Mark W Posted June 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 My face when I found out that I couldn't fit the Saint pads in my E4: Knew I had some Shimano pads in it, turns out they weren't that style. EDIT: They're available now: http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/disc_brake_pads/trialtech_disc_brake_pads_to_fit_several_styles_of_brake/c83p12957.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted June 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 Some of the other new Trialtech parts have appeared online now too: Sweet new headset (59g, not bad). Fluid (£8 per bottle), which is 100% made in the UK and safe down to -12°C. Alloy cylinder washers with O-ring to make fitting and adjusting your brake a load easier.

isitafox Posted June 6, 2015 Report Share Posted June 6, 2015 Was the headset inspired by Adams machined down Echo or the other way around? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted June 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2015 We (me, Stan and Cap) were running machined down headsets a good few years back so I imagine they might have been inspired by that. Cap's been running one of their sample headsets for a bit too just to make 100% sure they work fine. Was almost tempted to get one after running a machined down on in one of my old Arcade builds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for my naivety, but how can a machined down headset carry any better performance attributes over a non machined? Or is it simply a weight thing?

N.Wood Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 Will that exposed bearing go rusty or is it ok? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted June 9, 2015 Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 It will end up with a little surface rust over time (as it will in a full headset cup), but a wipe over with some wire wool would get rid of it, and it could be prevented by giving it a wipe with an oily rag if you wished 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manuel Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 If that headset is as good as the one Dave gave me to try years ago then it's flippin awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 Haha, yeah, it has been in the pipeline for ages this product, with it being a little different they wanted to make sure it was thoroughly tested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross McArthur Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 Trial Tech 1 finger levers. Has anyone had problems with the lever reach grub screws winding themselves in so far the lever won't return out? @Gordydee is having this issue right now.

Mark W Posted June 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 I haven't heard of anyone having problems with any of them. I don't really get what's going on in that issue Gordon's having though - the screws are all pre-threadlocked so they shouldn't be able to move around in use, not to mention that aside from it setting the start/end point of the lever movement, the grub screws shouldn't have any effect once you've actually pulled the lever in?

Ross McArthur Posted June 6, 2016 Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 When he was pulling the lever in, as normal as he was riding, the grub screw was winding in, somehow, so much so, that the lever, once he let it go, wouldn't return out, almost locking his wheel. Really weird. He had to take them out to ride meaning the lever was sat well out. The grubs didn't look to have much thread lock on them.

Mark W Posted June 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 That is pretty weird in that if anything I'd have thought they'd go the other way. Probably worth putting some more threadlock on there and getting them set in place? That should be it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross McArthur Posted June 6, 2016 Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 Yea, simple solution. Just wanted to ask if anyone else had seen this happen. As you say, its really weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted June 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 Indeedy. I checked with TT and they haven't heard of it before either, so it's some weird physics defying setup that appears to be unique to Gordon's bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Some dealers get a Trialtech V2 fork next week as a sample. The entire batch is going to be shipped in a couple of weeks. I'll get mine next week.

Mark W Posted July 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2016 Those aren't 'samples' as such, I think they just had a limited number air shipped over ahead of the main batch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigjames Posted July 4, 2016 Report Share Posted July 4, 2016 What changes are being made to the V2 fork? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross McArthur Posted July 4, 2016 Report Share Posted July 4, 2016 Less weld area at the top (and bottom?) of the mount. Weld doesn't go all the way round now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigjames Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 Have there been many issues with the 20" version of this fork? Need a new set and it's either a set of these or some carbon forks, but if the Trialtechs are solid then I don't know if I can justify the additional money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
