Trickstuff mechanics-hydraulic converter "Doppelmoppel"
For years Trickstuff is synonymous with ingenious ideas, the finest quality craftsmanship, and not least by the breath of the individual, which surrounds all the products!
The "Doppelmoppel" is a perfect example of all these attributes,
because it brings together what has always separated.
Because it is pretty much the only way to racing bikes and Crosser delaying hydraulically.
The advantages of disc brakes lie obvious.
Constant braking power even in bad weather and on long descents provide security
and are only really a good enough reason for their use.
Added to this is that you have to worry about never worn wheels, frequent drivers and owners of expensive carbon wheels will know to appreciate this very much!
The Doppelmoppel is mounted under the porch directly on the steerer tube and combines mechanical brake levers with hydraulic calipers. The current coming from the brake / shift lever Bowden actuates a hydraulic piston which in turn drives the hydraulic caliper.
Also all current calipers each manufacturer with a
Piston diameter of 20.5 - 23mm and DOT are used as transmission medium.
As brake / shift lever all the usual Shimano, Sram or Campagnolo Road Groups are useful. At current Shimano levers the braking force due to the translation a slightly lower slightly weaker and turn the pressure point harder. However, the differences are minimal.
Despite this special system of "Doppelmoppel" scores with a sensitive dosing, a clearly defined pressure point and its high-quality sealing and bearing.
Since racing bikes are tuned for especially low weight,
is still the question of precisely this.
For this purpose, a small comparison:
1x | Doppelmoppel incl. Assembly accessories | 185g |
2x | Kevlar hydraulic line | 70g |
2x | Caliper Shimano XTR BR-M985 | 190g |
2x | Disc Ashima AI2 160mm | 134g |
all screws made of titanium | 20g | |
Total weight: | 599g |
For comparison, a conventional braking system:
2x | Brake Shimano Dura Ace BR-7900 | 293g |
1x | Brake Cable Jagwire Ripcord L3 | 173g |
Total weight: | 466g |
This provides for the hydraulic solution with Doppelmoppel additional weight of just 133g!
In relation to the increased safety aspect and the improvers brake performance is more than acceptable
Solution. By the time you have to change the first time due to brake wear your rims, the argument of the more weight you will care less.
