true...but a tyre suitable for mtb might not be suitable for trials...so i would take their reviews with a pinch of salt..... we, for instance, need far softer compunds, far larger carcass tyres, and a lot more puncture resistance than is normally necesscary

for a front i reckon it'd be fine mate;...pro3, i think, are aimed at the more xc end of the scale, but it should be able to cope with front end duties with ease

i doubt i can lend much of a hand but if i can help, let me know......this could really be good for a lot of riders i know.... Im sure at least 5 people i know would be up for this...especially as its moderately close to me....

so two birstol rides in 2 weeks...nice.. If the first ones a success ( 30-31st) ill be up for this ( weather and travel dependant though )

so basically a think single wall?

i just wouldnt trust them to be honest....120 ep is too many to trust; especially as its intended for dirt jump use

sounds good...would be great if there were some comps local to down here ( cornwall )

looks good... did you get the wet or dry compound? is this tyre dual ply, or single?

nice pics there...but please don't quote the pictures as well!

id really like to go to a comp this year...... ive never been to one, but they sound like a good laugh ...... if anyones going to one from the plymouth area id be well up for contributing to petrol money and going to one

ah, so thats what those clicks are..... i dont have any dot fluid at home atm....i think ill wait to do it; get the mount faced, lube the pistons, give it a fresh bleed, and source some IPA to clean the pads and rotor

we have to have a decent plymouth ride soon.....

right....any idea where i can get some? disk brake cleaner managed to ruin jakes disc brake ....so i wont be using that in a a hurry! Sweet..! I think plymouth is my best bet....

right...is that nail varnish remover? is a hope mono mini powerful enough as a front brake? ( 180mm rotor )

right.....is anyone around for theis weekend coming then?

awesome, whats best to clean pads in your experience; is it worth sanding them as well?

ah reet.....so wd40 and some tyre levers to puch the pistons back in and im good to go?

ohhh.....more money is it worth giving it a rebleed? it hasnt had one since new ( and they're 06s )

Erm....how? push them in?

the diaphragm ? the reservoir at the top? Right; should be able to solve the sticking piston now..... right; another question ( sorry about this ) i.ve got some urban forks with a hope 180mm disk, do i need any form of adaptor or will it work okay ?( ive fitted it but it always seems to rub.....the pads dont seem to be parallel with the rotor, so i think the disc mount on the fork might be bent in some way...its definitely rubbing on the pads ; not the calliper

sweet, thanks muel; thought you'd be the one to ask on this one if i had no replies .... ill do that tonight. Ive never had a disc brake on any of my bikes before so im totallly new to this....i think its dropped a bleed as well; when the lever's fully depressed only one piston moves, and thats only by about 1mm or so....but both pistons are sticking out by at least 2mm, so does that mean they're not returning, or i have to rebleed it as well?

Right, got a hope mono mini with my new dmr so i decided to try it out on the trials bike...problem is i think its got sticky pistons...anyone know how to solve it? apparently wd40 works, some say silicone grease...so could someone with experience on these brakes please shed some light? Oh, and whats the best thing to clean padss? i heard it was ISA ( isopropyl alcohol ) but i vant find where to get some....

so tempted to spray my zenith in the sky red colours

basically; no validation = no-one trusts you.... i can understand the system; it does work and stops some scammers/ total tards ( not insinuating that you're either ) But i know it sucks for you to be honest.... Oh well; this thread'll get closed soon...
