I see,I am 5 foot 8 inches and 14.5 stone apparently this makes me over weight :shock: But I do not care as I feel o.k.and are we not all going to die anyway :?: Its inevitable :evil: I would rather have a steak as my last meal and who knows when thier last meal will be :?: Go figure
I love the san an,but not sure about the focus st paint scheme :?
Nice build though

I remember one of the Mt. Diablo (San Francisco) boys ran both 1st gen cable Pro Stop discs and Paul Crosstop cantis with a Gyro BMX cable splitter on each wheel on his San An. MBA snapped a pic of it at Mammoth around 95ish.

That hub arrived

any pictures ?

Not yet.Its round at a mates.Nothing fancy i reckon due to the cup and race instead of cartridge bearings :? ,solid axle,nuts etc.
Origins still unknown but the rotors that are on it look OK and might well be by Hope :?
Mate will drop it off tomorrow

Would you guys be interested in this?

I got a set direct from Hygia (www.hygia.com/tw) a few months ago for a trike project at work. $90 USD + $30 handling + $55 freight.

It's a pretty good looking brake, ISO adapters to post mount, cast alu mirror image calipers, 22mm single pot. There's a pretty basic splitter, looks to me like they're running smaller slave cylinders to get the travel. The little lever sticking out is a parking brake (optional)

I've not got around to building the proto trike yet, so I can't comment on the performance. Here's some pics:

if that was a front/right lever i would of been pm-ing you

I do have the RH lever , as I got a complete set...ie there's a single caliper brake too.
I needed a single rear fitting (for the front wheel) and a double rear fitting (for the rear wheels) with L and R levers on a front wheel drive delta trike :?

The ISO adapters are all 160mm rear postmount, but Hope or Avid adapters would convert to front fitting.

They're not for sale as such, I'm not going to be getting around to using them for a few months, probably...
If you'd like to borrow them for a trial and swap the levers over. They're going on a factory prototype eventually, so a few scuffs won't matter.

The hose fittings all look pretty standard. I think they run on DOT fluid not mineral oil, but I'll have to check.
They're set up with really long braided hoses, so I'd have to cut them down anyway.

If it all works, I can get another from Hygia easy enough. If anyone else is interested, I could get a batch in.
