onzatrip Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Right i have constant problems from my rear brake that it will not bed in completly and that it slips my set up is: maggie 04 fresh products blade tnn lgms in tnn backings tryall rim with a fresh sharp grind and simtra frame with standard magura mounts. I have tnn lgm in phat backings on the front with trialtech forks and thats amazing same magura set up the brake is set up square what could it be? that my brake is to stiff or that tnns are just shite? thanks tris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 I think you need a stronger finger. From the sounds of your setup it should be pretty awesome... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liam-pantera Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 thanks i wish it was my finger! not just me riding it everyone rides it complains about the shite brake i know someone will probably tell me im wrong but , im using tnn lgm on the back of my monty and to be completely honest there awful . they just dont seem to bite the grind very well at all so im going to give it one more grind and if it doesn't work then im going to look for something else , alot of people swear buy these pads but im not impressed so far . good luck with finding the problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 What's the bleed like? Does the lever feel nice and solid once the pads make contact or is it 'mushy'? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onzatrip Posted April 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 tis solid had a fresh bleed aswell! and if anyone says about tryall slight angled sidewalls there squared to the rim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psycholist Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Try washing the braking surface of the rim with degreaser (Washing up liquid and a good scrubbing brush should be enough, making sure the pads are set perfectly parallel to the rim and sanding the pad surfaces so no contamination gets on them.

315r Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Maybe you need booster?? mmmm Auto-response........No, if you feel it solid..... Maybe you need clean your rim and pads?? Another way is try to use tar..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 you didn't bleed the brake with the tpa on did you? it sounds typical of a piston bottoming out in the lever to me, that would give the solid lever feel and poor braking performance. Even wih the stiffest parts available, I would expect that frame to give the brake at least a little bit of sponge. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onzatrip Posted April 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 (edited) mean like a standard 04 blade? yeah then i switched to the fresh products blade could it be that tnns are just heaps of shite either were down far to fast or just dont work Edited April 9, 2010 by onzatrip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigjames Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Could it be the rim? I know my Viz! rim is awful for putting a grind on and they wear out very fast too. Love the rim it's just shocking for grinds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyBazz (: Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Hmmm I'm having a similar problem, everyone elses TNNs are mint, then mine are awful :| I have exact same setup as another lad, I bled both brakes so they're pretty similar bleed wise, set both brakes up, and the age/condition etc are pretty similar. We even have the same frame. Only thing is, I run try all rear rim, he runs Echo Urban. Only difference. TryAll rims=shit after a few grinds, they flex like fooooooooooooook.

dirt jumper jake Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 if it makes any difference, my tryall rear rim as crap aswell. you have to put a really really harsh grind on it to make it worth while. could just be your rim as the rest of the setup sounds epic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
