So if these are on the singleybob Tom what are you doing with the clampers?

@del
TRPs on the Ragley Bluepig
Hopes (that were on the BP) on the SS Krampus
Stooge still has the Klampers 😁

My Rune took a recent trip to the LBS for fresh fluid in Hope Tech 3 E4'S. Both Shimano RT-76 rotors warped.

So this thread inspired me to buy some TRP 2.3mm rotors.

Now fitted, with Hope brake adaptors and pistons lubed.

Bought some of those Birzman brake alignment clams.

Learnt the dark arts of adjusting the pistons to compensate for one side pushing out more than the other.

In retrospect I think part of my issue with the front E4 was using the Shimano adaptor from the Zee's I had previously complete with conical washer.

I now wonder if the RT-76's were warped at all?

I'll try them on a different bike and if all good they may go to a friend who has a new Polygon. That bike has a great spec for the money (current bike prices notwithstanding) albeit with cheap rotors that only work with resin pads.

Did anyone get the lever bleed pipe, shown in that vid, with their brakes? I didn't

I didn't but then again they didn't need bleeding despite having to cut down the rear hose.

Cheers for that. I only have the non EVO brakes, so are those compatible?

What's the benefit? Less dead lever travel?

Aren't they harder to centre though as I assume there is less margin?

The ones I've pictured above are 2.3mm (but not cheap). Haven't noticed any difference setting them up. Your levers/calipers sort themselves out when your first compress them.

If you've been running thinner rotors, you'll probably want to reset your pistons.

Benefits - heat management I think
