ghostrider88 Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 I thought the TT BB was ment to have long lasting bearings? Mine have gone already.. The bearings on it lasted a similar time to my onza BB I've had one for around a year now, still going strong. Dude you´re seriously lame... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canardweb Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 That's wonderful for you. But that doesn't mean that these pads are the same as TryAll pads does it? That's true. They are made by the same man but are not all the same. I know how a pad is made and what goes into its composition. I have even been trying some I made a while ago. They weren't good but I know how Thierry works and he keeps the same basic recipe which makes all the pads he produces more or less similar. The green pads weren't protos - they were commercially available? From my experience the different pads have fairly different performance too, it's not just a case of them being different colours just for looks... I thought they were protos as well as the black ones Thierry once made in sky blue backings. Sorry about that. I didn't know he finally released them. They were out as protos when Koxx Grey Sky came out. Sorry. I know coulours doesn't all the time affect performance. But as I said above, I know how Thierry works and all his pads work well but have the same disadvantages. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted June 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 That's the only 1 of those BBs I've heard having any sort of manufacturing defect like that on it, so I wouldn't say it was one to 'watch out for' as such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KMT Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 One more quick question about the BB. Are the bearings replaceable? eoghan c: Yes, not english course. But some of us here are not from England... I read that post three times, then gave it up. If you write to a forum, you do that because you want people to understand it... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew62 Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 I'm from England and i have no idea what he was saying either, so i wouldn't worry. I find it remarkable that so many foreigners like yourself have such a greater grasp of the English language than the many who have grown up through our education system who seem to write phonetically and without any form of apparent intelligence at all. It's a credit to you KMT, and 'eoghan c' you should be ashamed of yourself. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted July 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 Here's the Trialtech Sport Hose Splitter too. Stan's been testing these for a year or so now, and they're sweet. I put one on recently too and it certainly improved matters. The main differences with the Trialtech splitter is the larger internal bore, and the use of barbed fittings rather than the 'built-in' system on other splitters. Suitable for use on the front too if you give it a twist, as this photo of Cap's setup will hopefully show (if it works...). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamR28 Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 How much are the Monty ones in Poland? They seem pretty good value (comparably) over here but maybe the Monty ones are really cheap over there... Whats the point of that? Or are you just testing it out? Better hose routing for front HS33 - keeps the hose away from the frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted July 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 People seem to be happy to pay the price for Monty ones (Which are a tiny bit less than the Trialtech one), so bearing in mind how much better the Trialtech ones are I don't think it's that much of a problem. The Trialtech ones appear to be way higher quality than any splitter I've seen before, and use a better system for installation, so in comparison to what else is on the market they seem pretty reasonable.

Mark W Posted July 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 Most people seem to find the Monty ones a bit of a b*****d to fit, which I think partially why Trialtech opted for the barbed fitting option. I've seen a few Monty ones break previously (we've definitely had customers who've broken them fitting them), so this alleviates that problem.

Greetings Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 Wasn't the easiest job but managed to get it set up in a satisfying way. Definitely hides the hoses nicely so they're more difficult to hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
