two hope mono trials one one leaver, the leavers open system would correct that so that the leaver wouldn't be pulling twice as much, so if the leaver isn't pulling twice as much, the breaking power would be the same as running one. That's where i'm coming from, i'm not saying it's right though.
  2. I have disagree with that, just because the pad is bigger doesn't mean there is more friction. In fact it's the opposite, if the pad is made out of the same material and the applied force is the same, the size of the pad won't effect the friction. It will effect wear and heat distribution though.
  3. I can't understand why you would think it would be slightly more powerful just because you have twice the pads (twice the area). I mean Monty used to sell 35mm magura pads and they were just as powerful as regular 50mm pads because smaller / bigger pads apply the same amount of force per unit of measurement. (Eg. Pushing a nail and pushing a scaffolding pole into a wall with the same force, the wall is going to feel the same force being applied just over different areas, hence why the nail would probably go through the wall and the scaffolding pole wouldn't make a dent) So, to begin with they would be exactly the same. Looking into it a little more there would be less heat created which technically would make the brake a insignificantly more powerful, however on the downside you have all that extra weight which in a round-a-bout way make it less powerful, also you'd have a lot more of a spongy feel due to having more hosing and all that extra friction in the twice as many pistons. From a riding point of view it'd be exactly the same but would make the front end significantly heavier.
  4. Like i said in the other thread, what's wrong with torrents? Just read the comments to make sure it legit and you're good to go.
  5. http://torrentpond.com/ If you can't download albums without reading the comments first, you should be buying music legally.
  6. I'd say it was a little too expensive. If i wanted that i'd try offering 270.
  7. Jon hasn't been on here since July. 22's the killer, it's just downhill from there! Have a gooden!

    Ouch, My Chin

    I never understand why people just don't goto the hospital. Is it because people will think your a pussy or something? Just go, less chance of it getting infected, more chance of being hot nurses.
  9. People have been wanting a tgs-like geo'ed 24" bike ever since i can remember.
  10. There only seems to have been barely half a dozen snap. It doesn't seem like it's a big enough deal yet. A frame is only a strong as it's weakest point, when the t-pros first started coming out they were all braking round the head tube area. But that wasn't considered to be a big deal. if the dropouts were re designed or re enforced, all that would happen would be the next weakest point would break a couple of months down the road, and if that was strengthened then something else would break, that'll keep on going until you end up with a frame that'll never break but'll weigh too much. Until it becomes a serious problem, i think you should give up your crusade and be glad onza offer a half price replacement scheme.
  11. To send a frame within the same continent will be much less than $200.
  12. Czar is a Deng frame.
  13. Tthe forum would call that 'usual trials marks'.
  14. If it isn't Brittan it's probably either France or Spain.
  15. Not as confused as me, i voted for you.

    Project Natal

    The advert didn't show "I'm sorry, I didn't hear that, please repeat".
  17. That would goto Joe Mather and Nick Carter.

    Click here.* This is made by the same people who made mybrute, and seeing as though that took over the lives (and sigs) of TF members for a short period i though this game would be just as appealing. It's basically breakout (or whatever other name was given to a brick breaking game) but with a really really good story line. It's just like mybrute in the sense that you only get 3 plays a day so you just play it for 10 mins a day. Enjoy! *Yes i know this is a referral link but it only benefits me if you actually spend real money on the game and seeing as though we're all skint i doubt that'll happen.
  19. I don't have much warn left.
  20. You can't add a pic of one person and not add the rest. Use this pic of FP.
  21. PM me pics. On the poll: We need pics, i don't know what JD looks like.
