biketrialler Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 I can see the avid adaptor itself snapping or bolts going... Its a good idea and im sure Clive has thought it through but I can see the disc itself breaking itself of its own accord and still causing problems...

Sponge Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 I never said rear disc was *bad*... Just a lot of frames and wheels have been known to break because of using a rear disc... What with the new Monty 2006 rear disc mounts and the KOT internal disc mount... I think those with a Hope Mono trial and a strong wheelbuild would be better than a Rear Magura, however, it'll be more expensive.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, didn't you say your avid on the back was shit? :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Pearson Posted August 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 also, why are you getting it for cheaper than everyone else? just wondering :) ta ← Because I've ridden Leesons for a while and helped to design the frame :) Just taken it out today in bristol. almost converted Pederosa to rear discs :P Not quite... I've gone bigger and better on this frame and as for it braking, well, I wouldn't be surprised if something went wrong, thats why its called a prototype, but at the moment is riding beautifully. Now just to sort out the f**king rear hub... Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siders77 Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 (edited) Yeah, when I rode with you today I could hear it skipping quite a lot. Lol. What hub is it? (I was the lad on the Monty) Edited August 17, 2005 by Siders77 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I was the lad on the Monty) ← Ahh! Got you now, its so hard to put names to faces outside of TF. Yeah its just a bulb hub which I've had for about a year and is really now just dying of death. I think a hope Pro 2 may be in order... As someone who's seen the frame in the flesh, what did you think? Good? Bad? Ugly? Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siders77 Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 (edited) I really liked it. But the only thing I didn't like was the silver bar on the back. :P EDIT: It would look a lot better if it was black I think. :) EDIT 2: Oh right, that explains it then. :) Edited August 17, 2005 by Siders77 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Pearson Posted August 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 The silver bar is (to my knowledge) made from aluminium and the people clive uses to paint his frames only do steel stuff (I think). May have to get the spray paint out soon. :P Going to sleep now... Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
