dann2707 Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 It's totally personal preference mate, a bit like rolling your bars forward. But I usually find it way more comfortable a bit higher up. To me, it always felt like I was straining the tops of my wrists having it like that. Bing on here had his like that, and I suggested he try moving them further up and he found it much nicer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake. Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 Dan you never know he may be really tall and tower over the bars causing his brake lever angle to be so far forward Nice bike btw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niconj Posted August 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 (edited) Needed a new booster and customized my orange Echo Urban to match the color of the frame.

niconj Posted September 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 (edited) Since my Zee caliper broke the other day I went back to rim brake for the moment until I can find a reasonably priced Trialzone brake for the rear. I will upgrade to the Mono Trial rotor as soon as it arrives even though I can't really complain about the Shimano one. The rear rim brake works pretty well with Family Biker's pads even though I haven't tested them in the wet. Still, my Saint/Zee brake on the back was awesome and from the front brake I know that the Trialzone can perform equally well (w/o braking) so that I am going back to dual disc any time soon.

Disc.Jokie. Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 Nice bike. You should have just bought a saint instead of that zee piece of shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niconj Posted September 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 (edited) Nice bike. You should have just bought a saint instead of that zee piece of shit. Well, the 820 Saint isn't any better. The caliper is actually the same. How could I have known that the 640/820 calipers are prone to break while the 810 isn't. Now I'll go for the Trialzone instead as it's a very good brake and way better than what I actually need with my poor riding skills.
