i am on Avid G3 from 203 to 180 since most recommends smaller due to I snapped few adapters and calipers. Stopping power still good for me.

i was searching for the KMC 610 but non found. Instead KMC 710 pop out but with thin link. After that snap, I use nomal link now, and works fine. Next chain will be that Z1ehx, since 610 were no longer made

just learning pedal kick from static to more than bike length.... then boom...

Me, trying to re-ride my very first trials bike while waiting for my street trials to be fixed... 10122021.mp4

IS mount brake calipers were rare here, I do have echo disc brake calipers but even the adapter to fit 180 is also hard to find. Hope mono trial will be similar to echo yet finding the adapter is another thing to worry.

recent updates! I managed to use 180mm rotor just yesterday, and just tonight I felt so sad. I did everything as proper as possible, torque, clearance, etc yet... or the calipers were already weak since it is many years old model of MT2.

as with the current adapters I have now, 1 plain washer each side is enough to give room between the rotor and caliper. Otherwise I can get rid of those washers if I move the wheels a bit further back which I think will also affect my chain slack/tightness.

about the pads, contacts and position, all were very much the same. And the same tiny spacers were used for enough rotor to caliper clearance. Pictures maybe not in perfect angle but i would say the same area, only that the caliper position is more forward with shimano adapter. Hope, other Shimano and taiwan adapters have snapped on me before. The Formula haven't so far, but curious on this type from shimano.

I have been to few different names of brake adapters and snapped them off including the pricy one. I got the Formula (second hand) just few months ago and used without issues so far. Felt solid and heavier than those snapped. I was looking for similar as back-up but couldn't find one, instead I tried the shimano then arrived yesterday. Upon comparison, there is a slight difference in position, though clearance and centering were fine. What are the significant differences about the positions of the caliper?

I was also thinking of trying some lighter forks with non-tapered tube. But nothing can be found in chinese online shops.

is that a carbon fork?

Hi guys! I was curious on riding some old school model frame but with my existing parts from my Dirt Jumper bike. After build up, something looks weird and thus feels weird when ridden. BB height, stem too short, i only have suspension forks at 100mm travel. Will changing only the stem with longer one works or I must lower down the fork travel? I don't have the proper specs of the frame, please give your thoughts, Thanks....

CJBike 24 Frame set: Story rims Novatec XD262SB rear wheel hub FUNN ridge crankset Chinese pedal pads (ztto, sixsixone clones) Vaid G3 rotors Shigura deore/mt2 Generic Vans grip parts mostly from Taobao, so I assume from China. Overall bike is solid for me,

seems like 610 were really hard to find now. The Z1eHX indeed available but confused on the price. by the way, how about these Izumi chains as another options?

what about 710 and 810, any drawbacks? 610 also not easy to spot here in my area (Macau SAR)

passing by, low cost shigura user here. Deore levers on MT2/MT4 calipers since 2017.

I am also struggling on these type of moves. At 1 foot, I am so confident but more than that felt like hallucinating, can't commit, scared... 12kg street trials bike is not an excuse, it was me who has lots of things going on in my mind....

KMC 710, so tough yet the lock was the weakest.

KMC, i was just curious about that lock link. Looks similar to thinner type of kmc chains but it snapped instead.

Thanks! Well for years with these avid G3, i have no issues yet on the rotors but with broken caliper adapters. Then this means i could save $$$ and keep it for other parts to be replaced soon.

Masters, I would like to get some of your opinions. I have been using avid g3 (being 2.0mm thick) since 2017 and found no issues so far. Yet time will come that this has to be changed sooner, so this came to ask for your opinions. Will hc rotors last longer than avids? for the price the difference is very obvious. If avids got more advantage, then that will save me lots of $$$, but if hc rotors have waaaayyyy better then i need to save up $$$ to buy a pair.

trials amateur here but already snapped chain locks/missing links/quick links more than 3 times when I just started learning trials. Same thing happens waaaayyyy back when I was young and riding bmx. Few efforts and snapping was no longer an issue.

if only I can afford this hub, this is way beyond my budget though. I am still on my modified novatec SS hubs (126 poe), waiting for signs of resignation for more than a year now.

24 for a playbike would be ok for my height. 26 felt too big, handlebars at almost shoulder in rear wheel hop position and I can't squat a lot because of the reach. I am using a 110mm stem from 132mm.
