NEW THM-CARBONES FIBULA BRAKESET
Moderator: robbosmans
I'm still scratching my head, how is it even possible to release a product which simply does not work. I mean, they should have discovered this centering issue by simply mounting the brakes on one to two bikes and riding, say, 100km total?

You would think, right?
Sometimes, things don't need to be changed.. Sometimes it only needs to be "tweeked" slightly from what is already a solid brakeset (previous fibula's). I for one don't look for radical changes, just want them to "work".. So why THM didn't use the older model and have it accomodate wider rims is beyond me... Now they are stuck with a bunch of molds that can only spit out defective brakesets..

I got mine with those tiny lockrings as well but I have to say that they’re fragile. As the end of the spring are wide, it’s really hard once put the ring on to threads the bolt in(there is no much more gap between the spring and lockring). One of mine ring’s bothside are overthreated and totally lose of functions. I get rid of rest three rings into the box.RichTheRoadie wrote:Installed:
They're actually quite easy to get tight, but I'll wait to see if the tightness I can achieve will actually hold.
I'm also now really concerned about how it will even be possible to adjust these once the brake is mounted and the pads are in place as I don't think there will be any room. It's *such* an afterthought, which is SO wrong on brakes of this 'value' (cost).
They surely have to redesign the spring if they want the brake works well.

Yeah, simply a fail on THM/3T. At this price, there should be no compromise at all. The previous gen has been nothing but amazing for me, don't know how they could mess this up so badly.
Current Stable. Evo (Storm Trooper) : 5.39kg | Alchemy Eros : Heavy (7.25kg) I Specialized Allez Sprint 2022 : Heavy (7.62kg)
I have one pair in box, got them "cheap" from LBS.
Haven't installed them yet, maybe winter when my bike is on trainer, I have to admit that I'm little worried how they will perform on my frame (spezialized allez sprint) cause there's brake housing full lenght from brakelever to brakes.
