As good as these brakes are, it looks like the wait time is more than a year!
Where are you all buying these brakes from?

They sometimes pop-up at bike24.de, but are gone (sold) very fast.

I have a beautiful set of Tricktuff Piccola brakes and I would have a question regarding calipers.
I've bought my new XC bike which comes with a flat mount disc brake at rear. Since my Piccola brake set is Post Mount, maybe I need to search for a flat mount -> Post mount adapter.
My question would be, is there any adapter which could be used? The bike frame is a 2022 (or '23?) Canyon Lux CFR World Cup and if I'm not mistaken, the flat mount on the frame is suitable for 160mm flat mount disc brake as default.
(I tried to find information on the net on this but still not clear to me, in which constellation could work between PM and flatmount.)
Update: maybe this one? https://r2-bike.com/SHIMANO-Adapter-Fla ... 60-mm-rear
Shimano's website (clicking on Mount Style a table shows up with all variations): https://bike.shimano.com/en-EU/product/ ... 60PDH.html

...or alternatively, if the install not possible with an adapter, I need to buy a C21 or C22 flatmount caliper. Which is unavailable...
However, I found that, Trickstuff Piccola brakes compatible with e.g. Magura calipers and Magura flat mount is relatively cheap and available in many webshops. But the question there, is the Piccola Beta Ring connector compatible with the Magura brake hose? :noidea:

Did the bleeding process to my Trickstuff Piccola brakes.
Noticed at the end of the process, a seal has been damaged / torn. I found this pic on the net, mine has black seals anyway (bought the bleed kit ~2 years ago) but I think the size must be the same. Which seals or what size I need to buy for replacing the damaged one?

just write to Trickstuff directly, their customer service is great and they probably just send you a few new seals for free

I'm searching for a new flat mount C22 caliper but out of stock everywhere (hunting for it at least for 8 months now...). Any of you have seen one appeared in any German webshops and/or has any insider info on this?

And a technical question: do you know whether the C22 calipers are compatible with Magura brake levers?
