Damn right (just messin about)... But seriously, the T-Pro uses an INTERNAL headset, not integrated. Integrated = bearings press directly into the frame = bad. Internal = cups are hidden by the head tube, but bearings sit inside these cups just like a normal headset = good! Adam

Spokeyhoes methinks...

Or just get one for free direct from Magura Time to fill mine up and go ride!

I'm pretty sure it will be! I weight approx 95kg and my brake is really good. There's another small vid here if you haven't seen it: http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....showtopic=73974 (including a 'boon' up a steep slope which shows how nicely the brake holds). Cheers Adam

Cool bag, where'd you get that from?

As far as we are aware, there's no difference... One batch of Silver 36h rims came through with slightly oversized holes (those meant for 32h rims), and we have had one or two with plain (un-brushed) sidewalls (notably the latest 36h Black batch), but that's it. We've not been told the rims are changing, and certainly not seen any difference! Adam

Not really, it'll happen to any hub, King included (especially if you give it loads of pasty like James )

Hey Chris, I'd recommend 36h. If you're building a dual disc bike, I think the best way to go about it is decide the rear end components around the disc - this is the only way to make it work to its full potential. So, 36h for the rear wheel. Plain gauge spokes too if you'd like to add a little stiffness. The MBK disc mount is very tough from what I've seen so far. One of our customers is using one with no problems as yet. The KOT has a great disc mount too. Another option would be the Simtra ST-1 if the geometry allows (which I believe I already spoke to you about)... The Mono Trial is much better for trials than the Mono M4. Its all about piston ratios. Despite the M4 having 4 pistons, the overall leverage ratio between the slave and master pistons is much smaller, meaning less power and lock. The large holes in the Mono Trial rotor also allow the pads to clamp the edges of the holes really well. The picture of that caliper is something I may need to change the annotation of actually - it actually means 'Rear' OR '180mm Front'. Due to the way IS mounts have been standardised, the same caliper run on the front of a bike requires a 20mm larger rotor than on the rear. In short - without any adaptors, the largest Mono Trial rotor you can run on the rear of a KOT or MBK is 180mm. (The Simtra however can fit a 200). There's a few pics and vids of my bike floating about Chris, if you need links just shout Cheers Adam

I'm not gonna be around this weekend now... some other time though! Ads

Haha, not touched either of mine for at least a few months now Its all about the initial setup...

Strange... impossible to diagnose properly without seeing it though, sorry!

Faced mounts, re-bled (properly), got a new sytle rotor, perfectly set up, no contamination... that's about it - just a properly set up brake. Edit: How old is Luke's brake/rotor?

On the rear of a mod bike? A 160 should be MORE than powerful enough, its equivalent to approx 205mm rotor on a 26" wheel! The 180mm Mono Trial I have kicks pretty much all Maguras into touch quite easily... Adam

I noticed a small difference for certain things, but overall the difference was negligible.

Kings are better. Pro2s are cheaper. However the Pro2 is better for what I use it for (I prefer the axle design for my rear disc).

With Echo Urban forks, yes. The variation is large - because the varation in forks is large! It would be the same variation with any frame. I can't believe how 'straight' the Brisas are They must ride really weird...

I know, I ride proper bikes

The 36h are now only being made with hedgehog drillings, hence us not having any with normal holes in stock. We've asked for normal holes but Onza dont seem to have any. More Large haven't taken delivery of Onza parts yet as far as we are aware. Cheers Adam

That stem makes the bike Everyone will learn one day! (When you're old and crippled like us)

Just finished building Dave's new bike... here's some pics! Sexual Adamant Cranks New ZOO! Mounts Custom Etched Pro2 Front Hub Rides great from what we can tell so far (a few hops about on random bits we have to ride around work)... more riding to be done tomorrow! Let Dave know what you think for when he gets into work in the morning Cheers Adam

Matt in 'riding somewhere other than the Docks' shocker! MIGHT be there... What sorta time are you thinking Craig? Cheers Adam

--> QUOTE(joe b @ Jun 28 2006, 09:29 PM) ←Actually, buddy, Stan Shaw's and Adam Bessell's have both gone within about 3-4 months of having one. I'm not saying that these frame are good or not just on the basis of 3 peoples snapping quickly, however it is a good argument against the strength of this frame... Stan's lasted over 8 months and failed due to a manufacturing defect (therefore under warranty), the seat tube cracked away from the top yoke - how many times have you seen that? Adam's was battered to within an inch of it's life after many altercations with rails, and cracked in a similar way to the one in this thread. It was replaced for half price. Not a bad deal? This one's been dented a hell of a lot too... It's like crashing an F1 car into a wall and then complaining that it broke. The frames are more than strong enough to cope with their intended use. Cool picture though!

Just a standard one (well, spaced for a K710), they come with the holes Yeah, the BB rise is only about 30mm, but I like my bars nice and high so I can actually roll down stuff without faceplanting Yeah, same question, what brake did you have Matt? Adam PS: Sod BIU

The final's not on til 7 anyhoo, plenty of time to ride and get back home

See you there then
