Nah no difference. Just pin 3 sprokets and the spacers together to distribute the load (N)

I've done it before lol. The spokes on one side of my rear rim are twice as old as the other side, and theyre fineo (N) Sam

Just been playing on the hopetech spoke calc and found that my current spokes will be exactly 1mm too long. Will they be ok to build with? Sam

Ok, next question; Echo ERD is 545mm and Sun is 543mm. Thats 2mm difference, recon I could get away with using my current Echo build spokes? Sam

I've just found that they are 590grams which is exactly the same as a 521 (N) Oh, actualy; SingleTrack 26" welded disc rim: Disc brake specific rim NOT for use with rim brakes Welded and machined triple pocketNickel plated brass eyelets30.96mm wideERD = 543mmETRTO = 559mm590g I've got it all. Love google (N) Close me up, Sam

http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=1852 If the weight is around a 521 and it has a good width, this in my new front rim (N)" Then I'll just have to get out the drill. So does anyone know of the width, weight and ERD of this rim please as I've had a good look around but no luck.

Yeah (N)

Dont need to ziptie id you take the other spring out. You can tighten it to the frame.

So does the avid. Its an open system so the pads move in with wear. The TPA is for quick adjustment.

Try www.1001fonts.com or www.dafont.com Sam (N)

The fact that is has a TPA unlike any other hydro disk out there makes it rather unique. It means you can pull both levers back as far as each other so your back and front brake feel nice and even, and the flip over design is a great idea (bolts and TPA pop out and go on the other side so you can either use it moto style or just normal) The actual leverblade does feel very nice though, its pretty much the same as a CNC magura leverblade but it a weeeeny bit fatter so doesn't cut in as much when you pull it hard.

Yeah 13mm is the biggest I could fit in my drill and 13mm is just enough to cover the flat section of the inside of the rim. Yeah it was great (N) I gave it some big dents on the sidewalls and it was still true (N) I wouldn't go bigger than 13 though even though bigman did 15 (N)

Juicy seven :-. After about a year avid BB7s start to die. The Juicy is even nicer than my BB7!

No, it 'clicks' when you turn it. Every click equals 1mm of lever reach. 185 is fine. Its smaller too so less chance of twatting it and smaller looks better :- Pads dont wobble either :D

Nope, I took it out to flip it over. It just a big fat thread in there and its not complitated at all so theres no parts to break :-

hmm. Might give my local annodising company a ring.

Well heres the story, I drilled a 521 with 13mm holes and sprayed it black. It was great but the paint chipped alot so I stopped using it and got an echo. Then I marker penned the silver bits black and driled it with 8mm holes and that looks whack. So I might start using the 521 again but am searching for a way to not have chipping paint (I used primer, and lacquer too btw). I have a new pot of smooth black hammerite in my shed and tried a little on an old mavic rim and it scratch real easy as your suposed to use a primer wit it when you use it on a non ferous metal. So has anyone painted some ally using the hammerite primer and paint and does it chip lol? Any other ideas to black it? Sam

I'd been using an avid BB7 for a year and a half with an XTR lever and XTR cable. The set up was perfect although there were a few problems over the course of this time; - Too much bite for gaps to front wheel - Heating up quickly so there is no bite at all - The adjuster knob falling off - The adjuster knob being so far out that if you fail something you could knock it off - The caliper arm bending.. twice, just under the force of my finger - The caliper arm flexing, so your lever feels all flexy - The internals randomly springing out - Not much modulation - The adjuster knobs no longer clicking Well after this 18 months, THIS happened. I was standing over my bike not even touching the brake and suddenly the internals popped out and were spewed all over the floor like guts. I put it back together that night and found the cause of the problem being a small nut that had worked loose under the outboard pad adjuster after having being turned many times during the set up. This was all prior to the knob no longer clicking when its turned, so if your knobs don't click I strongly advise to flip them off with a screwdriver and tighten those nuts before you have an accident. Anyway, I ordered myself an Avid Juicy Seven DH 185mm at £129.99 from CRC. I got it this morning and after struggling with my grips, managed to have it all set up within about 2 minuets. The power at first was dreadful as expected but as the pads wore in the true power of this brake was reveled. I found that there is just as much bite as the BB7 as they have the same pads but more modulation due to the fact of them being 2 pot (both pads move inwards unlike only one pad on the BB7). Advantages over BB7; - Easyier and quicker to set up - 2 pot - Has a TPA so you can adjust how much you want to pull the lever back - Has a lever reach adjuster - Pimper rotor - A flippable lever that works on either side as you can pop all the gubbins out and put them all back in the other way - Doesn't stick out to the side of the forks so there is nothing to knock off - Loads more modulation - Just as much bite Advantages over other hydro disks; - Megga adjustability in the caliper and lever - Awesome bite - Awesome lock - Nice feeling lever - Power doesn't fade no where near as quickly - No flex at all Gaps to front wheel are much nicer and mainly everything feels a little nicer. The fact that you can adjust the lever so that it'll put back as much as your magura is great and there is no more flex! Some piccys to wet yourself over; Nice and neat, rotor a little grubby but once that washes off it'll be even better. Nothing protrudes from the side of the forks so there is nothing to knock off. Lush lever. So if you happen to have 130 quid for a disk and don't know what to get, I definitely recommend one of these :- Sam

^^ Its not forbiden to smile you know. Whack some waterwax in that or something :S edit: Anti Chav Militia.. good boy :D

Bit late now :S"

Cloooooose topic :lol: Just ordered a Juicy Seven DH 185. I figured that seing as it has the same pads and my BB7 its going to be just as good, but it going to have even more modulation! (Y) Also I'm gonna loooove the adjustability on it like my BB7. Yay, thankyou mummy for lending me money :o Sam :blink:

This guy means BRACE as in gusset, not brass. Get your terminology right young boy.
