Ben Cox Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 Hi.It's a grimeca XT (they made shimano the first twin cylinder xt brake). it's nice and has two pistons on each size and filled with dot 4 brake fluid/ It's five years old and as new. Oh, and its red too...looks tasty, any good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spider Posted June 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 Same as xt but different fluid. I have lods of spare parts for it because i work as a bike mechanic in a K H S's bike dealer shop. some old 2002 khs's were originaly fitted with that brake system.

Reece B Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 how on earth can you ride with that stem!must feel horrid... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spider Posted June 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 It's 75 m"m long and with a truevativ 50 m"m rise bar it feels great for my short 1.68 meter body. any sugestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinJI Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 Looks pretty sweet. Is the grimeca any good? my mates XT (the one based on the grimeca) is amazing at slowing you down but doesn't have any real hold.Short stems can feel good on some frames, I run a 65mm easton on my Iolo, I tried a 100mm by 10deg stem but the easton feels a lot nicer really.

Reece B Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 well i rode a bt 6 long with a pazza stem, which is 120x17 i think.perfect for me, but every ones different. so if it works for you great(y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyota200x Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 Stem does look a little short. I would go with a 100mm long one with a little rise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_skj0lsvik_ Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 Rav is really helpfull! I just love BT...He firstly sent me a lot of stickers for my BT 5.0 frame, I had repainted it. I got'em for free Then, when I bought a RAVen6.0 I asked for more stickers and a extra hanger. Got that aswell, great service! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
