Mr. Coggan and Nick. You guys already have the numbers....

PLEASE PUBLISH THEM.

What's the delay? Can I help in any way?

Can you clone me so I have more time for my hobbies? :lol:

I thought I was done testing brakes, then Magura again offered to provide one. Since I'm sure many people would be interested in how it performs, I'm sort of in stand-by mode until it either arrives, or I know for certain that it won't arrive.

Even once the testing is wrapped up, I'll still need to find a bit of time to finish my report...it is perhaps 2/3s written, but still has a ways to go.

For now, suffice to say that the TriRig is the most aerodynamic mechanical brake currently on the market...possibly the most aerodynamic brake currently on the market, period, depending on how the Magura measures up.

Okay, that will keep me settled for a little while....:)

BRAVO, Brian! I just LOVE that bike!!!! And now you've got the perfect finishing touch. Would you be game to feature that through the "rigs" section on TriRig? Shoot me an email.

Yes for sure but just give me a bit to button up the build as I need to install the Specialized Virtue bottle on there as well as get the cable run sorted out finally.

Very nice :D black bikes rule!

Finally got the routing situation sorted out with a jagwire noodle. A bit tight but it does fit and is relatively smooth!

Looking forward to the ride report and comparison to other brakes.

What were the weights on these with and without pad holders?

Is that the Pro aero stem you are using, this one......Image

or is that the 3t one?

Neither, the stem is specific to the scott plasma, I'm willing to bet if you use the regular evo stem you won't have a problem with cable routing.

Heres a side shot, still need to cut extensions and sort the fit out.

Looking forward to your thoughts/review. I imagine most of the Omegas will go on TT bikes, where braking is not as critical as on a road bike, so curious to see what you think of them on your SLC.
EVO1 | 5.37kg
EVO3 (sold) | 6.51kg
EVO4 | build thread coming soon
S5 Disc
SystemSix (sold) | 8.01kg

Man that front end looks sick!!!!!!!!! Looks like a diving hawk/eagle who's just pulled his head in tighter. I have cockpit envy :lol:

I'll post some more pics later I promise, been really dragging on this build, as the person who was supposed to get me some decals has been MIA for the last month. Don't think hes trying to pull any fast one on me due to his pretty good reputation as the go-to guy on another forum, maybe something really dire happened to him in his life.

Gonna have to tear the bike down again when they come in order to spray a final layer of clearcoat, so I have been riding a sort of hobbled together setup on the trainer until then.
