The One

Yea... the title pretty much says it all. These are by far the most impressive brakes that I have ever used... and they are only half bedded in. The front came in at 361.7g and the rear at 377.7g after all the lines were cut and bolts were removed (3 rotor bolts). Thats 21.1 heavier in the front and than a Juicy Ultimate and 12.2g lighter in the rear. So The Ones come in 8.9g heavier than the Juicy Ultimates for the EXACT same set up..... oh yeah and there a Downhill brake..

I have a race Saturday and I`ll post a piece on the brakes (once fully bedded in) and the race( sponsored by Sierra Nevada Brewing Co). It should be sweet.

A little tid bit on that new BB of mine. The Installation went quite roughly, no pun here. I pulled out my old Truvative Giga pipe Sl which was by the book TOASTED. I cleaned the threads off and re-greased them, the new BB went in smoothly but was binding up at one point in its rotation. I suspected that the BB threads were not aligned properly or the shell needed faced, either way I was not about to ride a $180 BB with a tight spot in it in fear of killing the bearings. The next day I made a trip to the shop to chase the threads and face the shell. The problem turned out to be the shell was not faced causing the BB to angle when fully tightened. With the new BB in my derailleur had to be adjusted and chain line checked. As I figured it was 2.5mm narrower, Duuuh it better be. This leaves me with a setup with little chainring and crank arm clearance but a sweet chainline and a Q-Factor (5mm narrower than before) so I guess its worth it.
