I know that isn't ideal, but it would solve your problem with it's security. Another option if you have a direct mount rear brake is to see if you can get ahold of an FSA non-series direct mount. Not sure if it has been released yet, but it looks like a possible alternative. Also of course a Magura might be an option if you wanted to go that route, but that's a very expensive swap. <br /><br />I agree probably a new plate and being more meticulous about making sure it's secured before a ride will *likely* solve the issue. I've checked mine before after a ride and seen it was not perfectly secured (although on the front, not at the BB) and I'd guess it was from me getting in a hurry and just assuming it was in place.Christopher Morelockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04491785610585603214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-152718394367156819.post-75528241965838921932016-06-08T16:06:39.582-04:002016-06-08T16:06:39.582-04:00Hej, I would purchase a new plate.

Maybe Tririg even has come up with some workaround to fix the plate better. If so, please post here. <br /><br />It is not ideal, but I check the plate regularly before each ride, and each time when I have had the back wheel out. Apparently, this is what it requires to ride with a Stages with BB-mounted rear brake.

Got home and started cleaning my bike - that's when I saw the cover was missing on the rear brake. I am hesitant to purchase a new cover for $40 and then lose it again on the next railroad track or pothole. Do you have any ideas on how to fix a cover to the brake with something more permanent that two magnets? Obviously this issue was not see in the older version of the Tririg brake that used screws to hold the cover in place.<br />Tim Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05901124691347389599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-152718394367156819.post-64485313274811052242016-06-08T10:38:36.283-04:002016-06-08T10:38:36.283-04:00Hey, You should definitely not go without front pl...Hey, You should definitely not go without front plate too long. When I did this in wet Denmark, dirt accumulated rather quickly and affected the brake performance badly. <br /><br />When I wrote Tririg and I got the reply that it was "likely that the Front Plate was not properly seated in place", and was redirected to tririg.com/miscpay to order a new one. After receiving the new plate, I examined how well it stuck to the brake and discovered there was a bit of play. In an attempt to check if both magnets were levelled perfectly, I broke one magnet holder and had to place another order! The tiny magnet holders are fragile. <br /><br />Since then, I have managed to adjust so that braking is excellent - on par with the original Shimano BR-6810. As rear brake mounted directly behind the Bottom Bracket (BB), it is not optimal for the wet conditions in DK as the front plate is not near 100% tight. Having sad that all BB-mounted rear brakes require extra maintenance. Finally with 700x25C tires, removing/inserting the back wheel is difficult due to the brake pads, so I risk bumping and misplacing the front plate. I actually nearly lost the second plate after changing a tube and not double-checking the front plate. <br /><br />To my knowledge though, this is still the best solution for the combination of a Stages powermeter with a BB-mounted rear brake. <br /><br />I hope you find a good solution!

You will throw a lot of road gunk up there, eventually having the possibility of gumming up the brake return, which will not be a good time. If you must, avoid bad weather. Maybe Nick will chime in.Christopher Morelockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04491785610585603214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-152718394367156819.post-69110515992929104242016-06-07T15:39:41.326-04:002016-06-07T15:39:41.326-04:00I had the same experience with my BB mounted rear ...I had the same experience with my BB mounted rear brake.

I'm sorry to hear the plate has bee...Hi Harald,<br />I'm sorry to hear the plate has been lost. In my experience it has been very strong, but ymmv. (and obviously have) Hopefully Tririg will respond.<br /><br />I never noticed braking power suffer. Mine have sufficient power to send me over the bars if I gripped too hard... that's more power than anyone needs. Is it possible more adjustment is necessary to dial it in? (I have no idea how good of a wrench you are) Also, most braking should be done with the front and not the rear brake... really just scrubbing speed. <br /><br />Gunk will indeed build up without the cover. It is unlikely to affect performance much so long as you don't leave it for extended periods... I've worked on some BB mounted brakes that have likely never been cleaned that still performed well.<br /><br />Hopefully you get everything sorted! Ride fast!Christopher Morelockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04491785610585603214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-152718394367156819.post-56506697871158991402016-03-15T09:11:38.229-04:002016-03-15T09:11:38.229-04:00Thanks for answering.

Breaking power and modulation is decent, but not as effective as the Shimano BR-6810. <br /><br />Unfortunately during my second ride, the front plate has fallen off. It was supposed to be kept in place with the strong magnets. Now, I am afraid dirt will accumulate inside the brake and affect breaking power. I have written to Tririg for a replacing plate.Haraldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18414599519953248413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-152718394367156819.post-770165769037560512016-01-26T06:50:48.448-05:002016-01-26T06:50:48.448-05:00Hi Harald,
When considering which back plate you ...Hi Harald,<br /><br />When considering which back plate you want what you need to do is figure out where you want the cable housing stop to be. The most practical/common time you would want the No hanger plate is in situations where you had your own stop higher up (like if you had a stem mounted stopper, like a cyclocross bike with cantilevers would have... (or if you use the Tririg Sigma stem) you can google image search the specialized transition and see exactly what I'm talking about.) This allows you to run bare cable straight down from the stem into the top of the brake.<br /><br />For most people (and bikes) you would want the back plate with the hanger. *considering proper installation* the back plate you choose should not dramatically effect braking performance. <br /><br />Cheers,<br />ChrisChristopher Morelockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04491785610585603214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-152718394367156819.post-89777772446206371632016-01-25T06:41:14.927-05:002016-01-25T06:41:14.927-05:00Thank you for your review.
I am considering this...Thank you for your review. <br /><br />I am considering this brake only because my direct mount Shimano brake BR-6810 prevents my pedal arm with the Stages power meter from rotating. <br /><br />You refer to the "Omega X No-Hanger Back Plate" when you : "To get the full "center pull" setup you now need to buy the separate "no hanger" back plate." <br /><br />What is the function of this back plate other than cosmetic? Does it actually influence breaking performance? <br /><br />Rgrds, Harald Haraldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18414599519953248413noreply@blogger.com
