deanie-b Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 The rotors that are included are compatible with standard 3 bolt hubsErm, 3 bolt hubs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's class, looas as it would fit on a standard 6 bolt hub, but it just wouldn't be as strong...See what size the rotor is and maybe you could throw a standard 6 bolt if it the caliper your interested in.I wouldn't really bother though when you have avid cable disks at your disposal and you can be sure they will work well when set up correctly.

N.Wood Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 Ah i remember them!They were all the rage back in the day, Jeff Lenosky used to use one on the front of his Schwinn. The semi hydraulic system tended to be shit apparently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScotchDave Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 Yep the semi hydraulic system was awful, we had a set in my LBS recently some guy had a full old school GT downhill bike. Was cool to look at and horrible to work on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAB Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 They were one of the first batch of disc brakes to come out in the mid ninty's O, and they were sh#t......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F-Stop Junkie Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 They were one of the first batch of disc brakes to come out in the mid ninty's O, and they were sh#t......... One of the first disc brakes? No, Rock Shox were a late comer to the game. Hope had their mechanical disc out for ages and were getting into hydros, Formula had their hydros out too on the San Andreas and the like. If I remember correctly, the Rock Shox brake was basically the same design as the AMP Research one, which had been out since the early 90s. Hayes also had a semi-hydro unit out the same time as Rock Shox.And to think, Dave Cullian won the '93 World DH championship with XTR cantis...

I had a hope mechanical and it was snappy as hell then when hope bought out the first bulb and the rear torque bar adaptor to go with the c2's, i was the envy of everyone, having front and rear discs on a trials bike on a one of a kind s-works m2 with kona p2's...

HargrovesToby Posted April 13, 2006 Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 i had one of these on the back of one of my first trials bikesthey were fine once they were bedded in (which took about a year!) but never super grabby and they always rubbed because they are floating systems.for that price though mate, try it, i wouldnt reccomend it with all the stuff thats now available.TOBY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
