Are those HS-11 levers? Where did you get those crossover cables? Nice.
If you want some V!z pads I may place an order in HK for some stuff soon (not in a months time though you guys have time to save up so do I). Php400 lang the last time I asked. If you anybody there needs new HS-33s (cheap PM me), rear only, levers etc you may want to pasabay your orders. We share taxes and shipping equitably.
The Echo rim brakes are quite pricey pala, cost of the the system is higher than the retail of a Magura.

For trials, riding disks has a different feel than riding rim brakes. I would always prefer having rim brakes. Even if they hypothetically become more expensive than disk brakes.
Turns out BTW that Echo rim brakes are indeed more expensive than Magura but you get an entire trials package, ie CNC lever blade (standard or long), CNC brakes and ECHO brake pads.

this could be a solution to the cancellation of the frame change  I ordered a set and the SRP is $55 with the boosters |

From where did you order the evo mounts? $55 is almost the price of an entire set(one side) in hongkong. But you already have maggies right apol? The newer mounts will definitely make for lesser flex. I've seen them at Dan's bike shop there selling a pair for P11T too expensive IMO we can get it from china almost half that amount. |

BTW I meant the original HS-33 is cheaper in China. How about trying those trials maggie pads? You can get them from midwesttrials something I will have to get back to you on the link. Your lucky you live in the US now, parts are more expensive but easier to get the money to buy them.

@ patrick I work part-time in a bike shop so i get stuff really lower than the SRP, yup your right all the parts I need is here. the trials pads are just $10 for a pair (rear/front only) anyway its good if you could get the stuff from HK. oh since I am working in a bike shop I can go checkout parts I need from those dealer's parts list. we get stuff from 4 major dealers here(its sort of like the Hans Gee there) good luck on your aquisition from China/HK I hope that pushes thru.
