Prawny Baby Posted April 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 well, the first incarnation is complete.... i got impatient as i always am, and couldnt wait for the twin pot pouise calliper to arrive, so did the impatient thing and stuck a marta SL calliper on.... problem being it used to leak.... so it probably still does, and i think the pads are contaminated.... although despite this, first pull, before anythings had a chance to bed in, still resulted in a nice firm locking of the wheel.... with some decent pads.... or just the louise calliper, this could be REALLY promising! its looking pretty pimpy ;p but i cant be arsed to take pics right now.... maybe in the morning, when i stick the king back on :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prawny Baby Posted April 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2005 beastly.... although i have a feeling the 2000 lever has a smaller piston as its intended for a single pot calliper.... making this brake stupidly powerful but a little spongey.... only other thing thats a littlw worrying is the amount of rotor flex.... when i stop hard, i can actually watch the disc flex outwards.... could this be because the marta pads only touch the top 2/3rds of the rotor? who cares, the power it creates is quite frankly IMORAL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prawny Baby Posted April 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2005 im just waiting for the twin pot louise calliper now.... and desperately hoping it solves the disc flex issue!!!! its generally worrying the amount it bends, its just so powerful, if it still flexes too muh with the louise i think ill invest in one of those sexy aztec rotors instead!
