Thom Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 I noticed that the 24UK has disk mounts and was wondering what you guys thought on running rear disk on it ? Will the frame hold up and would it be suitable for the sort of riding intended? will probably run a like a 7" disk if I were to use one.

Onza Kieron Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 I think 7 inch will be overkill personally, a 160 mono trial will be sufficient, as for the frame I doubt anyone will have had any experience with them yet. Hope to of helped... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_Tupman Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Nah 7inch/180mm will be fine go for it I really think that rear disc brakes are the future of biketrials they just need a little push.As for frame strenght you'll have to talk to steve and see what kind of warrenty you'll get if you do us a disc.

Will Arnold Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 to be honest, it doesn't look like it's been designed around using a rear disc, so i wouldn't bother. i mean, look at the megamo equips, they have the beefyest disc plate ever whereas the heatsink just looks like they shoved a normal looking disc mount on so that it appeals to a wider market.Will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomN Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Should be good as my mate has a M6 Hope on the rear on his Curtis 24 and works a treat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thom Posted March 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Yeah the only thing I'm worried about is the frame not being able to handle rear disk usage. Might just have to ask Steve about it. TomN do have any pics ? is the disk mount similar to the 24UK cos a M6 is pretty overkill and if the disk mount can handle that then surely it will handle something like a bb7 or mono trial.
