Nick Garland Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 Looks nice, just hope it is better than their hubs as I recall the hubs not being good for trials Not sure if I like the look of the caliper, but the lever and rotor look interesting.Any details about the importer for the UK and price?

lawrence osborn Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 Looks amazing but the resevior cap area loos pretty weak but the rest is spot on and also love the way the sign is on the rotor we will just hope it preforms as well as it looks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zordon Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 when at last will somebody realize that heating of discs in trials is NOT the problem and make a closed system brake?im afraid this is still a rhetorical question Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurtisRider Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 when at last will somebody realize that heating of discs in trials is NOT the problem and make a closed system brake?im afraid this is still a rhetorical questionbut they can make adjustable open systems now, so its the best of both worlds really...

Greetings Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 (edited) but they can make adjustable open systems now, so its the best of both worlds really...Indeed the adjustability is valuable, but what's good about having an open system in trials?Also, how do you mount that brake on a fork? I can only see one mount on the first pic The only good thing about RB is they make double-sided levers so you can use them on either side of the bars.

Onza Kieron Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 Also, how do you mount that brake on a fork?Bottom right picture will answer your question. Looks a shit design to mount it by though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinJI Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 If you look closely in the bottom left picture you can see IS mounts, there just out of sight in the other pictures.Didn't there levers have problems with leaking?Looks nice, but the piston diameter doesn't look very big on the caliper, so I'm guessing its more XC orientated.
