Almost How I Want It To Be...


Greetings

Recommended Posts

Aww thanks for all the comments :) Much appreciated.

The frame can be bought from a member called Gazza but since he's currently traveling around Europe, he will get you in contact with a guy who is running his business for him. Unfortunately I can't tell you about the price due to Triton's policy. It's best if you just ask Dimitry.

Looks really nice but ewwwwwwwwww rear disc, get rid of that and it will be perfect.

You said it :P Temporary, until the Hope arrives.

I'm amazed at how well these pads work even on a smooth rim! Maybe it's just because they're new?

Not really, that's the plan for my Echo. And that has little wheels!

It's gonna be beasty...

Your bike is the sex Inur, I wants it, if you ever want to sell it, contact me when I have some money and I'll buy it straight away.

See you later.

Much Love.

So the rear avid wasn't working to good? I am thinking about trying dual disc on my new custom frame and will be using a 8" rotor with a BB7. Please give me some feedback on the BB7. (Y)

Well, those were actually BB5's. After going from BB7 to BB5 on the front, i found those brakes don't really differ in terms of performance. As for the rear though, it was a bit too weak. Obviously you could get it to hold really well with the speed dial knob, the downside of that was that if you didn't completely let go of the lever, the rear wheel wouldn't unlock. Not too good when you're doing a front wheel gap....

Decided to get a 220 Hope because it's braking power is comparable to the BB5/BB7 with the SD knob on the "maximum" setting, yet it doesn't have this annoying issue mentioned above. Plus, a 220mm rotor is bound to be as powerful as a rim brake. Going to stick to the Maggie for a while, quite enjoy the noise and bite it has.
