AlexxRogers Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 Where's the guy that did the bar extensions, he could do a lever extensions with some spare steel bar. You mean like this? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradJohnson Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 You could always just bang some heatsink yellows on a smooth rim. It manages to stop Damon and he's built like a tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bing Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 You want a killer front disk brake, any of the new style shimano servo wave levers will do the job. I've had saints, and I'm now running a 2012 deore on a 203 rotor, and it's more than enough. It's nearly as powerful as the 4 pot saint. The bite and hold is epic. And I did it for £61 using brand new parts from various online shops. If you can afford it, get a shimano m810 saint, and a 203mm shimano ice tech rotor. There is no better disk brake than that out there at the moment You mean like this? That's class Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexxRogers Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 (edited) you got THAT lever but a plastic TPA? I've never had any problems stripping TPA's if I'm honest! Want to swap the ZOO! lever for a normal 4 finger one. EDIT: After posting this and re-reading it, I have a sneaky suspicion that was sarcasm!

Still not much choice on a rear though ideally they need to be similar on the fingers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ash-Kennard Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 (edited) just for your information there are ways of creating disc tabs on a 20" maggie frame LINK and here the picture. i hope you appreciate this it took agessssssssssss to find this picture Edited October 9, 2013 by Ash-Kennard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forteh Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 Now your talking I'm pretty sure the 2014 4-finger maggie has greater leverage ratios than the RB lever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave33 Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 Racing line are producing a lever the same as 05 magura lever with 4 finger blade which has a 13mm piston. But an 05 magura and 4 finger blade has more than enough power. I'm selling some 4 finger original blades to fit 05 if you need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ill eyeball those with the 13mm piston.. id been thinking of boring out a lever body and getting a bigger piston. I'd need an 05 lever body if I were going to buy a blade.. ill look in the for sale section Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FamilyBiker Posted October 11, 2013 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 (edited) Ill eyeball those with the 13mm piston.. id been thinking of boring out a lever body and getting a bigger piston. the master piston has to be smaller to get more power, hydraulic transmission is surface by pressure-master : slave. the smaller the masters surface is than the slaves,the more force transmission is present for example a 14 mm master piston and 2 28mm slave pistons(example is a disc brake) has a power transmission of 1:4,means your fingers power is multiplied by the lever blades mechanical transmission,then by the hydraulic. hypothetic calc: 100N force from finger x 6(say thats the mech transm.) x 4 =2400N resulting press force,thats 1200 per piston,nearly 120 kg. with an average friction coefficient of the pad(lets take 0.5,isnt bad or good either) its 60 kg of static braking force applied to the braking surface (per side obviously).now you got the press force, this multiplied by the rim or disc diameter gives the torque load,which is basically what is slowing you down... you see,it isnt just boring out a piece of alloy and get some o-rings,its a science for its own. saying that making brake pads is one too Edited October 11, 2013 by FamilyBiker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
