sidehop Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 sound awsome, So dual rim brakes once uve got it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sucram Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 (edited) Very nice, is it long or short? I have an Adamant A3 and i love it as well. But i need a new hub now, still got that viz one? Edited July 27, 2007 by marcus_tpro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted July 28, 2007 Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 (edited) How's the Hope working in that position? I didn't know you cold use a lever upside down in open systems. Very nice bike though, uncontaminated by strong colours which can only be good edit: have you thought of connecting your front and rear brake to the maggie lever using a hose splitter? much easier than that complicated lever you were designing a couple of months ago. The only thing that might complicate matters is that Hopes use DOT and Maguras must not be bled with it.

Charlie Jennings Posted July 28, 2007 Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 Woah nice!But whats going on with the brake lever's? I have never seen that before =SLook at his name you fool.

The only thing that might complicate matters is that Hopes use DOT and Maguras must not be bled with it.He has but as only one piston is pushing 2 times the liquid, it makes the brake shit!Looking nice bud, front disc now ey?

The only thing that might complicate matters is that Hopes use DOT and Maguras must not be bled with it.He did used to do it with twin hs33s, but the TPA was usless and it was really hard to set up right and really spongey I seem to remember.Could try it with double disc?

Greetings Posted July 28, 2007 Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 yeah i can imagine that would be a serious issue with such a setupmaybe two hope trials and a magura lever would work (would be weaker than a normal brake but not spongy)could always use a very long hose and have a friend of yours operate the front brake we tried doing that with a rear brake about 3 years ago with a mate and it worked, was pretty fun and really challenging!

Has anyone seen my shoe? Posted July 28, 2007 Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 I still think that he should try my idea of running 1 (or 2) cable brakes attached to the same lever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted July 28, 2007 Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 yeah, like two 8" bb7's - that would definitely have enough stopping power on a mod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1handedluke Posted July 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 haha cheers guys! new bikes feeling ok, not as good as i hoped still prefering my old echo to be honest. hmmm......Yeah the front brake works fine, the reservoir is still higher then the piston just! so it works fine! but i perfer the feel of a magura. might take it off soon, and yeah if i get this lever it will be duel HS33! its ether a altek old magura lever or a bremco motorbike lever! but adam has a old altek lever, just gotta convince him to sell it to me You seriously think 2 BB7's would feel ok? i'd have to extend the lever like a bitch. plus i don't really like the feel of discs moderation! makes me scared almost Simps wanna have another london ride soon!!also cal i've lost my number and we are riding around colchester tomorrow, so come out if you wish and i can give you ur tripod back!haha was wicked tonight chris, good to see you riding again homie! you betta come out more!cheers for the comments guys makes me feel good, ohhh yeah x and yeah stump will do fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
