trialsiain Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 I see why a lot of people hate you on the forum.. I used caps lock because you clearly missed the fact that I said I personally have never hit my discs. How often do you? With dual discs? I don't but if I had them at Shipley they would have caught more than a few times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bing Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 You have to be nice to me Brad.. After all.. You know what Photo I could leak online You can't dangle the carrot and take it away. Show us the picture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williams Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 Actually you don't hit your rotor that much. With that said, my new 160 rotor that is 3 days old looks like a S and that is not a factory mod... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blake Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 Oh my f**k what is this thread. At the end of the day it's a matter of opinion, so make up your mind which one you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bing Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 Looks like a Marino or another custom build. And that disk is on the wrong way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashleys sugden Posted April 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 i have a front disc on my 24 at the moment, never bent the disc, never had any problems with it. i have also had front discs on my past three bikes, never any problems with them, so thats why I'm thinking dual disc. i just want peoples opinions on what i should choose on!!! i also side hop left foot forward so i will never bend discs! I'm definitely thinking mod!! thanks for the help everyone.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bing Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 That´s the right way for rear disc on trials bike. That disk is on the wrong way. They have direction arrows printed on them for a reason, put there by the manufacturer. It's so they don't deform or collapse under the stress of braking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FamilyBiker Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 (edited) theres no right way to mount a brake disc in trials other than to do it on the front wheel :wink2: but yeah it was on the wrong way round. those "arms" must point forwards to prevent a collapsing brake surface Edited April 5, 2013 by FamilyBiker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trialsiain Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 but see how they can only go one way.. when you have it on the back of a bike it needs too hold backwards and forwards ? dosent that break it easier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostrider88 Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 but see how they can only go one way.. when you have it on the back of a bike it needs too hold backwards and forwards ? dosent that break it easier Bigger forces on back wheel are going backwards. But technically, yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williams Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 never bent the disc, never had any problems with it. i have also had front discs on my past three bikes, never any problems with them, so thats why I'm thinking dual disc. That's what I said before I got a rear disc brake aswell. I changed my mind after a week.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalopS Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 I say keep the 24. With 24's and stocks been so light these days I don't think mod's have as many advantages anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the mysterious leemur Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 Because I've never hit them badly. I've never f**ked a goat , some people still do it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FamilyBiker Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 (edited) rode with my maggie for over 3 years now,before that i had disc and killed 3 adaptors and calipers(cakipers for dez :wink2: ) in 4 weeks or so from backwards forces while training backhops. never change a running system,and ditch whats twisting your nerves i´d keep the 24,too,the best thing imo Edited April 6, 2013 by FamilyBiker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamKidney Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 Dual disc is brilliant. I rode dual disc for a majority of last summer, and I couldnt fault it. I did some of my best riding running discs, and compared to a magura they were a godsend. Quiet, held so so well, surprisingly bitey and they just worked. Set them up at the start of summer and didnt touch them once following. Im not the smoothest of riders either. I sidehop to the left, often miss sidehops etc... and my rear disc rotor was fine, or nothing a quick tweak couldnt sort. No collapsed discs, no ripped mounts etc... I'd go dual disc again in a heartbeat, but I really cant afford it at the moment 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezmtber Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 This much damage I got in one month. Disc straightened once. It was rubbing a little after I scraped the rim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thinkdougie Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 Making the move to 24 is the best thing I've ever done. I just think they are perfect; best of both worlds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AkuskaUK Posted April 7, 2013 Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 I've never f**ked a goat , some people still do it? You now owe me a new pair of boxers after pissing myself with that! Brilliant! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
