FamilyBiker Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 i think 203mm discs will kill most of the frames out there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onzatpro09 Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 I Hope (pun intended ) that the Tech 3 E4s perform well, I just shed out for a set of nice purple braided hose ones for my element! I just need to find the appropriate 180mm rotors now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clerictgm mk2 Posted October 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 Element 2014 that is fourplay 2013? 180mm is enough if this is a good rotors. I have some Echo TR 180, don't know, maybe they are good. But I prefer this infernal bite and locking power that 203 rotors gives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onzatpro09 Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 Yep. It is pretty much the same. I don't really want to void the warranty because I worked hard and saved up to get that I am looking at the mini-M4 saw and the mono 6 saw. I have no idea what would be better though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clerictgm mk2 Posted October 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 (edited) Yep. It is pretty much the same. I don't really want to void the warranty because I worked hard and saved up to get that I am looking at the mini-M4 saw and the mono 6 saw. I have no idea what would be better though Why not some 1-piece? I don't think 203mm are so bad for frame. There are not so much difference in 183 and 203 with POWERFUL brake. On both sizes of rotors impact on frame would be pretty serious. Smaller rotor by the way have some advantages like: 1) they are stronger in terms of bending after impacts/landing on them 2) they are lighter 3) more modulation Echo TR seems to be pretty bombproof, you can land sidehops on them. But they are strange in terms of bedding in. It takes ages. Edited October 2, 2014 by Clerictgm mk2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niconj Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 It takes ages. Different metal, not a bad thing though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 Such an Adaptor should be a +40mm one (unless the frame is +20). It is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niconj Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 watching you two recommend bike parts and give tips is like pulling teeth. Like I said somewhere else. Just because I don't know how to ride trials doesn't necessarily mean that I don't know about bike parts, especially if they aren't even trials specific like hope downhill brakes. It is. It most certainly is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying people new to trials don't know about bike stuff, but from experience comes knowledge and just because something works for one discipline doesn't mean it will work for another. Also someone new to trials won't be putting the same forces through parts that a more experienced rider might, so a new rider having brakes that hold for them doesn't mean that they'll hold for someone else doing a bigger move, a new rider might not do big drops so can use really light weight rims which a bigger rider would break easily. I'm not mocking riding skills, everyone had to start somewhere its just the whole giving advice when you've relatively little experience that gets me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
