  1. He has, the frames should be pretty damn light (all are approx 1.5kg for mods, 1.7-1.8kg for 26")
  2. We'll have pics and info on our site as soon as I get a few hours to do all the pictures (Neon and BecauseBike)
  3. #1 - Top Rated (Today) - Global ---> (this is out of ANY video!!) #2 - Top Rated (All Time) - Sport - Global ---> (Travis Pastrana's 1st ever double backflip is 6th with 5 million views, Rodney Mullen with 10 million views is 5th) Seriously good!
  4. To speed up the bedding in, the paint acts as a lubricant.
  5. 1. Sand paint off back of pads 2. Degrease piston surface and back of pads 3. Ride until there is a shiny ring on the back of the pads 4. This will make the pads stick to the pistons using the same principal that a sticks a rotor to the pad surface Copper grease makes it worse as the pads will then slide even easier
  6. Ok so I've had a few minutes riding... the hold is really really good, bite good, noise TERRIBLE (being made worse by riding indoor I guess)!! It seems to have warped pretty easily which I kinda expected, I wanted 3mm thickness (and could have got it at 4x the price) but made do with 2mm... One strange thing is that if you do a large move involving a lot of brake force, if the brake slips (rare) it seems to instantaneously melt the resin and stick a layer of pad material to the rotor! This comes off very easily though and doesn't affect the brake performance... All in all, was worth a shot, performance is fine (probably better than steel), maybe needs some ironing out before it's worth using for any period of time.
  7. Doesn't seem to, not yet anyway... lol http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/videos/carbonrotor.avi Ali: Spoke to a German guy at Koxx Days and he said he tried it but the brake was too good for the front, also I can try both ends as my rear rotor is 190 and front is 180... so can now chop it down a bit more for the front
  8. Very busy thanks Did that after work yesterday and before work this morning... Works well but its LOUD!! Weight is half that of my old Mono Trial one. Gonna leave it solid for test purposes.
  9. Can't take credit for the idea... but eBay + drill + angle grinder = something fun to test...
