mods Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 basically its better backwards than forwards, which is what you wantI dissagree, if this was the case, then all these new trials frames would have the brake there.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash-Kennard Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 I dissagree, if this was the case, then all these new trials frames would have the brake there..maybe they just hadn't considered it as it is a relatively new concept Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Greenan!!!!!!!!!! Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Looks mint. Would there be any chance of him mass producing those brakes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poopipe Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 mmaybe they just hadn't considered it as it is a relatively new conceptand possibly.. crank arm clearance might be an issue - especially on modsit will obviously make for a less flexy brake when the bike's trying to roll backwards cos all the force is being pushed into the frame. on top of that... it keeps the brake out of the way (bmxs have the brake mounts on the inside of the frame for precisely that reason)it looks niceanyway - zhi, which bit of cambridgeshire are you in. theres still one or two of us left riding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinJI Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 (edited) Ah, crank arm clearance might be a problem. But:a ) stop running lame 48mm rims.b ) If you run FFW then your gunna be running a long enough BB anyway I'd have though, I run a 122 and my cranks miss my slaves fine with new pads.c ) this new break and the Deng one both have shorter slaves, meaning you could still use your lame 48mm rim if you insisted.Edit: aparently b ) is without the space..

Rusevelt Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 Which is the lighter custom Ti bike out of you and your friend? i guess both bikes weigh around 22-24lb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0llie Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 you would have problems running a standard brake booster with the reverse mounts though if they were common in trials as you are putting it on wherer the tire is further out so there would be less clearence between the booster and tire...

Biff... Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 (edited) maybe they just hadn't considered it as it is a relatively new conceptbut it has alot of problems with it being there for one wen you do a drop gap the brake will rip off the mounts and two wen u flat gap or free pedal a gap of any great size the brake will rip off the olny thing the brake being there is good for is backwards manuals Edited April 6, 2007 by Kyle Hinchcliffe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali C Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 I think the brake under the stays is a very good idea! the main gripe I have with maggies is that they have no hold (compared with vees anyway) I consider hold as THE most important aspect of a brake, I mean whats the point of a bitey brake when it means you cant get up anything because it slips back?I think around 80% of trials moves put backwards force on a brake (barr pedal gaps and hopping down slopes) and brakes dont rip off on current frames, so I can only think it would be stronger to have the mounters underneith.

Greetings Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 so is titanium stronger or weaker and is it heavier or lighter surely it cant be stronger and lighter ?AdamIt's a bit lighter than steel and about 3 times stronger.The average Triton frames weigh about 1,8kgs if I remember correctly which is less than most alu frames. And yet they're said to be very strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greetings Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 yeah got that wrongit's as strong as steel but half the weight, some alloys are over 3x stronger than steel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krisboats Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 There was an onza t-rex in supercycles with reversed rear mounts, looked wicked. Never had a go on it though as it was on the display but it certainly made the bike look neater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
