Ah, fair enough- you could well be right .

Damn I'm good. Just missing a few decimal places on Avogadro's constant. Last time I did Moles must've been... 10 years ago! Christ I'm old.

Was that where it was an M coupe or something being driven on a salt flat?... I vaguely remember that. I think.

Lol. I forgot that you get 2 moles for an O2 molecule so I'm back to my original answer... Edit: in an effort to allow someone to shoot me down my thinking is: Atomic weight of Oxygen = 16g therefore 16g = 1 mole. 0.3g = (0.3/16)*1 = 0.01875 moles. 0.01875 x 6.02x1023 = 1.12875x1022 atoms.

1.12875x1022 atoms (In 0.3g of O2)? Been a long time since I did chemistry...

I used to run a booster on the Inspired but then, when I put the Phatpads on, I found that I actually preferred to have a bit more 'feel' (flex) in the lever and so took it off. Saved a bit of weight and cleaned up the look of the brake area too.

Really? That's a new one on me .

Are you sure?! If everything else is ok as you say then the pads or rotor must be contaminated. Try boiling the pads and rotor in water and then sticking the pads in a hot oven for 10-15 minutes. (Wait for them to cool down) then refit and re-bed in using water or whatever. See if that makes a difference.

Good call.

The other option would be to get a Pivotal seat and post and use a wedge-bodge to do away with the need for a clamp.

Yessir.

Yeah, beacause a frozen can of Coke would look different to an unfrozen wouldn't it?! Oh, wait... Because the Polar bear was so hot due to global warming, a nice lady put his Coke into a freezer to cool him down and cheer him up. Unfortunately not only did she use pretend Coke but she also forgot it was there. This made the Polar Bear livid with unquenched rage so he attacked the stupid lady for ruining his day. This made him feel a little better but he could only be truly calmed by his friend Ted the husky.

Bit more info? What does the lever feel like, are the pads moving and making contact with the rotor? Does the brake make honking noises when it drags?

A higher front end would help (either higher rise bars or stem) but first try using your body weight more. While you're rolling along gently throw your weight forward a bit and then immediately throw your weight backwards as you yank your bars and haul the front wheel up. It's kind of hard to describe but you want to use the momentum of your upper body travelling back to pull the front wheel up.

That's wicked!

You're telling me that's not a photo of a rotor? What the...?!

That's because most bike shops wouldn't know an M6 screw if it hit them in the face!

It actually made a lot of sense in my mind... just nobody took on the idea! Because wheel size is done on outside diameter, as with Mods using a 19" rim to give a fat rear tyre with larger air volume so a 25" rim could allow a bigger air volume tyre while keeping the OD 26". If a couple of tyre/rim manufacturers had taken it on for downhilling or whatever it could've been more mainstream I reckon. Nevermind! No longer produced, but were available for a good few years.

Yeah one of my old housemates used to have one- ran a set of upside down and bodged Magura Evo mounts to use a standard 26" rim and still use a rim brake.

Monty Urban.

Well what do you know- it's 1.5mm. Just measured it with a guessometer in t'garage. Edit: And don't say I'm not good to you!!

'Standard' doesn't really mean anything though when the options are Fine and Coarse.

Measure it? I'm guessing 1.5mm (). Can't be bothered going into the garage to measure it though .

Same here with V3.1. Tom and Danny are working on V4.0 at the moment so I think things are being changed in the background. Edit: Reply and things are visible in V4... Gallery's still a little messed up though.
