davey1991 Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 Please bash it off a pallet or a concrete wall just to see how much abuse it will take So tempting to be really harsh and say, once you've tried it with your face... But i'm to nice to say that Apparenlty he's not using it anymore, WUSS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Scarlet Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 I don't care how much weight it saves if it makes a noise as gash as that.Glad to see that ordinary trials folk are thinking outside the box, afterall if we rely on what just the manufacturers produce then we will miss out on a lot of new creative ideas.

LukasMcNeal Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 Hows it cope in wet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manuel Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 just thought i would add - Ive just been to the science museum in london, and there is an F1 inspired exhibit. There is a full carbon fibre road bike with carbon ceramic rotors on display ... Factor001 or something .... so there is probably a system out there that works already.try a read of this ...LINK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonMack Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 Factor 001’s brakes were one of the project’s most critical challenges, given the road cyclist’s braking requirements over repeated rapid decelerations with highly unpredictable performance. In seeking to eliminate every possible variable, engineers chose a hydraulic disc design using a carbon-ceramic composite. The motorsport-grade material offers total consistency at any temperature and a braking surface that will deliver the same performance wet or dry, at the beginning of mountain pass or in the final hairpin of a 20km descent. As the rider’s control of a braking system depends on the feedback received at the lever, and the efficiency of power transfer from there to the braking surface, every point along that transmission path was analysed to eliminate sources of loss. Rather than soft, braided hydraulic hose, lightweight but rigid stainless steel pipes were built right into the structure of the Factor 001 chassis. Protected from damage by layers of carbon composite, these lines give the rider unprecedented braking power, with all the feedback needed to use that power wisely.Pretty interesting!!
