rouxtjie Posted August 31, 2015 Share On the brake jack issue. Yes it does suffer from it. My previous VPP bike had such an active rear end under braking which meant I became used to just mashing the rear brake into braking bumps and ruts without any undue concern. Within a ride or two I adapted probably because my left trigger finger became much more sensitive on the rear stopper. I don't even think about it at all during a long gnarly, descent with hard braking. I kinda like the fact that it's go a bit of a quirck otherwise it does everything so damn well it would be a tad bland without a slight braking issue. Next time I see Pat or Mark I will ask them why the design compromise... The only thing I notice is that rear pad wear is more or equal to the front which is unusual for me. Just as well I use Hope brakes where you can dial in your bite point nicely to give any type of modulation you desire.good post JXV 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KALBO Designs Posted September 4, 2015 Share What cable and hose clamps are you using on there?Standard shimano shifter cable and brake hose. Cable clamps I think are off a BMC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
