ON YOUR BIKE:
Locals are warned not to bring a single four wheeled vessel anywhere near the CBD of the Kingdom, as the grand final festival of mayhem commences and hundreds of thousands of fans are expected to come down and flood the CBD.

Lines for dinky’s could be seen stretching from Newcastle West to the edge of Kotara.

The rush for a two wheel tank comes at the 11th hour as the city realises that 500,000 whips will grind local roads to a halt and there’s just nowhere to put em’.

We understand that shortly, the city will announce an official two wheel carriages, tipped to be @driftbikes #newcastle #newcastleknights #driftbikes #newcastle #newy

Was literally about to just put AXs on my DJ, as I have them on everything else, then this new updated version of the LHT became available.

Main differences are:

New one piece monobloc caliper for extra stiffness and power transfer, and no chance of leaky caliper halves. The new caliper also has the option of 2 different banjo mounting positions.

New 2 piece lever blade with 2 reach adjusters. 1 adjuster alters the actuation and the other reach adjuster doesn't. So you have the option of changing the reach only or changing the actuation (bite point feel/power curve) and then being able to counter adjust the reach.

These brakes still have the contact adjuster and the cammed leverage adjustment at the lever pivot, so you can do some cool things like have the rear brake set up with slightly less leverage to achieve the same bite point feel as your front brake.

These brakes still have all the nice features such as being full CNC machined, stainless steel fittings, Titanium hardware, reusable banjo and lever fittings (no olives or barbs needed) removable separate cooling fins, top loading pads with open caliper design for easy piston veiw/access for adjusting and cleaning, sealed bearing blade and push rod pivots.

Spoiler alert:
I've already swapped out my masters for AX, for the larger pistons
to reduce the hydrolic leverage to shorten free stroke and make bite point even firmer. Still plenty of power from the 4 x 17mm caliper pistons and relatively large rotors for a DJ (200/180)
The larger AX master piston pushes more fluid, so pad retraction is also ridiculously good. I also swapped out the blades to try the new 2 piece design and already put over 55 pumptrack kilometres on them.

Brakes are the damn dream and I'm claiming this set up as the BK model. 😊👌

I previously ran the S4 calipers (2x14, 2x17) pistons with AX levers, so an even lower hydrolic leverage rate, but still good for this application where I prioritise feel as the power isn't really needed.
