Cove Handjob (2006)

Brakes

Front - Mono M4 (2008) - Black Hose - 180mm Floating Disc

Purchased in January 2008 from AD Cycles for the Yeti DJ. Moved to the Cove in December 2009.

Description : The only one-piece, four piston caliper available in the bike world offers you additional power with super rigid caliper and solid lever feel. It uses the Mini lever with a fixed caliper housing four opposing pistons. Caliper pistons are now made from phenolic to isolate the caliper from the heat generated in the pads. An open system allows for automatic pad wear adjustment and enables the brake to handle the highest temperatures without “pump-up”. System type: Open Lever type: Mini lever Caliper No.'s: 3, 8 & 974 Standard Disc: 160, 180, 200 & 203 Weight: 430g (inc. lever, hose, 180mm disc, caliper, pads, fluid & all fixing bolts)

Rear - Mono Mini (2008) - Black Hose - 160mm Floating Disc

Lever - New lightweight lever giving smooth, progressive feel and more power. Split clamp for easy fitting. Integrated master cylinder reservoir for easy bleeding. Adjustable lever reach. Black hose as standard. Caliper - One piece caliper, machined from solid billet of aluminium with stiffer caliper bridge and 3D machined pockets. As well as reducing weight, this also allows us to make a more rigid caliper, improving the lever feel. Silver caliper with black bore caps allowing access for servicing. Caliper pistons are now made from phenolic to isolate the caliper from the heat generated in the pads.
