dart89 Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 Hello everyone, these days I'm testing a new type of check by the CSC Chinese brand ..... here are some pictures and short video of the assembly and how it works! photos I hope you can see them on my FB account, here I put a photo of the complete brake 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azarathal Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 (edited) Looks amazing. Resivoir on a rim brake though? Edit, read on the csc website that it auto adjusts to wear like a hydraulic disc. Edited December 9, 2011 by Azarathal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurence--Trials Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 Seems like a fantastic brake! Everything seems to have been thought of, i like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topsy Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 You can't adjust the whole slaves inwards? Like you do if your rim isn't very wide i mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaarel Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 Any info about the performance of that brake? It looks amazing! but like the previous comment, how do you adjust it closer or farther to the rim? And also whats the brake feel like?

Rusevelt Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 Looks good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cai Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 Sweet design of the calipers, having the mounts built in will surely reduce flex. I imagine setting it up would cause a few headaches though.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD™ Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 If I was planning on running rim brakes again, these look like a viable option... Love the way it looks like they're adjusted. Perfectly straight wheels could be an issue for a lot of people though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pogo Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 I can understand the concept but as a disk pad wears down and is adjusted it does rub the disk slightly, that on a trial bike wouldn't you just get a constant shriek coming from the pad rubbing the rim?

dann2707 Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 So to adjust the distance between the pad and the rim you spin the mounts round the thread? If im looking at it right thats how it looks like it works? Seems a nice idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p_ruskin Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 how would you twist the slaves with integrated mounts? for instance would they not need to be at slightly different angles on each size rim, 19, 20 or 26 for the entire pad to touch the rim? or not have a corner of the pad rub on the tyre just a theory, someone correct me of im wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks nicely simple. Bet it's light too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoze Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 Maybe it's because i've only been awake 15 minutes, but how do you adjust these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dart89 Posted December 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 (edited) please wait loading a demo video that I made, I think the video is well understand the operation and also the adjustment! the weight is 230g for the complete rear brake plus screws, washers and pads! the weight is similar to the ECHO TR, but the CSC has a heavier pump ...... I'll try to put a pump HS33 (I have at home) on CSC slaves, I hope that works and I hope to gain weight Today I tested the brakes on a surface inclined at 45 °, the wheel remains locked and I was very happy with the result (considering that I'm using a 38mm rim Alex and then the minimum, not grinded from a bit of time!) the brake supports rim from 38 up to 47mm!

Martin Reynolds Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 Another thing, are they going to have the little indent on the piston which holds the pad on? By the looks of the pictures, they dont have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the looks of the pictures, they dont have it. Thanks for asking! this is the problem, the piston is free to move, is not linked to the slave by springs, if it had an indent when you take the pad also remove the piston behind it. However this is not a problem as it is currently constructed on the brake! if i put the lever HS33 on CSC slaves, if I manage to get a higher return of the piston, then i should change the attachment of the pad (probably with an o-ring, in this case the cnc backing pads are better!) I'm glad that you have many questions, the brake is still not on the market, if you have suggestions may be taken into consideration!

Laurence--Trials Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 Is there a lever adjustment/TPA typed thing? Other than the one on the slave? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoze Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 please wait loading a demo video that I made, I think the video is well understand the operation and also the adjustment!

dart89 Posted December 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 (edited) OK! the video is ready, i hope it's clear. CSC video Edited December 10, 2011 by dart89 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurence--Trials Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 Really good video, the only down side, i wouldn't run the brake with the pad rubbing the rim, it'd drive me nuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 There seem to be quite a few downsides to this setup that sort of outweigh any possible plus points to it. I think changing to a TR lever might be a bad thing too - different piston sizes for a start, plus you'd be changing it from an open to a closed system so you'd be losing the auto-adjust sort of feature?
