isitafox Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 (edited) My god that looks expensive, I'd love to own it but would be s**t scared of riding it! There's a lad who does the nationals who I think must be around 9/10 thats riding a Sky with carbon bars, told his old man I may have to nick it off him next time I spot it!

Greetings Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 Look like bog standard forks to me. How do Saints compare to Mono Trials brakes? Heard that Saints are very powerful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurence--Trials Posted October 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 Look like bog standard forks to me. How do Saints compare to Mono Trials brakes? Heard that Saints are very powerful. They are VERY powerful, i had one didn't even propperly bed in and had a leak too, and it was insane!! Never got to use one for more than half hour though had to send it back due to the leak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F.N.G Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 What do you think the brake is equivalent as, hope tech? or is the saint better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurence--Trials Posted October 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 This says it all really: http://www.bikeradar.com/gear/category/components/disc-brake-systems/product/review-shimano-slx-brake-10-37523 Look at the graph and find shimano saint, i couldn't find the shimano saint's graph so just use that one. You can clearly see they're the most powerful brake on the market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake. Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 What is up with the grips? Wouldn't mind having one of those bikes at all haha, first thing I'd do is change the grips though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 It's roadie grip tape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake. Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 I know it's roadie grip tape, but what's it doing on a trials bike? I also though the grips looked really short, like half the hand would be hanging off the edge of the bars. Unless the rider brakes with two fingers.

Revolver Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 It's a type of grip isn't it? Preference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a really small guy so I'd imagine he has small hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

netto Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 The brakes have been just awesome I think this is a better solution than having to run the hope V2 on the rear. I've attached some more bike porn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laurence--Trials Posted October 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 As if you've got a TI freewheel on there too!! That sky right there is THE best looking mod out at the moment i think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
