STICKY VBRAKE PADS
Our Reset 24" bike comes with rear Disc and VBrake options, no Magura HS33 dedicated mounts.
Not everyone is a die hard fan of hydraulic rim brakes, and VBrakes are generally speaking much cheaper and easier to maintain.
There are many different VBrake Calipers, Levers, and Pads options out there. You can get yourself a decent entry level brake for really cheap, or you can put the money and get yourself a very well tuned, friction free, extremely stiff, powerful, and light rear brake.
Our favorite set up is an Avid Ultimate rear Caliper matched with an Avid SL Magnesium lever, Nokon lined all the way from Lever to Caliper, with a pair of these super sticky pads.
Yeah, we're sure you'll recognize the very popular compound that's been rather hard to find for a while... We managed to get our hands on some of those and are happy to offer them to our customers.

128mm ISIS TITANIUM BOTTOM BRACKETS
Weight. One of the most important concerns of trials riders.
It eventually gets to a point where saving a few grams becomes an expensive task.
With 128mm ISIS spindles being quite the standard for stock trials bikes cranksets, and with most of the current bottom bracket options available being not much different from one another, we decided to take the leap and offer a proven bottom bracket unit design with the upgrade of a 128mm titanium spindle.
68x128mm Titanium spindle with M15 Steel bolts
Double sealed bearings on drive side for maximum load capacity and greater durability
Will clear any cranks/freewheel setups
Weight : 210g, including steel bolts
Retail price : $125.00CAN
Life's not perfect - Do it yourself !
Anti-seize will prevent metal to metal seizure. Always use ti-prep on threads and splines.
It's important to face the BB shell of any frame before installing the bottom bracket unit. We strongly advise anyone getting a new frame should do this, especially if you're getting one of those popular and affordable asian frames, and EVEN if you're getting a super fancy 4000$ DH bike frame, or one of ours.
We do face our frames before shipping them out, but we don't trust anyone else's work, and can't see why someone wouldn't want to double check after us, just to feel good realizing we did it right ;)
Wide BB's and possible problems...
Wide BB spindles are popular as they allow for plenty of clearance for your front freewheel setup or your 32T+ MTB chainring with the chainstay yoke even with really short chainstays, on top of offering a stable position on the bike. However, short chainstays combined with a wide BB spindle can lead to a really messy chainline. To avoid premature wear or failure of your chain, cogs, and freewheel, make sure you work on getting the straightest chainline you possibly can. And on top of that, if you're riding a single speed setup, don't over-tension your chain. |
