smear gritty mud on the rotor...ride it whilst dragging the brake, rinse and repeat. As for the SD lever, the lower it is the more leverage the lever blade exerts, and the more spongy the brake feels, the higher, and the stiffer and less power you get out of it due to it being closer to the fulcrum

Ask Kieran Whitefield, Darren McAllister, Bigman etc...they've all had extremely fast wearing pads

the price is pretty appalling, over £50 a tyre is ridiculous, but aren't maxxis planning to follow suit? Makes Kena nevegals seem like quite a bargain.....

depends on his size and what he feels comfortable on to be fair...although id always go for the t-pro if im honest

can;t go worng with a t-pro or zona zip...only downside to the zip is the weight, but wwith a reasonable build you can get it to a decent weight fairly easily.

The brakes fairly lighht in itself, lacks the hold of the trial version due to the smaller caliper piston size used. I used one for a bit and wasnt impressed, although this was due in part to shoddy setup.

linky

odyssey linear slic....does the job just fine for me

sounds like sticky pistons? polish them with autosol and lube them with dot fluid....or for bets results ask muel, as he's a bit of a hope wizard as far as i can make out

That's an ozna t-pro if im not mistaken

also chuffing expensive due to the tolerances involved?

ill try, erm, i think i might be able to get them after the ride for you?

dont use an allen key, use a torx head, like a disc brake rotor bolt they work better.

screw on burns, and you've got possibly the best crankset ever invented

Really don't like urbans. They're so damn flexy, although ive olyl ever tried them on a stock. Zoo! forks are certainly far stiffer in my experience

looks fooking mint, same bar and stem combo i run on't zoot......

yeh there was a bit of a trend for them recently....

pfffft ...woody, your the smoothest mofo around

ill bring my bb tool, you briong an adjustable...sorted ill be there....

gte some 25.4mm wingbars then or some easton ea30/50's

nice bieks to ride, streety and short though...vee mounts as well.. i rode a base ta26 mk1 and it was pretty nice, if a little hard to ride as a pure trials bike if im honest. Would be fine for a beginner though if the parts spec is good for the money. whack a spec up for me?

More hassle than they're worth...they're just to stop muck and crud getting into the cable run, although with trials it isn't really an issue

that is mint! was expcting something like the freetrials...geo sounds spot on as well

onza carbon bars are horrid, too short or too long...and not enough ride, ( akin to new zoo's ) I prefer: 221ti bars, old zoos's

bigman and kierans are wearing extremely fast as well, id buy some refills for sure if it wasn't for the epic wear rate
