JohnyMilton Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 (edited) well today me and a bunch of mates had a day planned in Glasgow skatepark(unit 23), we planned it weeks ago, so i thought i would take my street bike instead of my Onza Zoot so i did, i change my street bike rear brake in to a disk instead of having my Vbrakes(as the Vbrakes needed new pads), but about half an hour in this happenedi was gutted, my day was over, a 3 and a half hour journey wasted just to snap my rear disc mount , and im wondering has this happened to anyone before??Johny Edited January 21, 2007 by JohnyTrials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 happens all the time in trials unless the frame is well designed.On another note, that isnt a dmr, thats an alloy frame and dmrs are steel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walleee Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 that a mono trial disc?Yeh, standard disc mount's can't stand up to the forces trials bike's exert on them. I'd imagine if you were using perhaps a less grabby disc, it may have been allright. At least you've got V-Brake's anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
