Rich Pearson Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 Just pimped my ride with a set of mono trials courtesy of the bearded one from SadPad, and although they've bedded in pretty well (only ridden them for about an hour) and they feel really nice, there does still seem to be a little pad wobble in the rear disc, and actually a bit in the front aswell. I was just wondering if anyone else had found this with the mono trials and if it was anything worth worrying about?CheersRichEDIT: Anyone know where you can get a +20 adaptor for the rear? Just want to bump it up to 180 so's I can use my leeson disc again..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScotchDave Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 It's exactly how they all are, I have it on the front, nothing to worry apart. It's because the pads are held in using magnets, so can slide about freely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigman Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 Any normal +20 will work Rich grab a proper hope one, they look the shizzle and come in black to match your bike And yeh, they do have a bit of pad wobble, my front used to have it, you get used to it............Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mat hudson Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 ilukee ont here has a +20 he'll sell you.only used for about 3 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wally Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 I have a hope mono trial on the back of my Python, it was fine to start with, but then the rear brake started clicking when i did drop gaps, to solve this i put a few layers of tape on the back of the pads, as i was told that the clicking sound was from the pads being pulled off the magnets and the tape helps to cushion the noise so that its not metal on metal, this idea worked and brake is quiet again. Apart from the i have had no trouble with mine Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 Yo Rich,Had the same issue with mine at first - the layer of paint on the pad backing acts as a lubricant for the first few rides, but once it wears off all is fine.There's some other pads in the pipeline with slightly (0.25mm) larger backings too.As for the 180mm version on the rear - its a good idea. They're much better than 160s. Another option would be to get Clive to make you a +20 mount for the frame, since the adaptors you can get tend to make the brakes a little flexy.Any other questions you have, just give us a shout Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Nick Riviera Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 would be interesting to ride that rich, last time i had a go you were running cable brakes and the xtr levers just felt so weird compared to hydraulic brakes, i mean you had to exert force , physical effort ! sod that!but then again, are you still running 6psi in each tyre?
