Deda normally have loads of options which might finish it better if you cant find mondraker. It’s not really the end of the world though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dexter-morgan Posted Friday at 09:41 AM Share Good morning, have anyone here mixed calipers, I am using SR505 Dual control levers with my Normal MTB MT200 calipers, they seem to work but the brakes are only solid with the lever almost against the bar, any tips? If I put the Bleed block in the caliper the lever is solid from the beginning. I am going to purchase some new brake pads this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had similar on @KB280DT bike a while back. New brake pads, system bleed. Lever travel stayed long .... Discs were below the minimum wear limit ... Fitted new discs and the lever travel is perfect.

Stem is 50mm long, the distance from the saddle to the bars are actually the same as my Trek Emonda, it might be an optical illusion, I did a 60km ride Sunday, was actually very comfy, planning to do the 947 on it.

Bub Marley Posted Monday at 12:23 PM Share I think i figured out why i hate the look of these bikes so much. It’s the forks. More specifically those that remove the suspension fork for a rigid one. It just doesn’t work. I think if I’m gonna do this, I’ll keep the suspension forks. And this is purely from a looks perspective. The added suspension might come in handy as well on some rougher terrain. Dexter-morgan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its a good idea have a look at @NotSoBigBen, he managed to get an airshaft with less travel and it works well, Mine works well for all the training rides in early mornings.
